Our Elastomeric Roof Coating Installation Process
We focus on making sure the roof is ready before applying the coating. Our team carefully cleans the surface and uses proper methods to apply the coating evenly. Finally, we check the roof to confirm the coating has set correctly and will protect the building.
Inspection & Roof Assessment
We start by examining the roof thoroughly to find any damage or weak spots. This includes looking for cracks, pooling water, and worn materials. Understanding these issues helps us decide if repairs are needed before the coating.
Our team measures the roof area to calculate how much coating will be required. We also check the roof’s slope and drainage systems to identify any risks that could affect the coating’s performance. This step helps us plan the work accurately.
Surface Preparation & Cleaning
Before applying the coating, we clean the roof surface carefully. We remove dirt, debris, algae, and loose material using power washing or hand tools. This cleaning ensures the coating sticks well and lasts longer.
If there is any damage, we repair it first, such as sealing cracks or fixing flashing. We dry the surface completely, as moisture can prevent proper adhesion. A clean and dry roof is key to a strong, uniform coating.
Application
We apply the elastomeric coating using brushes, rollers, or spray systems depending on the roof type and size. We spread the coating evenly to avoid thin spots that could fail later.
The coating is applied in layers. Each layer is allowed to dry before adding the next. This builds a thicker, more flexible barrier against weather and UV rays. We pay close attention to seams and edges to ensure full coverage.
Curing & Final Inspection
After the coating is applied, we let it cure fully, which usually takes several hours to a day depending on the weather. Proper curing is essential for the coating to bond and perform well.
Once cured, we inspect the roof again. We check for missed spots, bubbles, or cracks in the coating. Any issues are fixed immediately. We also make sure the coating looks even and smooth before completing the job.
Types of Elastomeric Roof Coatings Available
We offer different types of elastomeric roof coatings. Each type has distinct features, including how well it handles weather, protects the roof, and lasts over time. Understanding these helps us choose the right option for your building.
Acrylic Coatings
Acrylic coatings are water-based and cost-effective. They reflect sunlight well, which helps keep the roof cooler and reduces energy costs. These coatings dry quickly and resist dirt, making maintenance easier. However, they do not handle ponding water well and might need additional layers in heavy rain areas.
Acrylic coatings work best on roofs with good drainage. They also resist UV rays and cracking, which makes them a popular choice for many flat roofs.
Silicone Coatings
Silicone coatings are highly waterproof and resist ponding water better than acrylics. They remain flexible even in cold weather, helping prevent cracks and leaks. These coatings offer strong resistance to UV damage and mold growth. They stick well to many roof types but can be more expensive than acrylic coatings.
Silicone holds up well under harsh weather, but it can attract dirt, which could affect its reflectivity over time. Cleaning is needed to maintain its look and effectiveness.
Polyurethane Coatings
Polyurethane coatings provide strong impact and abrasion resistance. They are very durable and protect roofs from foot traffic and heavy weather. This type handles ponding water fairly well and offers good flexibility. However, it can be sensitive to UV exposure unless it has a protective topcoat.
Polyurethane coatings are ideal for roofs exposed to mechanical wear or areas needing extra toughness. They usually cost more but can extend roof life significantly.
Commercial Roof Types Supported
We work with several common commercial roof types, each needing specific care and materials for elastomeric coating. Understanding these differences helps us apply the right solution for lasting protection.
Flat Roof
Flat roofs are common in commercial buildings and often use materials like TPO, EPDM, or built-up roofing. These roofs have low slopes, so water drainage is slow. Elastomeric coatings provide a flexible, waterproof layer that seals cracks and prevents leaks.
We apply coatings that withstand ponding water and UV rays. This helps reduce damage from weather and extends the roof’s life. Because flat roofs handle foot traffic and equipment, the coating must be durable and elastic.
Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen roofs use asphalt combined with modifiers like APP or SBS. They are usually installed with hot tar or adhesives. These roofs are strong but can crack or blister as they age.
Our elastomeric roof coatings seal these cracks and restore flexibility. This prevents further water damage and helps keep the roof sticky and sealed. The coating also reflects sunlight, which lowers roof temperature and energy costs.
Metal Roof
Metal roofs are durable but prone to rust and heat buildup. Our elastomeric coating helps by creating a protective barrier against moisture and corrosion.
We use coatings compatible with metal surfaces that expand and contract without peeling. The coating also adds a reflective layer that reduces heat absorption. This improves the building’s energy efficiency and protects the metal from weather damage.
