A roof coating is a monolithic, fully adhered, fluid-applied roofing membrane. Many roof coatings are elastomeric, that is, they have elastic properties that allow them to stretch and return to their original shape without damage.
Typical roof coating dry film thickness varies from paint film thickness (plus or minus 0.075 mm (3 dry mils) to more than 1 mm (40 dry mils). This means a roof coating actually becomes the top layer of a composite roof membrane and underlying system. As such, the roof coating is the topmost layer of protection for the membrane, receiving the impact of sunlight (both infrared and ultraviolet (UV), rain, hail, and physical damage.
Roof Coatings should not be confused with deck coatings. Deck coatings are traffic bearing – designed for waterproofing areas where pedestrian (and in some cases vehicular) traffic is expected. Roof coatings will only waterproof the substrates but will not withstand any kind of ongoing use by people or vehicles (such as walkways, patios, sundecks, restaurants, etc.).
Roof coatings are designed with the purpose of providing protection from environmental conditions, and also extending the life of roof assemblies, and existing roof components such as ply membranes, metal, BUR, polyurethane foam, and bitumen. Roof coatings are thicker than normal paint and form the topmost layer of the roof membrane, thus protecting the latter from sunlight, harmful UV rays, sleet, rain, and other damage caused by natural elements. Resins are key ingredients in the manufacture of roofing coatings and provide elastic properties to them, which enhances the roof coatings’ ability to sustain damage. The elastomeric film introduced by resins also introduces an extra waterproofing layer.
Roof coatings are easy to install. Smaller roofs in good, serviceable condition can be a weekend do-it-yourself (DIY) project. Larger roofs with leaks and ponding water issues should be coated by a qualified professional. Additional roof coating products, such as foam or coatings designed for seams, may be required underneath the main coating layers. Supplement coating products are used to reinforce damaged or leak-prone problem areas.
Types of Roof Coatings
There are many different types of roof coatings with various purposes, formulated with various chemistries. The primary purposes of roof coatings are resaturation of old roofs to extend the service life of the roof, reflectivity to create a “cool roof”, and toughness to provide a wearing surface on the roof that can resist abrasion from foot traffic or other physical damage, such as from hail. Primary materials used in roof coating formulation include acrylics, asphalt, butyl, coal tar pitch, polyurea, polyurethanes, polyvinylidene fluoride, silicones, and styrene-butadiene.
