Roof CoatingA roof coating is an additional layer of protection placed on a finished roof. Functioning as a means of enhancing the roof’s ability to remain undamaged from rain, hail, wind and sunlight, the coating is usually in the form of a thin membrane that seals the materials used to create the roof, effectively establishing a barrier between the elements and the actual roof. When applied correctly, a roof coating can add years to the life of just about any type of roof.
One of the more practical aspects of applying a roof coating has to do with waterproofing the roof, including any sections where flashing is used as part of the roof design. The application of this additional layer helps to bind roof flashing to the asphalt, shingles, or metal panels that are used for the roof. Not only does the coating help make the roof less susceptible to leaks, it also means less opportunity for continued exposure to rain and humidity to hasten the deterioration of the materials used to build the roof. |
