Is your roof suitable for a coating?
A coating can help you keep a commercial roof that's still sound. It needs a surface it can bond to, repaired seams and suitable support underneath. Wet insulation can't be sealed in and forgotten. It needs attention before the roof is coated.
At Claremore Roofing Experts, the inspection comes before the coating choice. The roof's moisture, attachment and drainage help determine whether restoration is worth pursuing or failed material needs to come off first.
Prepare the roof before coating
Check the roof and test adhesion
Defects and concealed moisture need assessment where they affect the decision. Adhesion testing checks whether the proposed coating can bond to the existing surface.
Repair failed areas
Wet or weakened material, open seams and damaged flashing need correction. The coating shouldn't hide a loose roof or bridge a problem with its support.
Clean and prepare
The surface needs cleaning, drying and any primer the product requires. Residue and moisture can stop the new coating from bonding.
Apply and let it cure
Reinforcement, thickness and coverage need to follow the selected system. The roof also needs protection while the coating cures, especially around equipment and access routes.
Silicone or acrylic?
Silicone coatings
Some silicone systems suit roofs with prolonged water exposure. The product still needs a compatible, prepared surface and sound attachment. It can't create drainage slope or repair an unstable deck.
Acrylic coatings
Water-based acrylic coatings need suitable weather to dry. The roof's drainage and the product's limits determine whether they're a good fit. A reflective finish describes the surface; it doesn't settle those installation questions.
Caring for a coated roof
Keep the coating serviceable
A coated roof still needs clear drains and protection from tools and equipment traffic. Future repairs have to be compatible with the coating already in place. Those maintenance needs are part of deciding whether to keep the roof.
Include the work that makes it suitable
The restoration price needs to include the repairs that make the roof suitable. A lower total isn't useful if it leaves wet material or failed seams out of the job. Warranty terms and maintenance requirements matter too. A reflective coating doesn't guarantee a particular saving on your building's energy bill.
