Henry Roofing and Building Envelope Products
Henry makes roofing, waterproofing, air-barrier, insulation, and building-envelope products for residential and commercial projects. The company traces its history to 1933 and joined Carlisle Companies in 2021. Henry now operates as the flagship brand within Carlisle Weather Technologies.
Henry’s current corporate headquarters is at 336 Cold Stream Road in Kimberton, Pennsylvania. The company also lists offices and manufacturing or shipping locations across the United States and Canada.
Corporate History
Henry grew from its Los Angeles roots into a North American building-products supplier. Its expansion included the 1998 acquisition of Monsey Bakor and later additions in air barriers, waterproofing, roof restoration, and spray polyurethane foam.
American Securities acquired Henry in 2016. Carlisle announced its acquisition of Henry in July 2021 and completed the purchase that September. Current ownership and product information should come from Henry or Carlisle rather than older private-equity profiles.
Product Categories
Henry’s catalog contains hundreds of products. Availability varies by region and distributor. Current categories include:
- Residential roofing: Underlayments, low-slope self-adhered roofing, repair products, cements, sealants, and coatings.
- Commercial roofing: Roof membranes and accessories, modified-bitumen products, liquid-applied restoration systems, spray polyurethane foam, primers, mastics, and reinforcement fabrics.
- Air and vapor control: Sheet- and liquid-applied barriers, housewraps, flashing, primers, and transition products.
- Waterproofing: Below-grade, plaza-deck, hot-rubberized-asphalt, water-containment, and traffic-coating systems.
- Insulation and related products: Polyiso and expanded-polystyrene insulation, sealants, polyurethane products, and specialized industrial materials.
Start with Henry’s current product directory. Confirm that the product suits the substrate, climate, building use, and complete assembly. A roof coating, underlayment, waterproofing membrane, and finished roof system serve different purposes.
Approvals and Product Ratings
Some Henry products or assemblies have documentation from UL, FM Approvals, ICC Evaluation Service, Miami-Dade County, the Florida Building Commission, or the Cool Roof Rating Council. These records apply to named products, assembly numbers, manufacturing locations, jurisdictions, and installation conditions.
Ask the designer or contractor for the exact current listing that applies to the project. A company’s participation in a testing or rating program does not give every product blanket approval for fire, wind, hail, building-code, or high-velocity-hurricane-zone use.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ended the ENERGY STAR specification for roof products on June 1, 2022. Older Henry literature may show ENERGY STAR roof labels, but buyers should use current product data and Cool Roof Rating Council initial and aged values when reflectance matters.
Roof Coatings and Restoration
Henry sells acrylic, silicone, aluminum, emulsion, and other roof-restoration products. A coating does not fix every roof. The existing membrane, moisture condition, drainage, seams, flashing, adhesion, preparation, coverage rate, and manufacturer-approved system determine whether restoration makes sense.
Ask for a moisture survey and written scope before coating an existing roof. Confirm whether the proposal includes repairs, primer, reinforcement, dry-film thickness, inspections, and warranty registration.
Vegetative Roofing
Henry offers waterproofing components and warranty options for vegetative-roof assemblies. A well-designed green roof may retain stormwater and moderate roof-surface temperature, but results depend on climate, drainage, planting medium, vegetation, maintenance, and local utility or sewer rules. The complete assembly needs structural, waterproofing, root-barrier, drainage, and maintenance design.
Warranties
Henry does not use one warranty for every product. Its current warranty center lists standard product coverage, residential and light-commercial system warranties, roof-restoration warranties, and commercial waterproofing or air-barrier programs.
Terms vary by product and system. Some cover material defects only. Others may include system or labor coverage, require an authorized contractor, charge a fee, or depend on inspections and approved details. Henry lists 15-year residential moisture-control and 30-year residential building-envelope options, as well as separate roof-coating and restoration programs.
Before work starts, get the exact warranty form and confirm:
- the eligible products and required quantities;
- the warranty term and non-prorated period;
- whether labor, tear-off, leaks, or consequential damage are covered;
- installer authorization, inspection, maintenance, and registration requirements;
- transfer rules, exclusions, claim deadlines, and proof-of-purchase requirements.
