Waterproof roof coatings are a great option for flat or low-slope roofs.
When it comes to the roof of your Jacksonville, Florida property, you likely know that it needs to be maintained on a regular basis for it to continue to function as it should. What you might not know is how waterproof roof coatings play into how well the roof performs.
Waterproof roof coatings are specialized liquid-applied membranes that protect roofs from water damage and increase their lifespan. These coatings form a seamless barrier across the roof surface, preventing moisture from penetrating the structure. They are typically used on flat or low-slope roofs, which are more prone to water pooling and leaks than steep-slope designs. Ultimately, waterproof roof coatings can help alleviate many common roofing issues, including leaks, UV damage, and thermal expansion and contraction.
Our team at Jacksonville Roofing USA offers a selection of waterproof roof coatings, including acrylic and silicone. Each style has advantages and is appropriate for specific temperatures and roof materials. Silicone coatings, for example, are very resistant to standing water and UV radiation while acrylic coatings are popular due to their low cost and simplicity of application.
It’s also worth mentioning that waterproof roof coatings can improve a building’s energy efficiency. Many coatings are reflective, which means they deflect sunlight and limit heat absorption, resulting in lower indoor cooling expenses. Additionally, because these coatings may be reapplied over time, they provide a long-term alternative to full roof replacement by increasing the longevity of the existing roof system.
