Ultra White Elastomeric Roof Coating is a tough, highly flexible, rubberized roof coating. This is a high-performance, elastomeric roof coating that resists cracking and peeling. The coating also provides a highly protective barrier which reflects the sun's heat and destructive UV rays.
This is a great application over metal roofing systems for building such as warehousing, farm and ranch, commercial and industrial. It is highly beneficial product in the agricultural industry livestock, equine, poultry and pig farms. Reduction in heat makes for lower energy bills and happier animals.
Liquid Applied Roofing Solutions can help extend the life of structurally sounds roofs through their ability to eliminate many failure points associated with many aging low slope roofs. Liquid applied roofing can also help add solar reflectivity properties to dark colored roofs greatly reducing energy costs.
A liquid-applied roofing system consists of multiple components that come together to form a fully adhered, seamless, and self-flashing membrane. Components include liquid applied coatings and mesh membranes to create a true liquid membrane system that preserves and protects the integrity of the building.
Roof Coatings are designed for extending the life of existing structurally sound roofs. GAF Roof Coatings are specially formulated to extend the life of roofs while protecting them from damaging effects of weather and the environment such as UV light, water and wind. GAF offers roof coatings in a variety of different technologies such as acrylic, silicone and polyurethanes to meet many different building needs and budgets.
GAF, Tropical and Mulehide offer multiple liquid-applied roofing system solutions, each designed for specific applications and conditions. These solutions each feature a liquid-applied component that creates a seamless, chemically resistant barrier to external elements. They can be installed over most existing roof types, eliminating the need for tear-offs or installation of recovery boards. No hot kettles, no expensive installation equipment, and no special seaming devices are required.
Elastomeric acrylic roof coatings provide excellent durability and can be installed over existing modified bitumen, built-up, concrete, metal, or single-ply installations. These coatings are reflective and very easy to install and maintain. GAF is the leader in acrylic roof coatings, having supplied nearly a billion square feet of product throughout the last 5 decades.
A liquid-applied roofing system is comprised of multiple components that come together to form a fully adhered, seamless, and self-flashing membrane. GAF Liquid membranes may be used for preserving existing roofs as well as in new roof applications. Components may include liquid applied coatings and mesh membranes. A true system preserves and protects the integrity of the building.
GAF offers both high solids and solvent based silicones. GAF silicones provide superior weatherproofing, ultraviolet resistance, and resistance to biological growth that helps protect against damages from ponding water. Silicone roof coatings also “chalk” less than standard acrylics increasing the time required between recoating. These products also tend to be used in high-moisture climates for their fast-drying characteristics.
Fluoropolymer coatings provide the ultimate in reflectivity, color stability, algae resistance, and weatherability over new or existing roof surfaces. Although they are highly flexible, they exhibit a tough, enamel-like finish that resists abrasion, biological growth, dirt, acid rain, and many weather extremes.
Urethane technologies from GAF provide high abrasion, impact, and chemical resistance with simple installation characteristics. They allow for great versatility in protecting a wide range of substrates from the effects of weathering and moisture intrusion. Urethanes are ideal for both high traffic areas where roofs may be walked on frequently and are an ideal solution for areas of the country where hail damage is a concern.
Water intrusion, such as through leaks or condensation, is the number-one challenge for most exterior construction surfaces. This results in deteriorating substrate conditions, interior and property damage, devaluation of the structure, and interruption of occupancy
Cracks, damage, and points of failure in existing roof systems often cause headaches for building owners. The issues may be merely cosmetic, or they could be symptoms of much more serious structural issues beneath the surface.
When structures are utilized to house people or inventory, it can be very costly to perform large repairs or interrupt occupancy due to access requirements, toxic fumes, or temporary exposure to elements.
Many regions face ocean salt spray, intense sun, unstable ground, or blowing wind and rain. In addition, many industrial processes release corrosive gases and residues that attack traditional roofing materials.
When determining the best solution for an exterior surface, local building codes, energy costs, and effect of absorbed heat must be considered.
Years of ultraviolet exposure, polluted air, and dirt and debris can wreak havoc on surfaces, making them appear faded and inconsistent.
In many cases, property maintenance is tied to visual appearance, and lesser quality coatings require more frequent maintenance and recoats.
Some applications require complex patterns, designs, and wide color palettes to meet the application or designer requirements.
