Your roof bears the extreme sun, rain, snow, and hail, protecting your business operations from the weather outside. Over time, exposure to the elements can degrade the integrity of your roof, causing leaks. Small problems can be repaired, but sometimes there can be too many problems, and you might need to get your entire roof replaced. A roof replacement can be quite costly. In Greenwood, Indiana, Foster Contracting offers you an alternate solution: a roof coating. Call us at 317-868-2323 to get a free estimate!
What is A Roof Coating?
Roof coatings are exactly what they sound like. It is the process of applying a layer of specially manufactured coating material over your existing roof. We usually spray coat the material on the rooftop. There are many materials available for this use. Some examples are:
- Silicone
- Acrylic
- Asphalt
- Polyurethane
- Bituminous
Benefits of Roof Coating
Getting a roof coating has many benefits, which has caused a boom in commercial roof coating in recent years.
Getting a roof coating extends the life of your roof. A complete roof replacement can be quite costly. Coating your roof will add an extra layer of protection over your roof. Sunlight and water will attack the coating instead of the roof underneath it, helping your roof last more years than it would originally have.
Most roof coating materials are excellent reflectors of the UV rays in sunlight. This reflection means your building absorbs less heat during the day keeping your property cooler. Lower heat absorption saves money your business spends on cooling.
Your business can decrease its carbon footprint by saving energy spent on heating. But this is not the only way roof coatings are environmentally-friendly. Torn-down roofs are a major component of waste dumped in landfills. By getting a roof coating and extending the life of your roof, you help reduce waste disposed of in landfills.
Compared to a roof replacement, a roof coating is quicker. A complete roof replacement can mean weeks of work. On the other hand, a roof coating using the latest equipment can be done in days. This time saved relates to lesser downtime for your regular business operations.
By forming a layer over your existing roof system, a roof coating can cover any cracks, leaks, and faults that may have come up over time. This technique can sometimes be useful in solving roof leaks because it helps you avoid dealing with the huge charges of labor and materials associated with completely tearing off and replacing your roof.
