Rubber roof coating provides an excellent alternative to a full roof replacement. It’s easy to apply and waterproofs a roof quickly. It can also protect the building from severe weather, prolonged sun exposure and other hazards. It’s ideal for flat roofs, parapet walls and a variety of other surfaces.

This material is a great option for metal roofing solutions as well as shingle and tile roofs. The liquid application is sprayed or brushed on and left to dry into a seamless blanket that adds durability and longevity to the roof system. This material is a smart investment for any commercial roof and can extend the life of the roof by decades.

Efficient Roofing Systems: Exploring Liquid Roof Solutions

A rubber roof coating is made from a blend of isobutylene and refined to create the liquid application. The chemistry behind the drying process causes the product to fuse with your roof, becoming one in the same. This makes it impossible for water to penetrate the surface, preventing the formation of algae and other fungi.

Depending on the type of roof, you may need to prep the surface before applying the rubber coating. It’s important to remove any old shingles or debris, seal any skylights, vents or protrusions and reinforce low-lying areas. The coating will adhere better to a clean slate and provide a more even finish.

It’s a good idea to wear protective clothing when working with this material. Pants, long sleeves, closed-toed shoes and a hat are ideal.
