Roof Coating
Nothing makes a statement more than having a fresh coat of paint on your roof. Aside from giving your home a unique identity, it also works to protect your roof and make it sturdier. Roof coating is essential, especially if you want to add another layer of protection to your house’s first line of defence.
One of the best things roof coatings can do to your roofing is protect it from leaks. Since these coatings are elastomeric, meaning they are essentially elastic, they can stretch out and fill the gaps on the roof. This sort of protection minimises the chances of leaks which can be damaging to your ceiling.
Coatings are also incredibly effective if you’re living in countries where the weather can change quickly and without warning. Countries situated in Southeast Asia are especially susceptible to these sudden changes in climate, and these changes can damage roofs reasonably quickly. That said, a roof coating is a must if you’re residing in Singapore.
There are also different types of coatings to choose from, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Despite the differences, there are still qualities they share in that they all work to protect your home from damage associated with weather.
01.
UV Resistant
Some coating types are highly UV resistant. We all know the damage that UV rays can cause, and having this ability ensures that they will not be easily damaged over time. In fact, a good coating can last up to 25 years when applied and maintained correctly, so if longevity is what you’re going for, it can certainly live up to that goal.
02.
Highly Reflective
Roof insulation is also one of the concerns when it comes to roofing. While the roof over our heads protects us from heat or retains heat within our homes when it’s cold outside, the heat gets trapped within our homes when we don’t have proper insulation. But since coatings are highly reflective, they can also act as our roof insulation, protecting us from heat.
03.
Corrosion Resistant
One of the main concerns, when we have metal roofing, is the threat of corrosion. While some metal roofing materials can also resist corrosion, those with metal roofing materials that can’t withstand it can use the help of coatings. This ability can also be directly attributed to its elasticity and water resistance.
04.
Environmentally Friendly
Some coatings are built to be more environmentally friendly. Take silicone roof coating, for instance; this particular coating has qualities like being silicone-free which makes it less likely to cause damage to the environment. With taking care of the environment particularly prevalent in countries like Singapore, roofing materials also follow suit and strive to take care of the environment.
Types of Roof Coatings
1. Acrylic Coating
The best thing about acrylic coating is that it can adapt to different surfaces, which means that this type of coating can handle whatever surface you have for your roofing. Suppose you also want to use this coating for different areas of the house; you can do that without needing to use other products alongside the coating.
2. Polyurethane Coating
Polyurethane coating has the unique distinction of being considered the toughest and most durable type of coating. With the ability to prevent ponding or forming of small puddles on the roof and being highly resistant to heavy impact, this coating is ideal for areas in Singapore where strong roofing is needed.
2. Highly Reflective Solar Coating
Insulation is one of the essential parts of roofing. Aside from getting the proper roof insulation for your home, heat reflective coating can also provide additional insulation for the roof. This coating is good at reflecting solar radiation, making your home cooler in the process.
