What Are Commercial Roof Coatings?
Roof coatings are ideal for virtually any type of existing roof, including asphalt, metal roofs, rubber roofs, built-up roofs, and more. The most popular commercial coating materials are silicone and acrylic, although we sometimes use aluminum or polyurethane.
With our commercial flat-roof coatings, you can eliminate the labor costs and waste from replacing your old roof. Once you coat your roof, it will have stronger UV resistance, which means increased climate control and energy efficiency. The natural tensile strength of roof coatings makes them durable yet flexible, which is why they’re ideal for commercial roofs.
What Are the Different Types of Commercial Flat-Roof Coatings?
Let’s look at some of the most common types of coatings in the commercial roofing industry, including:
Elastomeric Roof Coatings
Elastomeric roof coatings can stretch to twice their original length and then recover to their initial dimensions, making them an excellent choice for commercial roofing systems. In addition to being affordable, they also can make your existing roof waterproof and much cooler, providing greater energy efficiency. The most common elastomeric roof coatings are acrylic, silicone, and urethane.
Acrylic Roof Coatings
A popular choice for commercial roof coatings is acrylic. Initially, manufacturers designed this coating to increase UV protection for spray urethane foam roofs. Now, we frequently apply it to metal roofs, single-ply rubber membranes, and more. The acrylic provides superior resistance to UV rays and hail, both of which can significantly impact a roof’s overall longevity.
Spray Polyurethane Coatings
If your commercial roofing system takes a lot of foot traffic throughout the year, then a spray polyurethane roof coating could be an excellent choice. During installation, we’ll apply two coats: aromatic and aliphatic. The base layer, aromatic, is highly durable but doesn’t have natural UV resistance.
The top coating, aliphatic, is much more stable and can resist UV rays with greater strength.
Silicone Coatings
For over a decade, silicone roof coatings have been steadily rising in popularity due to their natural elasticity, ability to handle long-term exposure to standing water, and excellent UV resistance. During installation, the nature of the silicone allows it to adhere securely to the existing roof, providing water resistance and an impenetrable coating that will protect your roof and extend its lifespan.
