Benefits of Roof Coatings
Ponding Water Resistance:
Designed to withstand the damaging effects of standing water, ensuring prolonged roof integrity and protection against leaks.
​
Cost-Saving
Fuid-applied systems provide solutions for a fraction of the cost. It is not unrealistic to see savings of 50% or more with fluid-applied roofing systems versus conventional roofing alternatives.
User Friendly
It’s a faster, safer process, and the nontoxic formulation means no disruption to occupants and no interruption of business, which means no loss in sales.
Exceptional Breathability:
With a permeability rating of 7.2 perms, it helps prevent blistering by allowing the roof to breathe, avoiding moisture buildup under the coating.
Roof Coatings
What are Roof Coatings?
Roof coatings are designed for protecting and extending the useful service life of roof assemblies for new construction and more commonly, existing roof coverings, such as BUR, metal, modified bitumen, single ply membranes, and spray polyurethane foam.
Roof coatings are thicker than paint and have a higher solids content. Roof coatings are formulated to protect roofs from the damaging effects of weather and the environment, such as UV light, and excessive water and wind. They are formulated to provide protection for many years and are also extremely elastic; they typically contain a high level of top-quality resin. The high quality resins and the volume of resins introduced during manufacturing allow the coating to maintain its elastic properties throughout its life cycle. Once cured, these resins form an elastomeric and durable film, which provides an additional measure of waterproofing and allows the roof coating to bridge small cracks and membrane seams found on roofs. Unlike paint, which is typically applied in portions of a gallon per 100 square feet, roof coatings are applied in terms of multiple gallons per 100 square feet. Today, there are various types of roof coatings on the market that can benefit any type of roof.
The most common types of roof coatings are silicone coatings, acrylic coatings, asphalt coatings, and polyurethane coatings.

How does the roof coating preparation and application protect against environmental factors like ponding water and UV rays?Although silicone roof coatings provide exceptional resistance to ponding water, we take steps to reduce ponding water and improve roof drainage prior to applying the roof coating; these steps prevent leaks and damage associated with ponding water. It also features a UV-resistant, bright white reflective finish that not only protects the roof from sun damage but also contributes to lower cooling costs by reflecting sunlight away from the building.
-
Will the roof coating process disrupt my business operations or require the building to be closed?No, the roof coating process employed by Green Shield Construction is designed to be minimally invasive. There's no need for hot kettles or flames, and the nontoxic formulation means there is no disruption to occupants or interruption of business operations, allowing you to maintain normal activities without loss in sales.
