Reno Roof Coatings

Also Serving Commercial Customers in Carson, Tahoe, and Surrounding Areas

Reflective roof coatings can help prolong the life of existing roof systems. However, they can’t provide a long-lasting fix to existing leaks. It’s critical that you fix all known leaks with spray foam before applying an elastomeric coating. Roof Crafters offers professional roof coating installation in Reno, so you can benefit from this reflective material that increases comfort and energy efficiency. Our team of experts has served thousands when their business needs solutions they can count on.

Types of Elastomeric Coatings

When selecting elastomeric roof coatings, there are three main options: acrylic, silicone, and polyurethane. Each type offers unique benefits depending on your commercial roof's needs and conditions.

• Acrylic coatings: These water-based coatings are nearly odorless and cost-effective. They work well on most roof types and can be sprayed or rolled on. However, acrylic can delaminate with frequent ponding water and cannot be applied in temperatures below 50°F, making it less ideal for winter.
• Silicone coatings: Silicone is highly flexible, requires only one application, and is resistant to ponding water. However, it gets dirty quickly, requiring regular cleaning to maintain its reflectiveness. It can also become slippery when wet, so adding a walking pad is recommended if the roof is used for maintenance.
• Polyurethane coatings: These are the most durable and offer strong insulation. Aliphatic polyurethane provides UV protection and dirt resistance but is harder to apply and produces a strong odor, which could be disruptive if your HVAC system is roof-mounted.

When choosing the right elastomeric coating, consider your roof's exposure to moisture, foot traffic, and seasonal conditions. For a more durable, long-lasting solution, Roof Crafters can help you select the right coating to ensure your roof stays protected year-round.

Benefits of Elastomeric Roof Coatings

Though there are various types of elastomeric coatings, they provide similar benefits.

Consider these advantages of using roof coatings to protect your flat roof further:

• Minimize thermal shock
• Protection from UV damage
• Reduce roof temperature
• Prolong roof life
• Improve comfort
• Increase energy efficiency

As a strong barrier against water, roof coatings can prolong their lifespan by preventing leaks, ponding, and water damage. Another determinant of roof lifespan is thermal shock or the expansion and contraction of roofing materials caused by temperature changes. By minimizing the material movement, you avoid leaks or animal intrusion caused by gaps between layers.

Elastomeric coatings are reflective to protect your business against UV damage, reduce roof temperature, and increase energy efficiency. This reduces heating and cooling costs while maintaining high levels of comfort for your employees and customers. Don’t pay more to keep your commercial space comfortable when our expert elastomeric coating installation in Reno offers a long-term solution to maintain comfort while decreasing costs.

Roof Coating FAQs

What is an elastomeric roof coating? 

An elastomeric roof coating is a flexible, waterproof layer applied to commercial roofs. It’s designed to expand and contract with temperature changes, offering long-lasting protection against leaks, UV damage, and weathering. Common types include acrylic, silicone, and polyurethane coatings.

How is an elastomeric roof coating applied? 

Elastomeric roof coatings are typically applied by spraying or rolling the material onto the roof surface. Before application, the roof needs to be cleaned and any repairs made to ensure proper adhesion and long-term performance.

Which elastomeric roof coating is best for my roof in Reno?

Choosing the right elastomeric coating depends on your roof type and local climate. Acrylic coatings are effective for UV protection and reflective properties, while silicone is ideal for roofs prone to ponding water. Polyurethane offers excellent durability and resistance to foot traffic, making it a strong choice for heavily used roofs.

How does weather impact the performance of elastomeric coatings?

Elastomeric roof coatings are designed to handle extreme temperature fluctuations, making them ideal for Reno’s hot summers and cooler winters. These coatings remain flexible, expanding and contracting with temperature changes to prevent cracking or peeling.

How often should I reapply elastomeric roof coatings?

Elastomeric coatings generally need reapplication every 10-20 years, depending on the specific product and environmental conditions. Regular roof inspections can help determine when reapplication is necessary.
