Ensuring your commercial roof stays well protected in the sun is crucial. The coating on your roof protects against elements like sunlight, rain, hail, and physical damage. Selecting the right coating and having a skilled team apply it properly is vital. At Spirit Roofing, we install coatings on commercial and industrial buildings from Michigan to Ohio.
What Are Roof Coatings?
Applying commercial roof coatings helps protect your roof from UV rays and harsh weather conditions creating a shield. These coatings not only reduce the strain on your building’s heating but also affect cooling systems by increasing reflectivity and helping manage temperature changes to extend the durability of the roof. Additionally, a new coating system enhances the appearance of your building. Choosing roof coatings is a choice that offers advantages for your commercial property.
A roof coating can be applied to a variety of roof surfaces. You can apply coatings to:
- Built-up roofs (BURs)
- Metal roofs
- Modified bitumen roofs
- Single-ply roofs
- Sprayed polyurethane foam (SPF) systems
Roof Coatings
There are three primary types of commercial roof coatings:
- Acrylic Roof Coating: Acrylic coatings are water-based and typically available in white, tan, and gray. They also come in various colors. This kind of commercial roof coating is best for environments with elevated UV exposure, where a reflective roof is preferred.
- Polyurethane Coatings: Polyurethane coatings are typically solvent-based and are available in two primary types: aromatic and aliphatic. (The latter type is UV-stable.) Urethane provides excellent mechanical properties, high abrasion resistance, and tensile strength.
- Silicone Coatings: Like acrylics, silicone roof coatings are suitable for high-UV environments due to their ability to reflect the sun’s rays. They are utilized in areas with typical daily rainfall, and roofs frequently experience moisture accumulation.
