What are the Benefits of Reflective Coverings for Rooftops?

1.       Protection for Your Existing Roof

Reflective coatings for roofs create a protective barrier between the roof substrate and the Sun.  White reflective coatings shield the roof from the chemical breakdown caused by the Sun’s damaging ultra-violet (UV) rays and help minimalize corrosion caused by the weather.  Reflecting the UV rays away from the roof, also allows the roof system’s temperature to remain lower, slowing the substrate’s rate of aging – prolonging the life span of your present roof.

2.       Benefits Are Renewable and Maintainable

Re-applying reflective coatings for roofs every 10 to 20 years provides continuous benefits while allowing you to avoid a costly-tear off indefinitely. 

3.       Financially Favorable

Protecting an existing roof system with reflective coatings can be financially beneficial to building owners

4.       Energy Savings and Environmentally-Friendly

Reflective coatings for roofs also provide energy savings by reflecting the heat from the sun away from the building, allowing little to be absorbed into the building, increasing the efficiency of your HVAC unit because the inside air temperature stays lower.  

Best Solution for Roof Repairing!

ThermaCote acrylic roof coatings are best alternatives for repairing roof leaks on metal roofing. They are eco-friendly and also available in liquid format. These roofing materials designed to permanently repair persistent roof problems such as roof breaks.

Energy-efficient acrylic energy saving coatings is in popular among marketers as well among the customers. Rising electricity bills and the effects of urban heat landmasses have made white, reflective roof systems the product of choice for most roof maintenance applications. Using energy-efficient roofing materials results in cooler roof surfaces and less energy spent for air conditioning.

White, water based acrylic roof coatings provide the highest reflectivity and the best longevity at the most economical price.

Acrylic Concrete Coatings!!

The application of acrylic coatings first begins with inspection of floor area. Note the type of surface, surrounding conditions of that surface and other considerations such as cracks or drainage issues and then work according to your designing.

Starting with installations, first give pressure wash to surface area to ensure proper bonding. If there is any cracks in the surface which can be treated with proper epoxy. All edges such as a room base or pool tile are then masked off with paper and tape for protection.

After that a base coat of acrylic mortar is applied to the surface. This is scraped down and blown clean. Next, layers progress depending upon the desired finished effect. A basic, solid colour finish would have a layer of "lace" texture applied next, shot on with an air-powered hopper gun and apply flat. This is then scraped smooth and raged clean. The system is over with the sealing process.   

                                                                                                                                                                                         

What are roof coatings?

A roof coating is a monolithic, fully adhered, fluid applied roofing membrane. It has elastic properties that allows it to stretch and return to their original shape without damage.

Typical roof coating dry film thickness vary from paint film thickness to more than 40 dry mils. This means a roof coating actually becomes the top layer of a composite roof membrane and underlying system. As such, the roof coating is the topmost layer of protection for the membrane, receiving the impact of sunlight (both infrared and ultraviolet (UV), rain, hail and physical damage.

Benefits

Roof coatings are seamless and when installed correctly, can solve roof leaks on almost any type of roof substrate.

There are exceptions: "professionals do not recommend using cool coatings over existing shingles. This technique can cause moisture problems and water damage because the coating can inhibit normal shingle drying after rain or dew accumulation, allowing water to condense and collect under the shingles." 

Field-applied reflective roof coatings can extend the useful life of nearly every roof substrate keeping a roof surface cool and providing a level of protection from the sun and weather.

However, coating asphalt shingles and built-up composition roofs requires more caution. The National Roofing Contractors Association’s director of technical services has stated "The roofing industry is aware of a number of issues that could have negative consequences for field application of coatings over asphalt shingle roof systems. Anyone considering this type of application should be aware of the concerns so they can weigh them against the benefits claimed in coating product promotional materials." 

Roof coatings can add 25 years to the service life of a roof and reduce the amount of discarded roofing materials that end up in landfills. The infrared image on the right shows "175°F" on the uncoated (black) section of the modified bitumen roof. The coated (white) section is "79°F". Field studies have shown that cool roof coatings can lower rooftop temperatures and reduce air conditioning bills.

Top Most Cool Roof Industry Organizations

Energy Star      

The annual ENERGY STAR Awards acknowledge superior technical accomplishment and public education to raise consumer awareness about products that offer extensive energy and cost savings while contributing to a cleaner environment.

CRRC 

The CRRC provides a credible system for rating solar reflectance and thermal emittance of new and weathered cool roofing materials; ratings that building code bodies, building owners, energy providers, state air quality offices and the EPA can use in implementing energy code changes, urban development plans, rebate programs and corporate facility policies.

USGBC 

The United States Green Building Council (USGBC) was formed with its mission to be "the nation's foremost coalition of leaders from across the building industry working to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work. It is leading a national consensus for producing a new generation of buildings that deliver performance both inside and out." 

Cool Communities

From Sacramento to Tucson to Salt Lake City and Philadelphia, National Coatings has supported Cool Communities initiatives centered around heat island reduction measures that involve Cool Roofing materials, light colored roads and parking lots.

How to Properly Clean Your Roof

1. Pressure Wash the Roof - Pressure washing is the most common technique for cleaning the roof, as it is effective and can combine with detergent to improve cleaning efficacy. It is important to note that you must be careful not to damage joints, penetrations and side and end laps when cleaning with a pressure washer.
2. Clean the Roof with a Heavy Bristle Broom - If you don't have a pressure washer accessible, you can use a heavy bristle broom and water hose to clean the roof.
3. Clean All Remains Off the Roof - After the roof is sufficiently cleaned, it must be thoroughly rinsed and all debris flushed down the drains or into the sewers.

How to Test the Roof for Adequate Coating Bond:

1. Apply 2" masking tape to an area of the roof that had previously been dirty, such as a ponded water section or a drain sump. Press the tape firmly into the roofing substrate.
2. Peel the tape back:
• If it is difficult to peel off and there is no dirt or degraded roofing material on the backside of the tape, proceed with coating.
• If it peels easily with dirt or degraded roofing material embedded on the bottom of the tape, you should clean again and retest.
