Incorporate metal roof restoration coating systems into your service offerings

Metal roofs eventually face problems such as rust, ultraviolet deterioration, photo-oxidizing, and a variety of weather-related damages.

 

In today's tough economic times, having a lower price (and higher profitability) option to replacing a customer's wearing metal roof is a huge advantage. A quality metal roof restoration coating can keep an existing metal roof safe and secure for years to come, takes less labor and time to install, and has a higher profit margin than re-roofing.

Restoration coating systems greatly extend the life of an existing metal roof, forming a strong, protective barrier to prevent rust from forming on steel surfaces. Even where rust has a strong foothold, special anti-corrosion contents act to inhibit further spread of the oxidation process, and heat stress is reduced with the high reflectivity of the coating material.

Because they reflect up to 80% of the sun's ultra-violet rays, metal roof restoration coatings help reduce roof expansion and contraction, and prevent premature deterioration by providing a sacrificial layer to the elements, which helps to increase the servicable life of a metal roof. During summer months the high reflectivity helps to lower cooling costs, and during winter months reduces the amount of heat emitted at night, ultimately reducing heating costs.

Roof System Installation
The preparation for applying coatings over metal is actually fairly minimal. First, any loose scale, peeling paint, and rust are removed. Then the necessary metal repairs are made to prevent further deterioration. Flashings, curbs and other projections are repaired and reinforced, and finally all dirt and debris are removed and the entire surface is cleaned, often by pressure washing with water. A primer is applied before the application of the complete waterproofing system and final top coat.

Since little or no roof membrane is removed during restoration, interruption of building activity is minimized and the reuse of the existing roof not only saves tear-off and disposal costs, but contributes to the reduction of roofing-related landfill waste, which is estimated to be 25% of all landfill content in the United States.
