Roof coating is a relatively thin layer of a suitable material that protects the roof surface from the effects of the elements. So, investing in roof coatings is a great way to increase the longevity of the roof and also add to its aesthetic appeal. The many different types of roof coatings available on the market can make it difficult to choose the right one for your roof. However, don’t worry, as we at Kingdom Coatings have made a list of factors to consider before making that all important decision.
1] Condition of the Roof
The most important factor to consider is the condition of your roof. Is it leaking or badly damaged? Does it often rain in your region, leaving your roof mostly wet? Is it essential to get a waterproof roof coating or will a simple reflective coating get the job done? For example, silicon roof coatings are ideal for wet roofs and even serve as a reflective coating for sunnier days. Rubber roof coatings are a great option for leaking roofs, while other roof coatings types are ideal for supporting a damaged roof.
2] Purpose
Why do you think you need a roof coating in the first place? Is it because you want to deal with leakages in your roof? Or is it because you want to keep your house cool in summers? Depending on your need, there’s a type of roof coating for you. A simple acrylic roof coating can be a great inexpensive choice if all you want is something to reflect the UV rays away. However, if you wish to keep your home warm, anti-reflective rubber roof coatings are the best bet.
3] Climate of Your Region
Do you live in an area that withstands extremes of temperature? If yes, then a reinforced roof coating is what you should be looking for. Extreme temperatures can cause expansion and contraction of the roof coating and the reinforcement provides it with the additional strength to withstand the resulting stress. Our roof coatings also have good weather adaptability.
4] Drainage System of your Roof
The drainage system installed in your roof is another factor that determines your choice of a roof coating. The slope of your roof (1/12 slope or more), the occurrence of ponding water, the presence of internal drains or edge-mounted gutters, are all factors that play a role. Most roof coatings have a defined set if criteria and you may have to make some corrections.
