Silicone Roofs

What is a Silicone Roof Coating?

A silicone roof coating is a durable, seamless layer applied over existing roofing systems. Made from silicone-based polymers, resins, and solvents, it forms a rubber-like membrane that is exceptionally resistant to harsh weather conditions. This coating is ideal for Florida’s climate, offering robust protection against the elements.

Key Benefits of Silicone Roof Coatings

Leak and Standing Water Resistance:

• Silicone coatings are exceptionally resistant to ponding water, a common issue with flat roofs, thereby preventing leaks and moisture damage.

Weather Resilience:

• Designed to withstand Florida’s extreme weather, silicone coatings offer superior protection against wind, rain, and hurricanes.

UV Ray Defense:

• Reflecting harmful UV rays, silicone coatings prevent the deterioration of roofing materials, preserving both the structural integrity and appearance of the roof.

Energy Efficiency:

• By reflecting sunlight, these coatings help reduce heat absorption, leading to significant energy savings and a cooler building interior.

Mold and Mildew Resistance:

• The smooth, moisture-resistant surface of silicone coatings helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew.

Application and Versatility

Silicone roof coatings can be applied to a wide range of roofing materials, including modified bitumen, metal, concrete, and single-ply systems. Their quick and efficient application process, coupled with low VOC content, makes them an environmentally friendly option. Additionally, their ability to expand and contract without becoming brittle helps maintain their integrity over time.

Roof Inspection and Evaluation

• Initial Assessment: Thorough examination of the existing roof for any damage or issues.
• Repair Identification: Pinpointing necessary repairs to prepare the roof for coating.

Cleaning the Roof

• Surface Cleaning: Removing all dirt, debris, and contaminants, often via power washing.
• Drying: Ensuring the roof surface is completely dry before proceeding.

Conducting Repairs

• Repair Work: Addressing all identified issues from the inspection stage.
• Priming (If Applicable): Applying primer on certain roof types for enhanced coating adhesion.

Silicone Coating Application

• Initial Layer Application: Evenly spreading the silicone coating using appropriate tools.
• Coverage Check: Careful inspection for uniform application without overly thick or thin areas.

Curing and Final Inspection

• Curing Period: Allowing the coating to cure undisturbed, duration varies based on weather.
• Inspection Post-Cure: Ensuring complete coverage and addressing any concerns.

Maintenance and Follow-Up

• Regular Inspections: Routine checks for maintaining coating integrity.
• Cleaning Routine: Periodic cleaning to maintain the roof’s reflective properties and appearance.
