IPC offers two kinds of warranty coverage available:
a Materials Warranty and a System Warranty. Either
warranty can be for a term of five (5), ten (10), or
twenty (20) years, depending on the thickness of the
coating applied membrane.
Because of the cost of inspection
and processing, roofs of less than 20,000 ft² are
normally warranted by the contractor, not the
manufacturer. For roofs of 20,000 ft² or larger, IPC
ordinarily charges no inspection fees. IPC will consider
warranting smaller roofs on a case by case basis, but an
inspection fee is usually charged to cover the
inspection and administrative costs.
Warranty Fees: IPC charges
no fee for its Materials Warranty (IPC warrants the
membrane to remain leak free for the term of the
warranty, and will supply materials to repair any leaks
for the duration of the warranty). For the full System
Warranty, IPC charges $0.01 per square foot per year
(the System Warranty covers the materials and the labor
required to repair any leaks in the membrane for the
duration of the warranty).
Limitations: Of course IPC
can only be responsible for the roof if it is left
intact. Earthquakes, substrate movement, hail damage,
fire damage, hurricanes, vandalism, etc., are not covered under our
warranty. See specimen Warranties for specific
exclusions.
Please Note: This Warranty
Information is only a general summary. In no way does it
alter, augment, or replace the language, meaning, or
legal standing of the written Warranty itself. Please
refer to the Warranty specimen itself for all questions
regarding exclusions or limitations, and the
responsibilities of the building owner, the contractor,
and IPC.
