Roof coatings
Roof coatings can reduce the amount of time and money spent on the maintenance and upkeep of your roof.
The main area where roof coatings can help reduce roof maintenance and repair is the prevention of leakages. If your roof has recently been soaked by rain or pipe leaks and is suffering from wear and tear as a result of this, you can use one of our high-performance roof coatings to improve the quality and stop this type of thing from damaging your roof in the future.
Another great benefit of roof coatings is that some are reflective in nature. This means that they reflect the sun’s rays away from your home. This helps in keeping the temperatures down in the house and can dramatically reduce air conditioning bills in the summer months. Roof coatings also serve the purpose of improving roof aesthetics.
Types of roof coatings available today include:
- Polymer-modified acrylic elastomers and polyureas
- Asplalt cutbacks and emulsions
- Silicones
- SPF and high performance urethanes
Or in less technical terms you would broadly have the following break down:
- Tinted roof coatings
- White roof coatings
- Elastomeric roof coatings
- Aluminum based roof coatings
- Metal roof coating roof coatings
The type of roof coating you use, depends on the surface and type of roof you have.
White roof coatings are thick and reflective. They have a white pigment, titanium dioxide along with transparent polymeric materials such as acrylics. Elastomeric roof coatings are very versatile in nature; they remain flexible at low temperatures, are elastic, reflective and can be used on a variety of roofs. Examples include single-ply, metal, asphalt, polyurethane foam or concrete roofs.
