Commercial roof coatings create a seamless waterproofing layer over your existing roofing system in order to extend the service life of your existing roofing system, removing the need for costly roof replacements.
Roof coatings can be installed on nearly every type of commercial roofing system, often extending the service life of your roof by up to 20 years. An When installed by a certified commercial roofing contractor like Simpson, most systems can be installed with the backing of a manufacturer’s material and labor warranty.
Recognizing that every roofing system is different, we’ll perform a thorough professional inspection to recommend the most suitable coating type for your specific setup (TPO vs PVC roofing, acrylic roof coating, modified bitumen roof, etc). We’ve highlighted the main benefits of coating systems here.
Contact usThorough Protection: Commercial roof coatings are also like waterproof windbreakers that offer long-term weather and water protection. And our elastomers actively resist deterioration from dirt and dust accumulation. It’s like a high-end jacket for your roof. Coatings also offer extensive protection again the biggest – and arguably least considered – enemy of any commercial roofing system: long-term heat aging and UV exposure.
Energy Efficiency: By reflecting the summer’s meanest lava-hot sun rays and lowering your building’s emissivity, a white commercial roof coating can greatly prolong the service life of your roof top units. And by massively reducing thermal transfer, that means your HVAC units are running significantly less and last longer, all while keeping your utility bills downs.
Budget Friendliness: Coating installations are relatively quick and non-intrusive, not to mention less than half the price of a poorly-maintained roof that will require a full roof replacement. As cost-conscious protectors and powerful lifetime extenders, coatings can extend your roof’s life by 5-20 years. A little now saves a lot of maintenance and repair costs in the long run.
Easy Installation: Easy to install and significantly less intrusive or time consuming than a full replacement. Commercial roof coatings also have the advantage of waterproofing inaccessible buildings or those with restrictions on hot asphalt or heat welding.
Structural Benefits: Not only is installation a breeze, but the coating itself is completely non-intrusive. With no essentially zero added weight, your building structure will remain sound and undisturbed.
LEED Credits: Commercial roof coatings reduce thermal transfer and, as a result, the urban heat island effect, putting you significantly closer to earning your building its LEED certification.
