WHAT ARE ROOF COATINGS

​Commercial roof coatings save money, protect your roof and ensure the longevity and health of your roof.

Roof coatings are basically designed for protecting and making the service life of the roof stay fresh and last longer! In general, roof coatings means covering of the roof with silicone or elastomeric products, using an application rate 10 times thicker than traditional coatings.

Extreme energy savings can be seen immediately. For example; a standard or dark colored roof can reach temperatures of 150°F or more on a hot Jacksonville day. A roof with reflective/insulating roof coating applied and in the same conditions, could quite possibly stay more than 50°F cooler. That’s an extreme energy savings by using less air conditioning.
