Cool Roof (aka Acrylic/Elastomeric Coating, Silicone Coating, Restoration)

Acrylic is a fast-drying liquid made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion and is water-soluble but becomes water-resistant when dry. Acrylic coatings are commonly used as white reflective color. Thanks to its durability and low-cost many facility managers believe this to be the best roof coating and it’s applied as a liquid restoration system. Acrylic coating systems last 10-20 years, however, once they reach the end of their warranty, they can be re-coated and a new warranty begins. The process can be repeated over and over again, making the Acrylic roof coating system a renewable and sustainable roofing system.

Silicone coating is the best roof coating that satisfies both quality and cost-effectiveness. Silicone is moisture cured and humidity can even promote its cure. Silicone weather is better than other coatings with almost no erosion and it does not get hard or brittle. A good Silicone coating could last up to 20 years with proper annual maintenance and inspection of the roof.

Whether Acrylic or Silicone coating, it’s important to hire a reliable and qualified company that is fully insured and bonded to do the work.
