Roof Coating
What is a Roof Coating
Roof coating is like a liquid rubber (elastomer) that is sprayed or painted on a roof that will allow the roof flexibility to expand and contract during temperature shifts. It is a waterproof white coating that will reflect as much as 92% of the Sun's rays away from the building, keeping the building as much as 20 degrees cooler, saving on energy costs.
Reflective Roof Coating Advantage
The Sun's UV rays are the leading cause of decay to traditional flat or low-pitch roofs. As a tar roof ages it's surface cracks, splits, tears, and loses flexibility. However, the white reflective properties of a roof coating will greatly slow the aging process consequently extending the life of your roof to quite possibility the life of the building- provided the coating is maintained.
A roof coating should be maintained through periodic inspections and making spot repairs for damage done by mother nature, critters, and careless service people.

Weather Risks During Application
Roof coatings should not be installed on a rainy, humid and windy day because moisture will cause blistering, bubbles and thinning of the coat. The coating can dry in about 24 hours during a hot dry day.
Roof Restoration
Roof coatings can be applied over existing flat or low pitch roofs to avoid costly tear off and replacement (reduced material and labor costs). The application process is very streamed lined and fast- letting business, under the roof, to take place as usual. The coating will seal microscopic holes when applied to a clean debris free roof. Serious faults in the original roof, such as leaks, cracking, split seams and blistering should be fixed before a roof coating.
