Membrane Coating System

Understanding the Membrane Roof Coating System and Its Importance

Roofing materials vary significantly in their type and quality. Therefore, you need to understand your options and the benefits you can reap from them. This way, you can make good decisions concerning your roofing system.

One of the best choices for existing flat (low slope) roofs is the membrane coating system. This page will help you understand membrane coating and its importance.

What is roof membrane coating?

Membrane coating is specially designed to stop leakages and all problems that result from traditional roofing designs. These include shorter lifespans, higher maintenance, and difficulty in sealing seams. The membrane coating system covers various existing roofs, including:

• Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

• Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO)

• Thermoplastic Polyolefin Elastomer (TPE)

• Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM)

The Importance of Membrane Coating Roofing Systems

Older and worn roofs are often subject to all kinds of damage, including water damage. And without the right maintenance, it is only a question of time when leaks and moisture enter your building. A roof replacement might be inconvenient, while roof repairs might not resolve the issues completely. In this case, installing a roof membrane coating system may be the ideal solution.

After proper roof preparation, a professional installer from Golden Commercial applies the membrane coating with sprayers, and after drying, the coating creates a highly reflective surface with waterproofing capabilities. Read on to discover more benefits.

Uniform and Seamless Membrane

A membrane coating is sprayed on the roof, covering the entire surface. Sommers Roofing will spray it in a way that forms a uniform and seamless membrane with no seams, penetration holes, or joints. This way, the membrane covers and protects even the weakest points on your roof.

Quick and Easy Installation

Unlike roof replacement, membrane roof coating does not require tearing off a roof. The coating is applied to the existing roof membrane, thus saving time on tearing off and disposing of the old roof.

Excellent Waterproofing

Membrane coatings offer excellent waterproofing due to their seamless and uniform application. Further, the flexible roof coating system can expand and contract when the building contracts due to temperature variations. This eliminates the risk of damages and leaks.

Longevity

A membrane coating can significantly extend your roof’s lifespan and make it more energy-efficient. This premium roofing option can serve you for more than a decade with proper maintenance.
