Types of Coatings That Can Be Applied

There are many commercial roof coating options available. However, your roof material will determine which one you choose. Some roofs require multiple layers while others can be applied directly on the roof’s surface. A reliable roof coating company can provide more expertise and advise you on what you should do. This is where we step in.

We offers various roof coating services from rubber to urethane.

Asphalt

Asphalt-based roof coatings use a solvent to make them thinner and easier to apply to a roof without needing heavy equipment. We brush or spray the asphalt, and it works best on metal roofs, built-up roofs, and membrane roofs.

Urethanes

A urethane roof coating is ideal for high traffic areas because it’s flexible, seamless, and durable. It can expand and contract with your roof structure. Moreover, urethanes resist water pooling, and they are more impact-resistant than many other types of coatings.

Acrylic

Elastomeric or acrylic coatings are reflective and prevent rust. Plexiglass is a common acrylic. These acrylic coatings are strong and flexible, making them ideal for metal roofing. As a result, they can expand or contract with the metal. Acrylic coatings have use in many Rhino Roofers applications, so we know that they are very durable. Spray nozzles make it easy to apply these coatings, which makes the process faster and less labor-intensive. Another key point is that it’s economical and can last in all climates.

Silicone

Silicone roof coatings are extremely durable and protect against leaking. They are easy to apply and they don’t contain any water. A silicone roof coating can withstand ponding and lasts up to 10-15 years. Silicone is not recommended for heavy traffic as it can become slippery when wet.

Rubberized Aluminum

A rubber aluminum coating reflects heat and is incredibly resilient to impact. It doesn’t damage easily and has use on built-up roofs, single ply roofs, spray polyurethane foam, and modified bitumen roofs.

Polyurethanes

Roof coatings made of polyurethane are resistant to impact and can withstand a lot of traffic. Although aromatic polyurethane roof coatings aren’t UV-resistant, they are cheaper. These can be used as a base coat before you apply another layer. Although they are more expensive than other polyurethanes, aliphatic polyurethanes can be used to hold color, keep them cleaner, and are also UV stable. As a result, aromatic polyurethane coating will ensure that your roof is not only clean and UV stable but also repels water and resists heavy impacts.

Polyureas

Polyureas come in many forms. Some of them are very similar to urethane coats, while others are more like acrylic elastomers. Roof coatings offer abrasion resistance and corrosion protection, as well as structural enhancement, chemical resistance, waterproofing, and chemical resistance. Polyureas can be found on metal roofs as well as single-ply and foam roofs.

Granules

To increase the roof coating’s resistance against impact and abrasion, granules can also be added to some roof coating systems. As a result, this can make the coating safer by providing a non-slip surface. It is ideal for commercial buildings with a lot of roof activity. It has use on asphalt, modified bitumen, and single-ply roofs.
