What Is Roof Coating and Why Use It in Clarksville?

Roof coating is a liquid applied to the surface of an existing flat roof. It cures into a seamless, waterproof membrane. It reflects UV rays. It seals small cracks and seams. It can extend the life of a roof by 5 to 10 years.

There are three main types of coating. We will explain each.

Silicone coating. Best for Clarksville. It is white and reflective (reflects up to 70% of solar radiation). It handles ponding water better than any other coating. It resists UV. It adheres to TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and even aged asphalt. Lifespan: 10 to 15 years. Cost: varies to varies per square foot.

Acrylic coating. Water-based. White and reflective. Cheaper than silicone (varies to varies per square foot). But it does not handle ponding water well. If water sits for more than 24 hours, acrylic can soften and peel. Best for roofs that drain quickly. Lifespan: 5 to 10 years.

Polyurethane coating. Tough and impact-resistant. Good for roofs with foot traffic (HVAC technicians, maintenance workers). Not as reflective (usually gray or tan). Cost: varies to varies per square foot. Lifespan: 10 to 15 years.

Why coat instead of replace? Cost is the main reason. A coating is typically 30 to 50 percent of the cost of a full replacement. Also, coating can be applied without tearing o the old roof, which means less disruption to your business or home. And the white coating reduces cooling costs. In Clarksville's summer, that is a real benefit.

PSI). No high pressure. We remove dirt, algae, and loose granules. We let the roof dry for 24 to 48 hours. The roof must be completely dry for the coating to bond.

1. Prime (if needed). Some coatings require a primer, especially over EPDM or aged asphalt.

We apply the primer with a roller. It dries in 2 to 4 hours.

For residential, we roll. We apply at the manufacturer's recommended thickness (usually 10 to 15 mils wet). We cover the entire roof, including flashings and seams.

1. Inspect and touch up. We look for missed spots. We roll extra coating into any thin areas.
2. Apply the second coat. The second coat is applied at a 90-degree angle to the first. This
