Choosing the Right Roof Coating

Choosing the Right Roof Coating
2
The reason the substrate is so important to the
successful selection of the right roof coating is
that how well the coating adheres to the roof is
determined as much by the fabric of the roof as
by the type of coating. If the roof is smooth and
hard then a coating with a high level of adhesion
is required. On the other hand, most coatings
will bond well to a roof with a rough or uneven
surface.

Benefit of using a base coat

• Usually a base coat is applied to the roof before
  the coating to further improve adhesion, many
  designed for particular types of roof. Another
  benefit of using a base coat is to prevent
  "bleeding" of color from the original surface
  into the new coating because roof coatings are
  designed to not only repair a roof effectively
  and extend its life but to also improve its
  appearance.

5
Most roof coatings come in a range of colours and
finishes and are usually guaranteed for 10 years.
6
There are many factors that can affect the
success of a roof coating application. Some are
beyond the control of the roofing contractors,
such as the prevailing weather conditions, but
others are within their control such as
application to an even thickness across the whole
of the roof surface so a professional,
experienced contractor is much more likely to
enhance your roof successfully in terms of both
its look and its durability.

Some also have an added insulating material so
are good for the environment as the amount of
energy required to heat the building is reduced
but, of course, that's also good for the running
costs of the building. An added benefit of this
insulation is that it also regulates the
building's temperature in the summer months
making it a more comfortable environment in hot
weather.
9
Other factors to consider are the coating's
resistance to acid rain and to moss or lichen
growth as, over time, these will also affect the
reliability of the roof as well as its appearance.

When choosing an industrial roof coating the cost
will undoubtedly be a factor but also take into
consideration the following issues which may,
over the lifetime of the roof, become as relevant
as the initial outlay
Existing roof type Affect on energy
bills Durability Guarantee period Range of
colors Resistance to acid rain Weather
resistance (extremes of temperature) Resistant to
moss and lichen growth Base coat required or
recommended

In some cases you may require a specialist
coating for your industrial roofing - this is
particularly true if you have an asbestos roof.
In such cases some of the above considerations
are less important than the safety of
encapsulating the potentially hazardous asbestos
fibers into the fabric of the roof coating.
