All You Need to Know About Roof Coating for Commercial Roofs
Jun 22, 2018Roof coatings are a fairly new addition to the roofing industry. Regardless of the type of commercial roof you have, roof coating systems provide a proven solution for renewing your weathered roof. You can apply roof coatings to any existing commercial building to make a seamless membrane which protects the roof from ponding and severe weather.
Benefits of Roof Coating
Increases Longevity
This is perhaps the most important benefit of a roof coating system; it increases the longevity of your roof by several years. It also helps to protect the surface of your roof from weather damage and severe UV rays.
Cost Effective
A roof coating will be applied directly on top of your existing roof thereby speeding up the time needed to install and also reducing your cost. You should consider roof coatings especially if your commercial building is suffering from roofing problems but you don’t have the budget to do a replacement. The roof coat will protect the failing roof system from experiencing further damage. Exposure to the elements such as water and sunlight will add extra strain to an already failing roofing system. Adding a roof coating protects your investment and gives you breathing space before you can afford a new roof. After installing a new roof, ensure you add the roof coating immediately.
Energy Efficiency
Heating and cooling costs for a commercial building is usually very high. Roof coating can help lower your energy bills. This is because the coatings are highly reflective which results in a cooler environment inside your building meaning your conditioner is working less than it would normally be required to. This, in turn, lowers your energy utility costs.
Environmentally Friendly
Restoring your already existing roof and re-using current materials will reduce environmental waste. Many coating options are ultra-low or zero Volatile organic compounds(VOCs) thereby reducing the pollution on the environment.
Sustainable
Roof coating systems are renewable and may be re-coated once every 10 years or so. This lengthens the roof’s life, renews its reflectivity and improves the waterproofing capabilities.
Pick an Experienced Contractor
As we have seen, roof coatings are a great product that can be used in nearly all situations. There is, however, one drawback in installing a roof coating system, finding the right company to do the job. Heavy cleaning and clearing are required as preparation for the job. If proper preparation is not done, the roof coating is likely to fail. You need to be careful when choosing the right company for your roof coating project. Make sure you select a roofing contractor with expertise and experience to ensure a professional and quality job is done on your commercial roof.
