What is a roof coating system?

A roof coating system is a protective layer applied directly to the existing roof surface. It consists of various coatings, such as acrylic, silicone, or polyurethane, designed to enhance the roof's performance and extend its lifespan. Roof coatings act as a waterproof barrier, reflecting sunlight, and protecting the roof from weathering, UV radiation, and other environmental factors.

What are the benefits of roof coating systems for commercial roofs?

Roof coating systems offer several advantages for commercial buildings. They provide excellent waterproofing, preventing leaks and water damage. Roof coatings also reflect sunlight, reducing heat absorption and lowering cooling costs during hot weather. Additionally, roof coating systems can extend the life of the existing roof, postpone the need for roof replacement, and contribute to energy efficiency and sustainability goals.

Can roof coating systems be applied to any type of commercial roof?

Roof coating systems are versatile and can be applied to various commercial roofing materials, including metal, single-ply membranes (TPO, PVC, EPDM), built-up roofs (BUR), and modified bitumen. However, before applying a roof coating, a thorough inspection by roofing professionals is essential to ensure that the existing roof is suitable for coating and to address any underlying issues.

How long does a roof coating system typically last?

The longevity of a roof coating system depends on several factors, including the type of coating used, the quality of application, and the roof's exposure to environmental elements. On average, a well-maintained roof coating system can last between 10 to 15 years or longer. Regular maintenance and periodic re-coating can extend the lifespan of the roof coating system.

What is the recommended overlap for metal roofing panels?

Cool roof coatings can benefit a building and its occupants by: Decreasing air conditioning needs by cooling interiors. Reducing electricity bills by lowering air conditioning requirements. Decreasing roof temperature, which may potentially extend your roof's service life.

Can a roof coating system help with roof repairs and maintenance?

Yes, roof coating systems can be an effective solution for roof repairs and maintenance. They can seal small cracks, protect against water infiltration, and reinforce aging roofing materials. By preventing further damage and deterioration, roof coating systems can significantly extend the life of the existing roof and help avoid more extensive and costly repairs down the road. Always consult with experienced roofing professionals to assess your commercial roof's specific needs and determine if a roof coating system is the right solution for your building. A reputable roofing contractor, like Starkweather Roofing, can provide expert guidance and ensure a successful roof coating installation for optimal performance and longevity.

Every roof is unique. Whether you have an aging metal roof, rubber roof or asphalt-based roofing system, let the professionals at Starkweather Roofing design an elastomeric roof coating system that is right for your roof.

What Is a Commercial Roof Coating System?

As a commercial property owner or manager, when you face roofing problems, you may initially consider two options: repairs or replacement. However, your existing structure may benefit from restoration using a commercial roof coating system instead. These are made of synthetics and polymers, and once applied to the existing roof, they create an adhesive, seamless surface that fills cracks, holes, and other minor imperfections.

Types Of Roof Coatings

Acrylic

An acrylic roof coating is a water-based solution that works well with most single-ply roof systems (TPO and EPDM) and metal. Acrylic is a fluid-applied, rubber-like membrane. Acrylic looks like house paint and has the same consistency. However, it’s applied between 15 to 30 mils thick, which is 5 to 10 times thicker than house paint.

Acrylic coatings are typically white, which boosts their UV protection. These commercial roof coating systems offer incredible reflectivity and can reduce the roof’s temperature by at least 20 degrees Fahrenheit when sitting in direct sunlight, so it’s perfect for hot and humid regions. Additionally, acrylic roof coatings are radiation and hail-resistant, thanks to their excellent flexibility.
Silicone

100% silicone roof coatings are the perfect option for extreme moisture resistance. Since they’re incredibly adhesive, they provide the ultimate insulation. Silicone commercial roof coatings are also less prone to leaks, even when they’re covered in areas of ponding water. Therefore, property owners in rainy regions benefit from silicone roof coatings the most.

Silicone also contributes to your building’s energy efficiency since it’s available in many light, reflective colors. However, it does require regularly scheduled, light power washing to work correctly and offer a long service life. Otherwise, it can lose some reflectivity because of dirt and debris buildup.
Polyurethane

Polyurethane commercial roof coating systems were originally made for application over foam roofs. Professionals have found that polyurethane works well with many single-ply or flat roofing structures. Polyurethane roof coatings provide excellent impact resistance and withstand foot traffic quite well.

Since polyurethane coatings have the lowest UV resistance, they’re ideal for regions with minimal UV exposure. Additionally, aliphatic topcoats are great add-ons to boost polyurethane’s reflectivity and hold its color longer

The Benefits of Commercial Roof Coatings

A roof coating is the perfect alternative to costly, recurring repairs or an expensive, time-consuming replacement. In addition to restoring the existing roof structure, a commercial roof coating system shields the membrane from harmful UV rays, excessive rain, and hail, extending the life of your roof by 10 to 15 years.

Suppose your flat roof has major issues, such as large holes or openings in various areas, several leaks, and an overly saturated underlayment. In that case, it’s safer and wiser to get a roof replacement. However, if your existing structure has a few minor issues, like surface-level cracks or scratches, it likely qualifies for a commercial roof coating system, which is:

Environmentally Friendly

Commercial roof coating systems eliminate the need for roof tear-offs. As mentioned before, coatings are sprayed directly onto roofs, making them very effective for most flat roofing structures. Even if your current system is in good shape and you just want to add more protection, roof coatings are compatible with the most common roofing materials, including TPO, EPDM, Metal, Modified bitumen, and BUR.

Cost Effective

Roof tear-offs are an additional cost for roof replacement projects. But with a commercial roof coating system, there’s no tear-off necessary, so you don’t have to worry about that added cost. Materials needed for a fluid-applied roofing system are less expensive, as well.

UV Resistant

Commercial roof coating systems also reflect more sunlight than they absorb. The roof’s surface stays much cooler in the summer despite the sun constantly beating down on the building. When the roof is cooler, indoor temperatures are more comfortable and stable. As a result, business owners can expect lower utility bills since the thermostat stays at a reasonable setting every day instead of being cranked to the max.

Protects Against Roof Leaks

Adding a coating to the roof will give an extra layer to the roof and can protect it from leaks. Not only does the coating add to the roof itself, but it can also help prevent the roof from mold and mildew damage—that can lead to leaks.

Extends The Life Of Your Roof

Roof coatings can add life to a roof. Extra life may mean that you can wait years longer before replacing the roof and potentially prevent roofing material from winding up in the landfill.

Increases Energy Star Rating

The Energy Star rating of a building is not static. It can change, as the structure changes. Adding a roof coating is one of the simplest ways to make a building more energy efficient and perhaps increase the Energy Star rating. Boosting the rating can be necessary for resale value or for helping it achieve a number required by local requirements.
