When is Silicone Roof Coating Used?

The Benefits of Silicone Roof Coating
Single Coat Capability
Unlike other coatings, a silicone roof coating can be applied in a single coat because it’s thicker because it has a higher solids content. When cured, the high-quality coating is effective, and you save on labor and time costs. The coating can be applied at differing thicknesses so minor slope variances and water pooling can be reduced.
No Need for a Primer
In most situations, a silicone roof coating can be applied directly to the roof surface without a primer which lowers both labor and product costs. All that is needed before applying the coating is a power wash to ensure the surface is free from dirt and debris.
Extends the Life of Your Roof
If your roof is in good condition, you can use silicone roof coating to extend its life. It fills in vulnerable areas of the roof surface such as cracks and seams, so that problem areas have a waterproof layer of protection.

Silicone roofs coatings contain the lowest VOC levels exceeding safety requirements in all 50 states. They are also solvent-free, so they are not flammable because their flashpoint is very high.
No Erosion-Performance Leaders
Silicone roof coatings form an impenetrable barrier between your roof and the elements, even water that collects on the roof won’t pose a problem. Through rigorous testing, silicone coatings have been shown to have a longer lifespan than other coating options as they retain adhesion, remain leak-free and won’t chalk over time. It is also is built to withstand extreme weather and it can withstand hailstorms, snow, sand, oxidization and extreme temperatures.
Enjoy Energy Savings
Silicone coated roofs are sometimes referred to as “cool roofs” because of the silicone’s reflective properties. This can reduce your energy costs significantly in the summer months (up to 35%) as there is less need for air conditioning.
Silicone Coatings Can Be Applied Anytime (and it’s Quick)
Silicone roof coatings are a flexible solution as they cure naturally and can be applied when it’s hot or cold, or even if it’s humid outside because it’s a moisture-cured product, with no risk of wash-off.

A silicone coating can also cut your installation and repair time by 30%, so it’s a lot more convenient and less labor-intensive.
