The advantage to choosing a silicone roof is the fact that it is a solution for leaking roofs and weather. This roofing system is a great option to consider for flat-topped commercial buildings, because it is strong and durable and can protect against problems that can arise from ponding water. Flat roofs often gather moisture, and if the roof is not protected then the standing water can cause permanent damage such as peeling or bubbling where the water is puddling.

 

Elastomeric Roof Coatings

These roof coatings are waterproof and offer UV protection for the roof. Elastomeric roof coatings come as a liquid coating and can be applied to almost all roof surfaces. Elastomeric roof coatings help reduce heat damage by 90% and reducing the cost of energy by 50%. The fact that it is waterproof makes this roof coating preferred by owners of commercial buildings. It can also expand and shrink as the weather changes. This amount of flexibility in elastomeric roof coating shows the roof is not damaged by applying it.

When You Should Get a Roof Coating

Roof coatings do not necessarily need to be applied at certain times of the year. Some do require temperatures that can help it dry faster but many do not rely on the temperature. When a new roof is installed, we recommend that the coating by applied quickly to extend the roof’s lifespan. If not too damaged, even old roofs can benefit from a roof coating.
