Silicone Elastomeric Roof Coating

The Basics of Silicone Elastomeric Roof Coating

We provide durable, high-performance roof coating options tailored to protect flat commercial roofs from weather and wear. Our solutions combine advanced materials and proven techniques to maintain roof integrity and extend service life.

What Is Silicone Elastomeric Roof Coating?

Silicone elastomeric roof coating is a flexible, liquid-applied membrane. It cures to form a seamless, waterproof layer that resists UV rays, ponding water, and temperature fluctuations.

This coating is ideal for flat or low-slope roofs, providing enhanced protection without adding significant weight. It adheres well to various substrates such as metal, TPO, and modified bitumen.

Its elasticity allows it to expand and contract with the roof, preventing cracks or splits. The coating also reflects sunlight, reducing heat absorption and lowering energy costs.

How Silicone Coating Protects Flat Roofs

Silicone coating creates a protective barrier that resists moisture intrusion, which is critical in preventing leaks and water damage. Its water-repellent properties allow standing water to bead and run off rather than soak in.

The coating’s UV resistance prevents degradation caused by sunlight, which often leads to surface cracking and material breakdown. It also provides resistance against mold and mildew growth due to its non-porous surface.

By accommodating thermal movement without losing adhesion, silicone coatings reduce the risk of roof deterioration caused by expansion and contraction cycles. This results in fewer repairs and extended roof lifespan.

Tailored Solutions for Flat Roofs

Flat roofs demand unique treatment due to their low slope and drainage challenges. We customize waterproofing methods based on roof size, material, and exposure factors.



Our process starts with a detailed assessment of drainage patterns. We address potential pooling areas to prevent water accumulation. Additionally, we recommend protective coatings or ballast systems depending on the roof's use and structural build. Each solution is designed to extend roof lifespan and reduce repair costs.

Our Proven Application Process

We focus on thorough preparation, precise application, and strict quality controls to ensure a durable silicone elastomeric roof coating. Every step is designed to maximize performance and protection for your commercial roof.

1. Inspection and Consultation

We begin by conducting a detailed roof inspection to identify cracks, ponding water, and previous coating conditions. Our team evaluates the roof’s overall state to determine the best approach tailored to your building’s needs.



During the consultation, we discuss potential challenges and outline the scope of work, including estimated costs and timelines. This upfront clarity helps you make informed decisions without surprises.

2. Surface Preparation

Before applying the silicone coating, we clean the roof thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, and any loose materials. Power washing is often used to achieve a clean surface essential for proper adhesion.



Next, we perform necessary repairs such as sealing seams, filling cracks, and replacing damaged flashing. This preparation ensures the coating adheres uniformly and extends the roof’s lifespan.

3. Professional Application

Our crew applies the silicone elastomeric coating using manufacturer-approved methods, including spraying or rolling based on roof size and condition. We maintain consistent thickness for optimal performance.

We work within recommended temperature and humidity ranges to guarantee proper curing and performance. Multiple layers may be applied, each inspected before proceeding to the next to avoid weak spots.

4. Curing

After application, we monitor the roof as the silicone cures to ensure full adhesion and flexibility. This curing process is critical to achieving the coating’s waterproofing and reflective properties.

Finally, we perform a thorough quality check. This includes visual inspections, adhesion tests, and confirming no missed sections or thin areas. We document all results for your records and future maintenance reference.
