ADVANTAGES OF AN ELASTOMERIC COOL ROOF COATING

Elastomeric Roof Coatings have the ability to save money, energy, reduce air pollution and significantly reduce land fill waste.

The advantages and benefits of a Cool Roof System are:

• Elastomeric "Cool Roofs" are installed directly over existing roofs.  This elminates the costly tear-off and waste delivered to landfills.
• Elastomeric Coatings can be applied repeatly compared to convention roofing systems that need to be removed due to heavy weight factors and the added stress to building structure members.
• Elastomeric Coatings are a seamless membrane that become part of the substrate with excellent adhesive ability.
• Elastomeric Coatings are a breathable membrane that allow moisture to escape, but will not allow moisture to penetrate.
• Elastomeric Coatings are highly resistant to ponding and exhibit fire retardant properties.
• Elastomeric Coatings reduce air pollution and help reduce "Urban Heat Island" effects to improve our enviroment.

Energy Benefits:

• Elastomeric "Cool Roofs" reduce roof surface temperatures by 50-80 degrees F. This reduces the amount of heat radiated into the building and  reduces the stress on HVAC Systems. Utimately, this saves energy consumption and benefits the environment.

• Durability and Longevity - Many Cool Roof systems are renewable. Asphalt products by themselves undergo a degradation process which is caused by high temperature and ultraviolet degradation. Cool Roof products tend to protect a conventional built-up roof better because they have UV inhibitors built into their formulation. Once a Cool Roof system using a fluid-applied coating has been in service for 10 to 15 years, it can easily be pressure washed for maintenance and repair. The surface can then be recoated and typically, a new warranty is issued to the building owner, making this type of Cool Roof system both durable and affordable.
