The FARR System by Western Colloid (Fluid-Applied Reinforced Roofing) is one of the most proven, sustainable roofing restoration systems available today. Designed for seamless waterproofing, this fluid-applied system builds a reinforced membrane directly over your existing roof—eliminating tear-offs, extending roof life, and delivering unmatched protection against the Texas elements.
At Shepherd Commercial Roofing, we specialize in installing and maintaining FARR Systems across Texas, providing durable protection and long-term savings for commercial property owners.
What Is the Western Colloid FARR System?
The FARR System is a multi-layer, fluid-applied roofing membrane composed of asphalt emulsion, polyester fabric reinforcement, and highly reflective acrylic or silicone coatings. It’s applied directly over most roof types, including BUR, modified bitumen, single-ply, and metal, forming a seamless and flexible barrier.
Because it’s installed cold (no flames or hot asphalt), the system is safer for both workers and building occupants, making it ideal for occupied commercial spaces.
The Western Colloid FARR System offers long-term performance, energy efficiency, and sustainability advantages that make it one of the smartest roofing investments for commercial and industrial buildings in Texas.
A fully adhered membrane means no seams, no fasteners, and no leak points. The FARR System delivers total waterproof coverage that resists standing water and thermal stress, keeping your roof performing in even the toughest North Texas weather.
This system revitalizes your existing roof and adds decades of service life. It’s renewable too. Simply recoat every 10–15 years for ongoing protection and warranty extension.
Its bright white coating reflects up to 85% of sunlight, reducing rooftop temperatures and easing HVAC load.
That translates to lower energy bills and a cooler, more comfortable building.
FARR eliminates the need for tear-offs, keeping waste out of landfills. Its low-VOC materials also help buildings qualify for LEED points and energy credits.
With minimal upkeep required, property managers appreciate how easy it is to clean, inspect, and recoat. Fewer repairs mean more predictable budgeting and less downtime.
Applied cold and odor-free, FARR installations are ideal for schools, hospitals, offices, and other occupied buildings. No noise, no flames, and no interruptions to your daily workflow.
At Shepherd Commercial Roofing, we’ve seen how the FARR System performs under real-world Texas conditions. Its ability to resist ponding water, UV exposure, and thermal movement makes it ideal for:

Schools, churches, and government buildings

The system also meets FM and UL approvals, offering peace of mind for property managers and building owners who value performance and compliance.
