What is Elastomeric Roof Coating?
Elastomeric roof coating contractors are in high demand as reflective roof coatings are surging in popularity across North America. One of the things that makes elastomeric roof coating so widespread is its ability to be installed over existing roofing systems, such as metal, single-ply membrane, modified bitumen, and built-up roof systems. In fact, many see it as a practical, durable, and ultimately affordable means to protect their low-slope roofs, increase their lifespan, and simultaneously cut energy costs.
Elastomeric roof coating contains components that are ultimately rubber-like. Simply put, this means that it easily expands with the heat during the day and settles to its original state in the evening and at nighttime. This component of elastomeric roof coating provides it with a sort of intrinsic "memory." It is this very property that helps expand the lifespan of existing roofs because it assists in diminishing the risk of hardening and cracking. In addition, elastomeric roof coatings work to seal, and therefore protect, the surface of the roof. It can keep it from being damaged by wind, rain, storms, and help slow deterioration that is prone to occur when dust and dirt begin to collect.
