MAINTENANCE & COATINGS

Elastomeric also known as Acrylic Coatings, are water-based products that work great for high UV environments.These coatings generally come in white

Pros: 

• Reflect UV Rays
• Help prevent shedding of granules 
• Prolong the life of the roof
• Cool the building down 

Cons: 

• Not waterproof
• They will not stop leaks
• They don’t hold up well under ponding water
• Wear out and need to be recoated every 5-10 years

As implied by the name, silicone coatings are silicone-based and not water-based. They generally come in white and can be tinted slightly. One of the key advantages of silicone roof coating is its ability to reflect the sun's rays, which can significantly reduce the amount of heat absorbed by your roof. This can lead to lower cooling costs during the summer months and improved energy efficiency overall. Additionally, silicone roof coating is highly resistant to water, wind, and other elements, making it an ideal choice for protecting your roof against the effects of weathering.

Another benefit of silicone roof coating is its ability to extend the life of your roof.

Pros: 

• Waterproof product
• Holds well under ponding water
• Does not wear out or deteriorate 
• Extra protection
• Lasts longer than acrylic coatings

Cons: 

• Long installation time
• Cracking excluded from warranty
• Substantially more expensive than acrylic
• Future adhesion is a concern (nothing really sticks to silicone)
• Dirt tends to stick
• Sometimes bubbles occur

Aluminum coating is an excellent option when a building has no A/C cooling load such as warehouses. It also provides an excellent UV and weather barrier for the roof membrane. This adds extra years to the life and performance of the membrane. Plus, it is easily re-coated, adding even more life to the membrane.
