Common Roof Coating Options

Not Sure What Coating to Apply to Your Roof?  

Roof coating is a practical solution if you want to control the likes of heat loss, protect your roof against harsh weather conditions, and extend the lifespan of your roof. However, no one coating will fit every kind of roofing material. This is why Pepper Coatings has provided you with a list of all the options available.

Silicone coatings

Silicone is common in regions that receive a lot of rain. It is also suitable for areas that suffer from high UV rays and require a reflective roof to keep the interior cooler.

Acrylic coatings

Acrylic coatings are available in either solvent and water-based formulas. The qualities of this coating will depend on the formula used. However, it does have good weathering properties and will reflect UV rays. The choice of the formula also depends on the type of the roof, adhesion, and temperature changes.

Polyurethane coatings

These coatings are solvent-based and are available in either aliphatic or aromatic types. The aromatic is not as UV stable as aliphatic. The coating has high abrasion resistance properties, which is why it is preferred in areas there is high foot traffic on the roof or regions that receive hailstorms.

Bitumen based coatings

This coating can be used with water or solvents. It is inexpensive and is compatible with most roofing materials.

Asphalt coatings

Asphalt coating is available in either aluminized or black emulsions. They have good weather adaptability, in addition to being reflective and UV-stable. They will also work well on either bitumen or asphalt-based roofs.

So before you make your decision, first consider the main reason for applying such a coating on your roof. Such reasons include restoration or repair, saving energy, or reflecting UV rays.
