There are several options available when undertaking a re-roofing project. Sorting them out before bidding is the best way to assure you choose the most appropriate roof system for the building.
Determining the appropriate coating material and application technique is just part of what is covered during the initial and ongoing training and support for contractors who become Conklin Roofing Systems Independent Business Owners (please see video below for more information).
For example, liquid applied roofing systems are highly useful as re-covers for weight sensitive applications such as pre-engineered steel buildings:
Coated-polyurethane-foam systems are excellent for adding insulating value to a re-cover roof and fixing slope-to-drain problems, and for those in more arid regions they also have the benefit of being sensitive to humidity during installation:
Squeegee-applied roof systems are mostly used to prolong the life of an existing smooth-surface roof. They are an effective, low-cost alternative to re-roofing but are not necessarily a permanent replacement. Newer liquid-applied roofing systems can last as long as 10 years, but the roof has to be in fairly stable and dry condition when the new liquid membrane is applied.
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.
