What Is Elastomeric Roof Coating?


Posted April 23, 2021 by groupincore

Elastomeric coatings are known for its elasticity and durability. The elasticity ensures its movement as it expands and contracts. Consult with a roof coating contractor for best suggestions.

 
Elastomeric roof coating is an elastic coating. To seal and protect underlying materials these coatings are applied. This prevents the roof from weathering and leaks. The elastic quality helps it stretch and move. Contractors are using them on many commercial and industrial roof types. Let’s understand this type of coating in detail.

When to coat a roof?
The value of the coating can truly be felt if you apply the commercial roof coatings as soon as the first sign of the damage comes to notice. By repairing early and taking protective measures you create a strong barrier around your roof from any kind of external harm.

What to consider at the time of buying elastomeric coating?
There are many physical properties that should be taken into consideration as you decide to go for an elastomeric coating. Every roof has different requirements in terms of sunlight, weather, construction process and materials. These are the properties you should evaluate:
Elasticity :
This is the ability of stretching. This means that the roof coatings are able to expand and contract with changing weather. Higher elasticity ensures the coating’s endurance to the needs and fluctuations of the roof’s surface.

Tensile strength:
This is the measurement of the ability of the products to stay together and prevent breaking. When the product is new it has great tensile strength and the strength starts decreasing once it’s exposed to the sun.

Moisture :
The ability to absorb water and repel water varies in every coating.

Peel adhesion:
The adhesion must remain attached to the roof surface whatever may be the weather condition. If it does not stay attached firmly it is not enough to protect the roof.

These are some basic points. There are obviously many more you should consider properly. Professional roof coating contractors have knowledge of every material and its pros and cons. They can recommend the right material suitable for your roof.
