It seems that many of us who are
concerned about our roofs will do anything we can in order to protect them as
best as possible. In this regard, if you wish to be on the safe side by
protecting your roof properly, it would be a good idea to take a look at how rubber roof
coating can help you with this. There are actually two reasons to why you will
have to consider it and one of them includes lower monthly bills due to better
insulation and at the same time, you won’t need to repair or get your roof
re-laid so frequently.
Understanding
roof coating
In general, rubber roof coating is
water based and are better known as latex coating in a plethora of polymers. So
basically it’s a liquid carrier which is placed within a thin coating. However,
you should know that regardless of the surface in your roofing, you will be
able to use it in any part of it without problems. In some cases, they can be
rolled. Sprayed or even brushed to metal, asphalt, polyurethane and bitumen
roofs.
Maintenance
You need to also take maintenance
seriously and after you apply the roof coating you will have to properly
maintain it. Generally, white coatings will be considered for roofs in arid or dusty
areas. What this means is that those environments will cause the roof to have
dust, dirt, debris and other materials accumulating on it. This will be the
especially when windstorms will come. If it’s not cleaned, it can cause surface
issues and discolorations and at the same time, discoloration will not be as
strong. It needs to work very well, because one of the reasons people consider
it is to help them lower their electricity bills.
In terms of when the roof needs to
be cleaned, this will only depend on the weather, on the roof and on the type
of rubber roof coating used. While some people will clean their roof every
three years, it’s also not a problem if they will do so every seven years. No
special skills are required for this and you can either do it on your own or
you can call a professional. Eventually, it will all boil down to whether you
want to do this on your own or whether you’re too lazy and just want to have a
professional do this instead. Not only that, because he will also output better
results in a shorter period of time.
UV protection
It seems that rubber roof coating
will also block out the UV rays from the sun, protecting your roof effectively.
Reflectivity though will be affected in time by the accumulation of foreign
particles, but this can be renewed through the addition of extra layers of
topcoat. This is way faster to be applied compared to the initial coating.
Based on where you live, region and climate, it’s advised you repaint your
coating very three to five years. If you want to know more about this, just get
in touch with your local roofing companies. They will offer you ideas and
recommendations depending on the type of roof you have, size and so forth.
