5 Benefits of Liquid Roofing through US Coatings
You have likely heard about clay roofs, metal roofs, PVC, asphalt built up roofing, and perhaps a few others. But what comes to mind when you hear the term ‘liquid roofing’? Whatever comes to mind, this phrase certainly is not something common to the average person when discussing roofing.
Despite the potential misconception that liquid roofing is somehow a fluid replacement for solid shingles, it is actually quite applicable and beneficial as an add-on to the different materials roofs are constructed from. So what exactly is liquid roofing?
It is more or less a process as opposed to a stand-alone product. Liquid Roofing is the process of waterproofing a new roof using specialty liquid roof coating that cures into a completely sealed membrane. This concept actually predates the 1900s, and has a multitude of benefits.
The Benefits of Liquid Roofing
While there are seemingly endless benefits to liquid roofing, US Coatings has narrowed down five specific ones here for customers considering a liquid roof for their commercial or industrial properties.
Cost Savings – The affordability of a liquid roof is not only evident in the installation process, but for your roof as a whole. Liquid roofing is traditionally applied to new roofs; however, it can easily be done to an older roof to increase the hydrophobic characteristics and prevent leaking.
Flexible Material – Because of the rubber-like nature of liquid roofing, this application can be applied to virtually every type of roof, commercial and residential. Likewise, as a liquid roof is installed, it is very easily shaped to form fit and seal around HVAC components on your roof.
Durability – Liquid roofing is a high-performance roof coating, which means it is built to last and as mentioned above, helps transform an older, worn roof into a durable, weather-resistant one. The importance of liquid roofing on new and especially older roofs is that it extends the lifespan of the roof itself.
Safe and Easy Installation – Other hydrophobic materials on the market, which include asphalt, require a process called hot work. This means the material is applied at an extremely high temperature, posing a serious fire risk to the contractors and the customer’s building. Liquid roofing is applied cold, eliminating all heat-related danger.
Environmentally Friendly – Finally, the installation of liquid roofing poses very low risk to the environment. Aside from the fact that the material itself can be solar reflective, saving on your energy bill, the fact that a liquid roof is applied directly over a roof means less waste heading for the landfill at the end of a job.
