What are Roof Coatings?

Roof coatings are liquefied polymers applied to protect and extend the life of a roof system. They are often used to prevent water intrusion when other solutions may interrupt normal business operations. Similar to SPF roof systems, they can be used on odd-shaped roofs and in hard-to-reach areas. This method allows you to restore your roof, postpone a costly replacement and address various roofing concerns.

What are the Costs for Commercial Roof Coatings?

The roof coating cost will depend on the type of polymer you use. However, you are improving your existing roof installation instead of replacing it, bringing significant savings into your budget.

Benefits of Roof Coatings

High UV stability

Roof coatings will give your roof a brand-new look that will last for a long time.

The improved energy efficiency of your building

Commercial roof coatings are highly reflective and will help your roof (and your facility!) to stay cooler.

Fast, straightforward installation

Roof coatings do not require expensive equipment and will not impact your business operations.

Extend the life of your existing roof

Applied properly, a commercial roof coating may extend the life of your roof by up to 10 years. Applying a commercial roof coating will eliminate the need for tear-off and waste, lowering the overall environmental impact of the project.

Corporate branding

You can create your own custom color and match your roof to your brand standards by adding your company logo to your roof.

Total flexibility in waterproofing of your existing roof

Seamless application that accommodates nonuniform roof surfaces and seals cracks and splits on the roof surface. Coatings allow you to eliminate weak points quickly and provide a smooth surface to help with eliminating ponding water during storms.

Types of Commercial Roof Coatings

Silicones

Durable, flexible, fast-drying and easy to apply, silicones are a premium waterproofing product with UV, bio growth and fire resistance. They can be used in humid environments as well as in locations that experience expansion and contraction of the roof during temperature shifts.

Polyurethanes/Polyurea

Versatile and highly resistant to chemicals, impact and abrasion, polyurethanes and polyurea coatings are ideal for harsh environments and manufacturing processes involving chemicals. With a 100% solid, no-VOC formula, they are USDA/FDA-approved, ensuring safety and durability in a variety of settings.

Acrylics

A durable, seamless and watertight coating solution for your roof. Acrylics create a seal over the entire roof, including around vents, flashings and projections. Our CentiSeal coating is an advanced liquid-applied system that can restore roofs, is energy efficient, environmentally friendly, highly reflective and contains no VOCs. Advanced acrylic coatings may also prevent algae and mildew growth.

Fluoropolymers

A reflective, weather resistance, color stable, algae resistant and tough solution with an enamel-like finish. Fluoropolymers create potential savings in energy bills and minimal maintenance costs to property owners.

Roof Coating Installation Process

A properly applied commercial roof coating will keep your roof watertight for years. But what is "properly applied"? The prep work includes a thorough roof cleaning to ensure maximum adhesion and air-tight results. Roof coatings will be able to seal all cracks and imperfections on your roof, but any debris or dirt blocking that access needs to be removed. Once your roof is ready, the coating of your choice will be applied using spray or roll methods. Drying time will depend on the exact compound formula, but generally, you want to wait 24 hours before walking on your roof.

CentiMark's Roof Coating Projects

Grand Junction, CO

Grand Junction Tech Center was experiencing problems with its roof. The roof already had two layers of existing roofing, and Grand Junction Tech Center was looking for another option instead of a full roof replacement. CentiMark created a solution for the customer where a replacement wasn't needed. Instead, CentiMark pressure washed and primed the roof, then wrapped all penetrations with 12" Roofmate fabric and applied a Unisil HS silicone with a three-course application. Then the CentiMark team addressed all seams with 4" fabric and finally installed a single coat of GAF white Unisil High Solid Silicone coating.
