Understanding Roof Coating: Enhancing Longevity and Protection

A roof coating serves as a liquid membrane designed to significantly prolong the service life of existing roofs. Unlike conventional paint, these coatings boast higher solid contents, ensuring robust and enduring protection. They act as a shield against environmental adversaries, such as relentless UV rays, heavy rainfall, and gusty winds. Their exceptional elasticity, fortified by high-quality resin, fortifies your roof for the long haul

Benefits of Roof Coating

  • Energy Efficiency: By reflecting sunlight and reducing heat absorption, roof coatings contribute to a more energy-efficient building, potentially lowering utility costs. 

  • Tax Deductible: Explore the potential for tax benefits associated with energy-efficient improvements. 

  • NDL Warranties: Choose from a range of warranty options-5, 10, 15, and 20-year NDL warranties-for added assurance.

  • Efficient Installation: Experience swift installation with minimal material wastage, ensuring a cost-effective solution

SAY GOODBYE TO REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

While we highly suggest getting an occasional roof checkup, the greatest benefit of shingle roofing is the lack of need for regularly scheduled maintenance. Not only that, but repairs are easy if they ever become damaged, which often do not require having to replace the entire field of the roof.

*Unified Steel™ roofs, whether installed direct-to-deck or with battens, create Above Sheathing Ventilation (ASV), offering potential energy savings compared to asphalt shingles.

*Unified Steel™ roofing panels can be installed with specific underlay for a Class A fire rating for the most severe fire-prone areas. They carry the highest Class 4 Hail rating and meet the coastal Florida region’s requirements for High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ).

Types of Roof Coatings

Silicone Roof Coatings

  • Advantages: Exceptional durability and UV resistance make silicone coatings ideal for areas with high sun exposure. They withstand weather and temperature fluctuations effectively.
  • Benefits: Excellent waterproofing properties, minimal dirt pickup, and the ability to self-adhere to various roofing substrates.
  • Applications: Suitable for flat or low-sloped roofs, including metal, single-ply membranes, and built-up roofs.

Acrylic Roof Coatings

  • Advantages: Known for their versatility, acrylic coatings are available in various formulations, offering flexibility, ease of application, and UV resistance.
  • Benefits: They provide good adhesion, are relatively inexpensive, and can be easily recoated or repaired. They offer excellent
    reflectivity, which contributes to energy efficiency.
  • Applications: Applicable to most roofing substrates, including metal, asphalt, single-ply membranes, and concrete roofs.

Polyurethane Roof Coatings

  • Advantages: Known for their versatility, acrylic coatings are available in various formulations, offering flexibility, ease of application, and UV resistance.
  • Benefits: They provide good adhesion, are relatively inexpensive, and can be easily recoated or repaired. They offer excellent
    reflectivity, which contributes to energy efficiency.
  • Applications: Applicable to most roofing substrates, including metal, asphalt, single-ply membranes, and concrete roofs.

Elastomeric Roof Coatings

  • Advantages: Known for their elasticity, which allows them to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or peeling.
  • Benefits: Excellent waterproofing capabilities, durability, and UV resistance. They maintain flexibility over time, offering long-term protection.
  • Applications: Suitable for a wide range of roofing materials, including concrete, metal, modified bitumen, and single-ply membranes.

Asphalt Roof Coatings

  • Advantages: Provides excellent waterproofing and protection against UV radiation. It’s known for its durability and ability to withstand extreme weather conditions.
  • Benefits: Offers good adhesion to various substrates, along with cost-effectiveness.
  • Applications: Commonly used for built-up roofs (BUR), and other asphalt-based roofing materials

Each type of coating has its own unique set of advantages and applications. Understanding these distinctions helps in selecting the most suitable coating for a specific roofing system, considering factors such as climate, substrate type, and desired longevity.
