Answer This Question
A: Thank you for your question. Liberty is a self-adhering roofing system. For 1-Ply installation we recommend installing the Liberty Cap Sheet on primed approved substrate. If you are looking for the 2-Ply application with the Liberty Base/Ply Sheet, please order online or contact your local Pro Desk and see if they would be able to special order this product for you. We would then recommend installing the Liberty Base sheet on the primed appropriate substrate and the Liberty Cap Sheet on top of the Base Sheet. For additional information, please call our technical services team at 877-GAF-ROOF.
