Elastomeric Roof Coating
Elastomeric Roof Coating with In-Ex Designs Roofing
In-Ex Designs Roofing provides top-quality elastomeric roof coating services, offering a reliable and cost-effective solution to protect and extend the lifespan of your roof. Our elastomeric roof coatings are designed to shield your property from harsh weather, improve energy efficiency, and reduce maintenance needs. Whether you have a flat roof, sloped roof, commercial roof, or metal roof, our roof coatings are tailored to meet the specific demands of each roofing type..
Functionality of Elastomeric Roof Coatings
Elastomeric coatings act as a durable, weather-resistant seal that safeguards your roof against the elements. Applied as a fluid-applied roofing membrane, elastomeric coatings form a monolithic layer that provides superior protection against chemical resistance and weather change cracking. By using commercial sprayers, roof coating spreaders, and special profile rollers, we ensure even coverage and a smooth finish. This seamless barrier offers excellent tensile strength and flexibility, allowing it to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking. Our coatings also support effective drainage systems and prevent silicone retraction, preserving the roof surface over time.
Types of Elastomeric Roof Coatings
At In-Ex Designs Roofing, we offer a variety of elastomeric coatings to suit different needs and roof types. Each coating type has unique properties and benefits:
Acrylic Coatings: Known for their water-based formulation and ponding water resistance, acrylic coatings provide a highly reflective surface that boosts energy efficiency. Applied with airless spray equipment or foam rollers, these coatings are eco-friendly and easy to maintain.
Silicone Coatings: Ideal for areas prone to heavy rain, silicone coatings provide strong vapor barriers and are resistant to UV degradation and weather-related damage. Silicone roof coatings also perform well against acid rain corrosion.
Polyurethane Coatings: This type offers excellent tensile strength and durability, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and roofs with frequent temperature fluctuations.
Butyl Rubber Coatings: With strong chemical resistance and solvent-based formulation, butyl coatings are perfect for ponding water areas, ensuring long-lasting protection.
Our team can help you select the best coating material based on the specific needs of your property, roof condition, and budget.
Application Methods for Elastomeric Coatings
In-Ex Designs Roofing uses advanced methods to apply elastomeric coatings, ensuring a high-quality, lasting finish.
2-Coat System: To achieve optimal durability, we use a 2-coat system that enhances both dry film thickness and protection. Each layer is carefully applied to meet the recommended dry mils for maximum coverage.
Coating Spreader and Power Roller: For large or intricate surfaces, we use a coating spreader or power roller to ensure even distribution across the roof surface.
Membrane Thickness: Proper membrane thickness is crucial for longevity. Our experts measure and adjust thickness during application to create an effective and lasting barrier, ensuring the installed membrane provides maximum performance.
Cost Considerations
Elastomeric roof coatings provide significant financial advantages, both in installation and long-term maintenance:
Material Costs: Options such as acrylic, butyl, polyurethane, and liquid rubber are available, each with its own material costs and benefits. Our team will help you choose the most cost-effective solution based on your roofing needs.
Installation Cost: While elastomeric coatings may have an upfront installation cost, they reduce the need for frequent roof repairs and prolong the time between roof replacements. Coatings like silicone and acrylic minimize evaporative loss and keep energy bills down by enhancing reflectivity and insulation.
Roof Warranty: Many elastomeric coatings come with extended warranties, ensuring long-term protection and peace of mind.
Environmental and Economic Benefits
Elastomeric coatings offer substantial environmental and economic benefits:
Energy Efficiency: With highly reflective and UV-resistant properties, elastomeric coatings reduce heat absorption, which can lead to lower energy bills. This insulative value makes them a great choice for environmentally conscious property owners.
VOC Levels: Many of our coatings are low VOC or water-based, reducing the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere.
Longevity and Ease of Use: With their superior longevity, limited reapplication needs, and easy-to-clean surfaces, elastomeric coatings are both practical and sustainable.
Longevity and Maintenance
Elastomeric roof coatings are known for their impressive lifespan, but regular maintenance helps maximize their benefits:
Regular Inspections and Reapplication: Routine inspections allow us to identify and address any damaged seals or coating degradation. Reapplication may be necessary over time, depending on the thickness of the coating and exposure conditions.
Warranty and Weather Testing: Many elastomeric coatings come with extended warranties that offer protection against common issues. Our team provides coatings that have undergone rigorous weather testing to ensure they stand up to challenging conditions.
Environmentally Friendly Maintenance: Elastomeric coatings are easy to clean and maintain, with minimal environmental impact.
Factors for Choosing Elastomeric Coatings
Several factors influence the choice of an elastomeric roof coating, including:
Elongation and Tensile Strength: These properties allow the coating to stretch and withstand temperature-related expansions and contractions.
Reflectivity and Emissivity: Reflective coatings enhance energy efficiency by minimizing heat absorption, while high emissivity coatings radiate heat, keeping buildings cooler.
Permeability and Moisture Transmission: Elastomeric coatings with controlled permeability allow the roof to breathe, reducing moisture build-up and extending the lifespan of the roof.
Solids by Volume and UV Resistance: Higher solids by volume provide thicker, more durable coatings, while UV-resistant options protect against UV degradation.
Choosing the right coating based on these characteristics ensures a long-lasting, effective barrier against environmental damage and helps mitigate issues like the urban heat island effect.
