Roof coatings will protect and extend the lifespan of a commercial roofing system. Coatings are applied directly over existing roof coverings; metal, single ply membranes, BUR, modified bitumen and spray polyurethane foam.

Roof Coatings are seamless membranes applied across the roofing system, around any protruding elements such as pipes, vents, HVAC and other equipment. This enables a fully sealed and waterproofed roofing system. When sprayed, the coating melts together around those hard to seal and reach areas.

BETTER PROTECTION FROM PESKY ROOF LEAKS

Because these roof coatings are seamless, silicone or acrylic coatings make for better protections from leaks and add up to 10 years to a commercial roof’s lifespan. Roof Coatings better protect a roof from the elements, such as hail, UV rays and other extreme weather events.

Why Cool White Roof Coatings Benefit Your Commercial Roof

10 Benefits of White Roof Coatings or Cool Roofs

With warmer weather approaching, now is the time to have your commercial roof inspected and to consider applying a white silicone or acrylic coating to create a cool roof. Not only will this save you money on utility bills, it will extend the life span of your roof.

White roof coatings have many benefits. For one, a cool roof absorbs less of the sunrays and works as a reflective surface. Over sixty percent of the sun’s rays are reflected back into the atmosphere.

What is a Cool Roof?

A cool roof typically denotes a roofing product that has a high solar reflectance, which has the ability to reflect infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths of the sun. A cool roof can lower cooling costs of a building as much as twenty percent.

Tropical locations, such as Santorini, stand out with the entire coastal view of white roofs. Groupings of white roofs lessen the burden on the electrical grid and keep their region cooler than if they used traditional black or tar roofs.

Because reflective roofs stay cooler in the sun, they lessen the amount of heat flow to the region and the atmosphere.

When the sun beats down on a black membrane or gravel roof, the heat absorption taxes your roofing system and shortens its lifespan. So if you are considering upgrading your commercial roof to a cool roofing system, check out the many benefits below.

A Rubber or Asphalt Roof Restoration is a three-coat process

Before a roof is coated, a thorough pressure washing of the entire surface of the roof to remove all contaminants is required in order to allow for the best coating adhesion. Then any weak areas need repaired and all seams need to be reinforced. This includes vents, flashing, any mechanical equipment or access panels.

3 Coat Process for Asphalt or Rubber Roofs:

  1. Cover the entire roof with a gray base coating
  2. Apply the first cool white coating over the gray base coating
  3. Completing the process by applying the third and final cool white coating creating a seamless membrane over the entire roof surface

A Metal Roof Restoration is a two-coat process:

Before a roof is coated, a thorough check of every fastener for tightness is required. Then a full pressure washing the roof to remove all contaminants and allow for the best coating adhesion is needed. Finally, weak areas are repaired, plus any rust  is removed and primed.

2 Coat Process for Metal Roofs:
