Silicone Roof Coatings
Premium elastomeric coating solution offering superior weather resistance and longevity for commercial roofs
Key Benefits
- ✓ 80-90% UV reflectivity that won't degrade or chalk over time
- ✓ Permanent ponding water resistance due to moisture-cure chemistry
- ✓ Maintains flexibility in extreme temperatures (-40°F to 200°F)
- ✓ 50+ year lifespan with proper maintenance
- ✓ Solvent-free options available (100% solids)
- ✓ Reduces noise from rain and hail by dampening sound
- ✓ Protects roof components (screws, caps, bolts) from corrosion
Best Applications
Silicone coatings excel in these scenarios:
- • Flat or low-slope commercial roofs with ponding water issues
- • Buildings in high UV exposure areas
- • Roofs requiring long-term weatherproofing
- • Metal roofs needing corrosion protection
- • Modified bitumen and single-ply membrane restoration
Technical Specifications
| Property | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Solids Content | 90-100% |
| Tensile Strength | 250-400 psi |
| Elongation | 150-300% |
| Permeability | 5-10 perms |
| Application Thickness | 20-30 dry mils |
Installation Considerations
Important Notes:
- • Requires completely dry surface for application
- • Not compatible with asphalt-based products
- • May require primer on certain substrates
- • Professional installation recommended for warranty
- • Cure time: 24-48 hours depending on conditions
Environmental Benefits
- • Superior dirt resistance maintains reflectivity over time
- • Resistant to moss, fungus, mold, and lichen growth
- • Extends roof life by 10-20+ years, reducing landfill waste
- • Contributes to urban heat island reduction
- • Low-VOC and solvent-free options available
Cost Analysis
Silicone coatings typically range from $3-5 per square foot installed. While initial costs are higher than acrylic options, the superior longevity and minimal maintenance requirements often result in lower total cost of ownership over 20+ years.
Energy Savings:
Can reduce cooling costs by 15-35% through high reflectivity and emissivity properties.
