Roof Coating Options

Acrylic, Polyurethane, and Silicone
 
At Riverfront Roofing we take pride when  it comes to protecting and extending the life of your roof, choosing the right roof coating is essential. Roof coatings offer an additional layer of protection, improving durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. Here, we explore three popular types of roof coatings: acrylic, polyurethane, and silicone. 

Acrylic Roof Coatings

Acrylic coatings are ideal for cost-effective, UV-resistant solutions in mild climates.

BENEFITS:

UV Resistance:

Acrylic coatings are highly reflective and protect your roof from UV radiation, reducing cooling costs.

Water-Based:

These coatings are typically water-based, making them environmentally friendly and easy to clean up.

Cost-Effective:

Acrylic coatings are generally less expensive compared to other types, making them a popular choice for budget-conscious projects.

Versatile:

Suitable for various types of roofs, including metal, asphalt, and single-ply membranes.

Acrylic roof coatings are ideal for climates with mild to moderate weather conditions. They are commonly
used on residential, commercial, and industrial roofs to enhance reflectivity and reduce heat absorption.

Polyurethane Roof Coatings

BENEFITS:

Durability:

Polyurethane coatings are known for their excellent durability and resistance to foot traffic, making them suitable for roofs that experience regular maintenance or rooftop activities

Flexibility:

These coatings can expand and contract with temperature changes, preventing cracks and leaks.

Chemical Resistance:

Polyurethane coatings provide superior resistance to chemicals, oils, and solvents, making them ideal for industrial environments.

Polyurethane coatings provide durability and chemical resistance for industrial settings

Polyurethane roof coatings are best suited for flat or low-slope roofs, particularly in areas prone to severe weather conditions. They are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings where durability and chemical resistance are crucial.

Silicone Roof Coatings

Silicone coatings offer superior waterproofing and longevity, perfect for extreme weather conditions

BENEFITS:

Waterproofing:

Silicone coatings offer excellent waterproofing capabilities, making them ideal for areas with heavy rainfall or standing water issues.

UV Stability:

These coatings resist UV degradation and maintain their reflective properties over time, reducing energy costs.

Longevity:

Silicone coatings have a longer lifespan compared to other coatings, often requiring less frequent reapplication.

Silicone roof coatings are perfect for flat and low-slope roofs, especially in regions with extreme weather conditions. They are widely used in commercial buildings and structures with frequent exposure to water and UV rays.
