It depends largely on your needs. If you are looking for all-around protection with minimal maintenance, an acrylic coating may be right for you. If the building is subject to consistent extreme temperature changes or you need a single-coat application, silicone might be the better option. Talk to our team of experts for more guidance on the best type of roof coating for your needs.
Archives: FAQs
How do you clean liquid-applied roofing?
Liquid-applied roofing can be cleaned regularly using a low-power wash, preferably at least once per year.
Do roof coatings stop leaks?
When properly applied, a roof coating can be a highly effective barrier to prevent leaks.
How do acrylic and silicone coatings differ?
Acrylic (water-based) coatings affix well to a wide range of roof types and provide excellent protection, but they may need multiple coats and take some time to cure. Silicone coatings take less time to cure, can often be applied in one coat, and do well in extreme temperature settings — but they can lose their reflectivity over time without regular cleaning and maintenance. Talk to our experts to determine which is best for your project.
How long do elastomeric roof coatings last?
With proper care and maintenance, a properly applied elastomeric coating can easily last 15-20 years.
