Roof Coatings
A roof coating is a monolithic, fully adhered, fluid applied roofing membrane. It has elastic properties that allows it stretch and return to original shape without damage. A roof coating is topmost layer of protection for membrane, receiving the impact of sunlight (both infrared and ultraviolet (UV), rain, hail and physical damage. Roof coating can be applied by brush, roller or spray.
Sixty percent of roofs in United States are replaced prematurely because of leaks.
- Roof Coatings will help prevent roof leaks, while extending the life your roof. Most coating manufacturers offer 5 or 10 year system warranties on coating Installations.
Roof coatings are popular alternative because it more cost effective than retrofit. Additionally, compared to retrofit which essentially adds another layer of roofing material, Roof coatings create chemical bond to current roofing substrate essentially ‘bulking up’ the existing system.
Field-applied reflective roof coatings can extend the useful life of nearly every roof substrate by keeping a roof surface cool and providing a level of protection from the sun and weather. Field studies have shown that cool roof coatings can lower rooftop temperatures and reduce air conditioning bills.
Americans spend about $40 billion annually to air condition buildings – sixth of electricity generated in country. Coatings reflect 85-90% of heat and ultraviolet rays from sun-reducing your air conditioning cost by 20-30%.
