3 Things I Wish I Knew Before Replacing a Flat Roof
Owning a commercial property comes with many new challenges, one being the dreaded replacement of an aging or problematic flat roof. It starts with a few repairs and ends with a costly bill to complete a re-roof. Did you know that there is another option?
You Don't Need to Tear Off Your Roof
Whether your roof is large or small, flat or sloped, our Solvent-Free 100% Silicone Roof Coatings provide a proven, guaranteed solution for renewing your weathered and leaking roof. They can be applied to virtually any existing roof to create a durable, glossy, seamless membrane that seals and protects against permanent ponding water, ultraviolet light and severe weather. By re-coating, you not only extend the life of your roof, you avoid the need for a time-consuming and costly roof tear-off.
Black Roof Absorbs Solar Energy and Causes Heat
When your roof heats up, so does the inside of your building. Not only is the comfort of your building suffering, but so is your bottom line. Increased temperatures inside result in increased energy bills since your air conditioning will be running longer to compensate for the discomfort.
A White Roof Reflects Solar Energy
A black roof absorbs solar energy and creates heat, whereas a white roof reflects solar energy. This provides a number of benefits such as reduced heat, increased energy efficiency, and durability. The result of these benefits are increased savings and comfort.
Coating Can Extend The Life of Your Roof
Most flat roofs last 20-30 years. By that time, most likely the roof will need to be replaced. Not true! With ECOROOF coating, we are able to extend the life of your roof another 20+ years. The silicone membrane gets installed over your existing roof, eliminating the need to replace it today, or in the near future.
