Building Overview
• Amarillo Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery provides solutions to a wide variety of
problems related to the mouth, teeth, and facial region. The new office offers
state-of-the-art diagnostic and imaging equipment.
Challenge
• Install a clean, reflective roof that fits the architecture of the building and top it
off with the “AOMS” logo for air traffic to see from above.
Materials Used
• TOPCOAT® TPO Red Primer
• TOPCOAT® Membrane
• EverGuard® TPO 60 mil
• EverGuard® 1121 Bonding Adhesive
• EnergyGuard™ Polyiso Insulation
• Polyiso Cover Board
Solution
• The building was designed by Playa Design Studio and utilized a contemporary
architecture along with exterior lighting to attract attention. The owner also
frequently flies over the area in his plane, so he requested “AOMS” to be painted
on the roof. Dr. Graves is a patriotic individual who enjoys art as well. He was
able to showcase his new building with the use of special effects lighting
packages and rooftop graphics.
• For the “AOMS” logo, TOPCOAT® TPO Red Primer was used to ensure good
adhesion over the new TPO and TOPCOAT® Membrane in blue was used to
create the logo.
• The TPO system consisted of GAF EverGuard® TPO 60 mil fully adhered using
EverGuard® 1121 Bonding Adhesive over mechanically attached EnergyGuard™
ISO and polyiso cover board.
• “The TPO roof system worked especially well for this project because there are
options for creating the rooftop graphics. On this particular project, we simply
utilized TOPCOAT® Membrane to create an ‘AOMS’ stencil on the rooftop. There
are also discussions of creating a Texas Flag graphic on the rooftop as well,” said
Ryan Kuxhausen, project manager at Tecta America.
Key Fact
• Using special effects lighting, the AOMS building can change color depending on
the occasion. During March Madness, Dr. Graves lit up the building in blue to
support his team, the Kentucky Wildcats.
