Installers save time by using Stormseal. Tarp installation time includes the time taken to procure supplies of tarps, sandbags and ropes for each job, as contractors generally don’t carry these on their trucks. Frequently, the first tarp purchased is the wrong size, which means a return trip to the hardware store.

Meanwhile, with a roll of film and complete toolbox already on their truck, the Stormseal installer has cut the film on-site to fit the job, and commenced attachment. One roll of Stormseal holds 1500 sq ft, or enough film for 10 average dry-in jobs. This equates to about two days’ work without stopping for further supplies.

When repeat visits to replace failed tarps are added to the account, it’s clear that as Stormseal resists all weather and stays put until permanent repairs can be made, it saves contractors vast amounts of time and cuts insurers’ costs dramatically.

We prioritize the safety of workers, residents and properties and discourage practices that increase risks and escalate costs. We’re proud of Stormseal’s excellent reputation and intend to maintain it. To ensure safety and quality, accountability is key. Our solution is a complete system of accredited installer training, specialist equipment, controlled ordering and performance tracking, so our quality assurance processes cover everything from manufacture to installation.

Only accredited installers can order Stormseal film and a toolkit containing everything needed for correct installation. Instead of relying on ropes, sandbags and “Hail Mary’s” to hold a tarp in place (and when that fails, returning repeatedly to replace the tarp), Stormseal installers do the job once and do it right.

At Stormseal, poor performance means loss of accreditation for the installer. By contrast, in Australia, when a tarp (almost inevitably) performs poorly and requires replacement, the installer is rewarded with an additional dry-in fee from the insurer. Insurers pass these additional costs on to policyholders as higher premiums. Premiums also rise as claims escalate due to additional property damage caused by flapping, leaking tarps.

Storm victims who suffer under tarps and customers hit with higher premiums are likely to seek a better alternative, i.e. an insurer who uses Stormseal to provide a superior customer experience and keep costs down. Our insistence on safety and cost-effective high quality is positively transforming the insurance repairs industry

Our installers mechanically fix all edges of the Stormseal film securely, often to the eaves of the structure. The risk of secondary damage on removal of the film is low, and if it occurs, the cost of replacing fascia boards or some roof tiles is negligible compared to the massive cost of internal damage to properties caused by flapping, leaking, flyaway tarps.

Property damage is also caused by the sandbags and ropes used with tarps. Ropes are often tied to any available attachment point including gutter brackets, down-pipes, gas/water lines and fences. Under the load of wind or pooling rainwater on the tarp, the ropes’ attachment points are frequently damaged. Sandbags break down within six weeks of weather exposure and the sand escapes, filling gutters and valleys to create barriers that force water back into the roof cavity, causing more internal damage.

Stormseal minimizes harm. Tarps, ropes and sandbags frequently cause damage claims to multiply manifold. The superior choice is obvious.

No. We hold inventory and dispatch Stormseal film from our stock when an accredited installer places an order online through our customer portal. We have capacity to scale up film production to meet high demand following a severe weather event.

Yes, Stormseal can cover a full roof if damage is total. However, the product is more often used to cover partial roof damage, e.g. tree impact on one side, or fire damage contained to one area.

Yes, Stormseal can be used to cover partial roof damage, e.g. a damaged roof vents, a section of broken tiles, or over skylights.

IAG has conducted hail testing on the product, please see the video at: https://youtu.be/rKiFqvavj-Y

Wind tunnel testing has been conducted by CSR and by the HAAG wind tunnel test facility located in Dallas TX. See CSR wind video at: https://youtu.be/0X7w-kF_zXk

Yes, the product can be used for walls, windows, ceilings, garage doors, asbestos removal.

Stormseal film is recyclable; it is not biodegradable. Stormseal film can be repurposed – unlike damaged tarps which generally go to landfill.

Stormseal requires mechanical fixings to ensure the film fits snugly to your home or business. So instead of ropes or sandbags Stormseal is fixed at the perimeter like the fascia, barge boards or eaves.

Yes, Stormseal film is warranted for one year from the time of purchase. The installation guarantee depends on the individual Accredited Installer’s terms and conditions.

Yes, Stormseal film can be produced in many colours. Branding / logos can be printed on the film –minimum volumes apply.

Yes. An access area can be cut out of the film and then resealed. In every installation there’s a checklist sticker applied to the film. The checklist indicates claim number and installer number so you can track it down.

Yes. Accredited Stormseal installers are trained to complete a roof report before installing the film. If further assessment is required, contractors often cut inspection panels, in which case an accredited installer must remove and replace the Stormseal film. In every installation there’s a checklist sticker applied to the film. The checklist indicates claim number and installer number Similarly, insurers pay for tarps to be removed for roof inspections and replaced.
