While there are several reasons
why a roof can start leaking, many people do not realize that the UV rays from
the sun are the most damaging to your roofs surface. Dark roofs absorb a great amount
of the sun’s heat- UV rays, causing the roof to become a brittle, less elastic
substrate. When your roof becomes brittle, the membrane may lose thickness and
become less defensive against leaks. A similar situation occurs when the roof
loses the capability to expand and contract with fluctuating temperatures -
cracks occur and seams split, leading to roof failure and more leaks. It is
important to use one of the AcrylicRoof Coatings to protect your
roof against these common side effects from the sun.
