Advanced formulations in different types of roofing systems can now provide a full range of protection from leaks, provide a flexible coating for the roof’s surface, and even assist in extending the life of older roofs without having to complete a full roof-tear off.
Not only does the choice of a fluid applied roof coating save on costs, but it also prevents downtime for the business that is required with a roof tear-off. The coating can be applied directly to the old roof once any required repairs are made, which means the facility can be open and productive during the entire process.
An Answer to Leaks and Deterioration
A quality fluid applied roof coating can be applied directly to the decking, and different types of roof coatings are recommended for various substrates. There are even types of coatings that can be applied directly to an existing membrane, sealing up any existing leaks and preventing future leaks as older membranes deteriorate.
Easy Application
The choice of a fluid applied roof coating is ideal for flat or shaped roofs, and it can be used to coat and seal all fixtures on the roof as needed. This not only provides a complete and uniform protective layer, but it creates a finished look to the roof as well.
There are different colors in roof coatings. Most commercial building owners choose a reflective material, which helps to reduce heat buildup on the roof, which lowers the cost of cooling the building and also helps to prevent roof damage over time.
In most cases, there are several steps involved in the process. The roofing contractor should be fully approved for the installation of the specific roofing system to ensure the warranty on the product is not an issue. Using a roofing contractor or service that is not approved by the manufacturer to install the roof coating will void the warranty.
