Roof Restoration Offers an Affordable Alternative to Roof Replacement

Roof restoration experts can prolong the life of your roof by a decade or more at a fraction of cost to rip it off and roof replacement. Compared to the price of a full roof tear-off and replacement, roof restoration typically costs about half as much.

roof restoration increases a commercial roofing system's life expectancyWhat is the Life Expectancy of a Commercial Roof?

The life expectancy of most commercial roofs can be lessened by leakage or other issues. The lifespan of a commercial roof depends on the type of material and can last anywhere between 10 to 30 years. Different roof types have different life expectancies. One thing for sure, any style roof will need work one day.

Business owners dread when their commercial roofing system is reaching its life expectancy. It’s even worse when experiencing leaking or other problems well before the date. They fear it means paying for a costly roof replacement.

Roofing Technology Has Evolved to Offer Longevity for Your Roofing System

Roof Restoration experts use the latest roofing technology along with the best-engineered roof coating materials to restore your roof to better condition than when it was new.  They apply acrylic or silicone coatings that provide durable and flexible membranes that resist UV deterioration and bond directly to existing surfaces.

Make Roof Restoration Your New Year’s Resolution!

There are many benefits to restoring your roof versus a full tear off and replace. For one, reflective roof coatings render your roofing system more sustainable by reducing the urban heat island effects and eliminate the need to cart off the old roofing material to a landfill.

Restoring Your Roof is Sustainable!

Another sustainability benefit to roof coatings is the lowering of energy bills and lengthening the life of your rooftop equipment due to heat reduction because of the reflectiveness of the materials used. A roof with cool white coatings will typically top out around 100 degrees versus exceeding 160 degrees from a roof with a dark roof coating.

The Many Benefits of Roof Restoration

A roof restoration is less noisy and disruptive of your business, eliminating costly downtime that a roof replacement can cause. Business owners need to learn just how beneficial a cool roofing system can be. If you want to learn more, contact the experts at Restore It Commercial Roofing in Delaware.

Silicone Vs Acrylic Roof Coatings: Which is Right for My Roof?

Silicone Vs Acrylic Roof Coatings: Which is Right for My Roof?

Commercial roof coatings are a perfect solution for those property managers that are looking for a simple solution for a leaking or aging roof. Silicone and acrylic roof coatings are both popular options that can solve your leak problems and prolong a roof’s lifespan.

However, it depends on the roofing system, conditions and current temperatures as to which option best suits your commercial roofing restore needs. Knowing the benefits, drawbacks and limitations of silicone and acrylic coatings can help you to make a more informed decision.

BENEFITS OF SILICONE ROOF COATINGS

Silicone roof coatings are extremely UV stable and reflect up to ninety percent of the sun’s harmful rays. This greatly reduces the cooling load, lowers utility bills and increases indoor comfort.

They are also very flexible and durable due to the high concentrate of solids. This composition of high solid requires less material and allows for a single application, saving time and labor.

They can withstand extreme temperatures, downpours and oxidation. Silicone coatings are better at protecting structures from ponding water than acrylic coatings.

DRAWBACKS OF SILICONE COATINGS

While silicone is an excellent choice, they tend to attract dirt and dust which requires routine maintenance to avoid the coating from losing its reflective benefits. Silicone coatings are also slippery when wet, requiring a ‘Walk Pad’ installed in highly trafficked areas.

BENEFITS OF ACRYLIC ROOF COATINGS

Acrylic roof coatings are an excellent choice for many types of substrates; modified bitumen, metal, built up, single-ply and spray polyurethane foam.

These acrylic roof coatings are very cost effective, have a high UV resistance and reflectiveness. In addition, acrylic is easily applied via spraying or rolling onto the existing substrate of the roof.

DRAWBACKS OF ACRYLIC ROOF COATINGS

While acrylic coatings have many enduring benefits, there are a few limitations. Because acrylic coatings are water-based, they coating can become brittle and delaminate from the roof when exposed to ponding water on a roof for long periods.

In addition, cold temperatures slow down the drying time and make it hard for the coating to adhere to the roof. Acrylic coatings cannot be applied when temperatures drop below fifty degrees.

So there you have it. Both Silicone and Acrylic roof coatings are very viable options. However, determining which to us depends on your particular commercial roofing restoration needs. Those of us at Restore It Commercial Roofing can help you decide the best solution for your commercial roof.
