Advanced Roof Coatings for Long-Term Protection

The Science and Function of Elastomeric Coatings

Roof coatings act as a monolithic, fully adhered fluid-applied membrane that seals your existing roofing system. By forming a seamless barrier over the entire surface, these coatings help address vulnerabilities around seams, fasteners, and penetrations. This preventative approach helps protect the structure from the elements and can mitigate water intrusion before it starts.

Applied as a liquid, these systems cure to form a flexible, rubber-like elastomeric stretch that moves with the thermal expansion and contraction of your building. This helps prevent cracking and peeling, maintaining a barrier over many types of commercial and residential roof substrates, including flat, metal, and modified bitumen systems.

Comprehensive Restorations and Material Compatibility

Champion Roofing Company specializes in applying high-durability coatings tailored to the unique demands of your specific roof type. While coatings are an excellent restoration option, some roofs may eventually require complete replacement. Our experienced team is fully equipped to replace shingle, metal, tile, and flat roofs when a coating is no longer the most effective solution.

Selecting the right coating involves assessing the current condition of your substrate. Acrylic, silicone, and polyurethane coatings each offer distinct advantages depending on slope, ponding water potential, and UV exposure. A professional assessment ensures the correct formulation is applied to achieve maximum adhesion and optimal performance.

The Coating Application Process

Before any coating can be applied, a thorough surface preparation is essential to ensure long-term adhesion. The roof must be thoroughly cleaned of debris, dust, and algae, often utilizing specialized pressure washing equipment. Any minor repairs, such as reinforcing seams or sealing flashing details, are completed during this initial stage.

Once the substrate is clean and dry, a primer may be applied depending on the roof material and the chosen coating system. The base coat and top coat are then applied using professional-grade spray equipment or rollers, maintaining a consistent mil thickness across the entire surface area.

Professional application ensures that the coating reaches every crevice, creating a seamless envelope. Regular inspections and maintenance following the application can significantly extend the life of the coating, keeping your underlying roof structure functional and protected for years to come.
