Liquid applied roof coatings, such as elastomeric roof coating and sealants, are among the most popular solutions in the modern roof restoration industry. They are an effective and efficient way to restore and protect a wide variety of flat and commercial roof types including metal, modified bitumen, single-ply, EPDM, TPO, concrete roof decks, and spray polyurethane foam.
In a word, YES!
In addition to being far less expensive than a roof replacement, Elastomeric roof coatings stop leaks and provide effective leak protection for many years.
The best benefit of roof coating is its resistance to ponding water. Silicone coatings can endure the damaging effects of ponding water without breaking down because they’re a moisture-cure substance, meaning they will not absorb any additional water after curing.
Elastomeric single-component, solvent-borne, moisture-cure, silicone roof coatings provide roof surfaces with a weather-resistant, highly reflective, and rubber-like membrane capable of withstanding ponding water on flat roofs, and provide unsurpassed protection.
Unlike other types of roof restoration products,a silicone coating won’t degrade, chalk, or crack from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.They erode much slower than other elastomeric coatings without becoming too brittle or hard.
As the name implies, our elastomeric roof coating product creates a highly flexible, monolithic, and impermeable membrane capable of withstanding high winds, oxidation, and the most extreme temperatures. They are also able to endure the natural expansion and contraction that occurs in large roof structures as well.
Another benefit to this product is UV protection. Our product can reflect up to 80-90% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. This means property owners and industry managers and can save thousands of dollars by cutting their properties’ cooling costs during the hot summer months, and reduce the HVAC system workloads.
All of the products Illinois Roofmasters use are environmentally-friendly. Our coating products are solvent-free and contain extremely low volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
