Reflective roof coatings are the fastest-growing
product segment in the fluid-applied roofing market. Cool roof coatings lower energy consumption and meet more stringent cool roof performance requirements in the building
codes. They restore, protect and beautify most
waterproofing systems and prolong the life of almost any low-slope or metal roof.White coatings extend the life expectancy of many different types of commercial roofing systems simply by avoiding the high roof temperatures associated with exposure to the sun. They aren't just for warm weather climates either: the New York City Department of Buildings launched the volunteer-based NYC Cool Roofs Program in the spring of 2010.
Coatings can also waterproof and extend the lives of older roofs. Roof coatings can protect the integrity of a metal roof by reducing thermal-shock roof damage. A cool roof coating moderates the excessive thermal expansion and contraction that otherwise could lead to fastener and seal failures.
Roofing contractors considering adding roof coatings to their service offerings should know that the elastomeric coatings market accounted for $620 million in 2004 and has grown into the double digits over the last seven years. This is definitely an opportunity to increase revenues and profits as the labor, labor hours, material costs, and disposal needs are significantly less than traditional re-roofing.
