Roof Coatings

Many customers contact the Weather roofing experts to ask about their options when it becomes clear that their current roof is reaching the end of its reliability. They want to know if repairs are cost-effective or if a replacement is the best investment. However, many are unaware of the third option, which is the application of a roof coating. The staff at Weather is ready to provide you with a complete assessment of the condition of your commercial roof and help you understand if a roof coating can add years to the service of the current roof.
What Are Roof Coatings
Roof coatings are resins applied to create a new monolithic layer of protection to seal the roof’s surface. One of the significant bonuses of the new resin surface is the increased elastic function of the fresh coating, which will seal damage or degradation in the older coatings that have become brittle due to UV exposure and climate changes related to countless heating and cooling cycles. Once the coating is applied and has cured, it seals the small blemishes and damage that could have expanded to create roof leaks.
Does A Roof Coating Eliminate The Need To Reroof?

A roof coating can be applied to a small area of the roof that was damaged or possibly damaged by debris, such as a falling tree branch, or can be applied to the entire surface of the commercial roof. Before you decide if a roof coating will provide the protection needed for your commercial property, the roof’s surface and support structure must be evaluated. In some cases where the damage to the roof is limited to the surface and sealing capabilities of the roof, a coating can provide a solution that provides long-term benefits. In other cases, when roof leaks result in water damage and deterioration to the roof’s support structure, a replacement roof is the only long-term solution. The team at Weather is here to provide you with the information and professional guidance needed to make the best choice for your commercial property and budget when determining if a roof coating is a viable solution for your property.

What Makes Roof Coatings Appealing?

Of course, you want to eliminate the potential for water damage to your commercial property. However, you must evaluate all the perks of using a roof coating to help you make the best choice based on the circumstances facing you and your business. The most common benefits of a roof coating include:

Time Savings – the installation of a roof coating is significantly faster than a reroofing of the property, which can be a critical factor if access to the property is limited during the new roof installation or it interrupts the function of the business

Environmental Benefits – The roof coating will eliminate the need to remove the old roof and greatly reduce the debris headed to a landfill

Cost-Effective – The cost of a roof coating is a fraction of the cost of a new roof due to the reduced materials needed for the project and the decreased labor for the project

Added Energy-Efficiency – The reflective capabilities of the stark white roof coating can help keep your commercial property cooler in the summer as it reflects the sun’s heat and provides an added layer of insulation to help maintain the temperature indoors in the cooler months
