GCP Applied Technologies has donated roofing and flooring products to Habitat for Humanity to support the repair, rebuilding and new construction of homes for families impacted by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
“The hurricanes of 2017 have caused unprecedented devastation, forcing thousands of people out of their damaged homes,” said Craig Merrill, GCP’s Vice President, Global Marketing. “We are pleased to assist Habitat for Humanity in its long-term hurricane recovery initiative, providing needed roofing underlayments and flooring tools to repair and rebuild homes in Florida and Texas. Our eyes are on Puerto Rico as Habitat continues to assess the situation there and determine construction plans.”
Habitat has set an initial goal to help more than 6,000 families across regions impacted by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria with home repairs and new construction. In Florida, Hurricane Irma’s high winds caused extensive roof damage, especially in South Florida and Florida Keys. To assist, GCP has donated its premium product, GRACE ICE & WATER SHIELD self-adhered roofing underlayment, and its TRI-FLEX XT synthetic roofing underlayment to rebuild and help protect from future damage.
