Alliant Roofing Company would like to talk about commercial metal roof acrylic coatings. This service is relatively new to the industry, appearing only in the last 10 years. Acrylic coatings are a proven product, standing the test of time over that period. A ten-year, No Dollar Limit (NDL) manufacturer’s warranty backs up each application, making acrylic coatings a no-brainer decision.
Silicone coating options have been around for years, but those only apply to flat roofs that retain water. They are impractical on low-slope metal roofs that shed water. That is why our highly benefitted clients are commercial buildings with low-slope metal roofs, which make up a good portion of all commercial roofs. Metal roof panels last forever, but fasteners and seams are failure points. Acrylic coatings can extend the life of a metal roof for at least 10 years plus.
We continue to be a top-flight, full-service commercial roofing company. Adding acrylic coatings to our service offering is good for the consumer and good for us. It is part of our culture to stay ahead of the pack, because successful businesses cannot be comfortable maintaining the status quo. That is one reason why I attend commercial/industrial trade shows, to see what is new and what we can do to improve. It is important to keep up with trends and advances in the industry. Continuing education is especially critical, as well.
We feature Polyglass, GAF, and many other acrylic coatings, which provide a water-resistant, fully adhered, seamless roof membrane for a fraction of the cost of a new roof. In addition to extending the life of a metal roof, acrylic coatings reduce roof temperatures. They provide protection from ultraviolet sunlight and other weather exposures, too.
Typical Low-Slope, Commercial Metal Roof Coating Application
A typical, low-slope, commercial metal roof coating application takes four days to complete:
- Day One: Prepare (prep) and prime the metal roof
- Day Two: Treat all seams, flashings, and penetrations
- Day Three: Apply a base coat
- Day Four: Apply a second, final coat.
The acrylic coating sprays on and applies quickly, although weather conditions have to be right. Rain and high humidity limit its application. Excessive rust or structural damage can impede coating use, too.
Acrylic coatings are a viable solution to a longstanding problem: How to extend the life of a commercial metal roof at a lower cost than replacement. Coatings increase our ability to offer solutions in every scenario. We have the knowledge and adaptability to offer new services as they become available in the industry. It is important not just to grow, but to grow correctly and maintain our company quality standards. That is where our experience and good reputation matter most.
