Roof Coating

Roof Coating In Louisiana.

Roof coating is a great way to protect your home from the elements. The roof of your house is one of the most important parts of your home as it protects you from rain, snow, and other outdoor weather elements. Roof coating helps to prevent leaks and provides a barrier against heat and cold. Roof coating prevents leaks by protecting the shingles from UV rays, which can cause them to crack or break. It also seals cracks in the shingles that can let water seep through. Roof coating helps to keep your home cool during hot summer months by reflecting sunlight away from the surface of your roof. This helps keep your home cooler and reduces energy costs associated with cooling systems such as air conditioners or fans. Roof coating also protects against extreme temperatures during winter months by providing an extra layer of insulation between your home’s interior and exterior walls which prevents heat loss through these areas during cold weather conditions.

WHY COAT A ROOF?

All roofs are susceptible & vulnerable to damage from sunlight and inclement weather. Some roofing materials, however, are simpler to maintain than others because they’re more durable. But some roofing materials require professional help. Coatings are used to protect the top layer of a roof from the elements. Without a coating, the underlying material would deteriorate rapidly. Coatings also make it possible to use different materials on the top of a roof than what is used in constructing its base. There are many benefits to applying a coating to your roof: Improved protection: Roof coatings can help protect a roof from severe weather, especially hail. Hailstones are capable of causing extreme damage to a roof, and a coating helps add an additional layer of protection. Cost savings: Costs savings: A new roof can cost thousands of dollars, while only requiring about 30% to 40% of the price of a complete tear-off. A coating can be an affordable alternative to a complete tear-off and can provide long-term savings. Energy savings: Reflective roof coatings can help reduce the amount of energy needed to cool your home by reflecting ultraviolet (UV) rays that hit your roof and cause it to heat up.

TYPES OF ROOF COATING SYSTEMS

When choosing a roof coating, you must consider the different factors your roof will be exposed to. For example, if your home is in an area that is prone to heavy rainfall, you should use a bituminous coating, which is designed to waterproof roofs. Here are some of the coatings we offer in Louisiana.
Elastomeric Coatings: Elastomeric coatings are liquid compounds that stretch and spring back to their original shape after being compressed for an extended period. These elastic properties allow the coating to absorb thermal expansion caused by hot weather without being damaged, which allows a roof to stretch without being damaged.
Reflective Coatings: Reflective coatings reflect the sun’s rays, keeping the roof cool. These coatings tend to be white or include other reflective colors. They fall under the “cool roof” category, also called “high-albedo” roofs, because of their high albedo (reflective) values. These roofs can decrease temperature on a roof.

Polymer-Modified Coatings: Polymer-modified coatings have many benefits over unmodified bituminous coatings. The polymer acts to increase flexibility, durability and longevity, but is more expensive than unmodified products.
