ROOF COATINGS
Roof coatings are seamless, fluid-applied membranes that adhere fully to your roof. They’re often elastomeric, meaning they can stretch and return to their original shape without damage, providing excellent protection for your roof.
Types of Roof Coatings
Solvent-Based
(Silicones, Urethanes)
These coatings last longer but are more expensive and require careful application. They’re ideal for long-term durability.
Water-Based
These emit fewer odors and are often used in sensitive environments like hospitals. They’re more affordable but may not last as long.
Urethane Roof Coatings
Typically solvent-based, urethanes are known for high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion. They emit odors during application and are more costly but are highly durable.
Asphalt Roof Coatings
Available in both water and solvent-based forms, these coatings add protection and can reflect heat, making them suitable for cooler regions.
Acrylic Roof Coatings
These are water-based and known for being reflective and cost-effective. However, they’re not suitable for cold weather application as they can run before drying.
Silicone Roof Coatings
Offered in both solvent and non-solvent versions, silicone coatings are durable and perform well in cold weather. They’re ideal for roofs that don’t experience heavy foot traffic.
