subject: The Benefits and Advantages Of Roof Coating [print this page] Having your roof coated doesn't just provide you with a great looking roof, there are many advantages to roof coating that offer protection and preservation for your roof from all kinds of problems that would otherwise be unobtainable.
The first, and most apparent advantage of roof coating, is the prevention of leakages. The roof coating seals the roof from external damage such as weathering, corrosion, abrasion, under creep and UV oxidation. In addition to that, the coating is also incredibly reflective so the sun's rays are bounced back, reducing the heat transfer through the building and keeping temperatures at a comfortable level inside and your air conditioning bills down.
Roof coating can also withstand thrashing rain and hail, which is a regular occurrence in the UK, without becoming damaged or less efficient and it doesn't possess any of the nutrients necessary for algae, mildew, black mold and/or mussels to thrive in. It rarely requires any maintenance, which is another great advantage, but should any damage occur to the roof, it's a simple job that can be carried out quickly and easily. The coating also has excellent adhesive properties that have the ability to stick to damp surfaces with no problem or risk at all and remains flexible through many years of punishing service.
Benefits aside, roof coating is an extremely cost effective alternative to getting your roof replaced which could cost you a fortune and would not offer you the same benefits. Roof coating is also fire retardant and gets a fire rating of Class "A" whilst also retaining flexibility in sub-zero temperatures and meeting V.O.C. emissions regulations by reducing air pollution. It is incredibly popular among medium to large businesses for their premises because of the energy saving properties and protection against many elements.
