Sullivan County International Airport
A “forever roof” that doesn’t throw glare
Airports have a special problem: sun glare.
A shiny metal roof near a runway can kick light back at pilots during approach. That’s why this project used ROOFINOX PEARL 304—a surface made to diffuse light instead of reflecting it like a mirror.
Quick project numbers
Sullivan County International Airport (KMSV) has a main runway that’s 6,298 ft x 150 ft.
New York State announced the airport modernization was completed as a $24 million project and included a 15,000 SF new terminal.
Why ROOFINOX PEARL 304 was a smart pick
1) Light-diffusing (low gloss)
PEARL is a bead-blasted texture. ROOFINOX describes it as super matte / lowest gloss level, which is exactly what you want when glare matters.
2) Built for the long haul
ROOFINOX backs HFX stainless with a 60-year material warranty—the kind of ownership mindset airports like.
Bottom line
This is what “forever roof” thinking looks like:
long warranty + a surface that spreads light out instead of flashing it back.
