Modern roof coatings have come a long way in recent years, and there is now a wide range of products available to suit different needs and budgets. Getting your roof coated can mean the difference between a more reliable roof with minimal work-site footprint and old tear-offs resulting in crane and dumpster expenses, and a large required worksite area. In this blog post, we will look at some specific modern roof coatings and discuss some of the pros of using them. 


Acryclic

One popular roof coating option is acrylic roof coatings. These coatings are typically made from acrylic polymers that are mixed with other ingredients to create a durable and flexible coating. Acrylic roof coatings are known for their ability to withstand harsh weather conditions and UV rays, making them a popular choice for protecting roofs in a variety of climates. They are also highly reflective, which can help to improve the energy efficiency of a building by reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the roof.


Silicone

Another modern roof coating option is silicone roof coatings. These coatings are made from silicone polymers and are known for their ability to provide a waterproof barrier that can protect a roof from water damage. Silicone roof coatings are also highly flexible, which makes them well-suited for use on roofs with complex shapes or a large number of seams. Additionally, silicone roof coatings are resistant to UV rays, making them a good choice for protecting roofs in sunny climates.

Polyurethane

A third option to consider is polyurethane roof coatings. These coatings are made from a combination of polyurethane polymers and other ingredients, and they are known for their durability and resistance to water, UV rays, and other weather-related damage. Polyurethane roof coatings are often used in industrial and commercial settings, where they can provide long-lasting protection for large and complex roofing systems.

Conclusion

Overall, there are many different modern roof coatings available, each with its own unique set of benefits. Whether you're looking for a coating that is highly reflective, waterproof, or durable, there is a modern roof coating option out there that can meet your needs. Getting your roof professionally coated could mean saving 50% (or more) of what you might spend on a full roof replacement. It also only takes a fraction of the time to complete and it may be the last roof you'll ever need! Not only are you saving yourself time, money, and a headache, but you're also minimizing waste from discarded materials that would inevitably end up in a landfill. If you're in need of a roof coating, be sure to consider these and other options to find the best product for your specific roofing needs.
