The flat roofs on commercial buildings require different care than residential or sloped roofs. They also face more weather-related threats that can interrupt work and cause serious damage to the inventory inside. As such, roof coating is an invaluable investment to protect your business and employees. Below, you’ll find the key reasons to consider this commercial roofing feature.

What Are the Benefits of Coatings for Commercial Roofing? 

1. Reliable Weatherproofing

Over time, beating rain and stagnant ice and snow can wear down your commercial roofing. Gradually, you may experience leaks and even serious water damage. Luckily, coating systems provide weatherproofing against even the harshest elements by deflecting water; since they’re applied in a liquid state, they don’t have any seams or patches around edges and piping where water may sneak through. They can also be applied in a slight grade to better direct rainwater or melting snow to drains.

2. Reflective Properties 

Over time, the sun can break down roofing as well. Commercial roof coating is highly reflective and will prevent UV ray damage. This can significantly increase the life span of your roof. Because heat is deflected from the building, it will also stay cooler, ensuring you don’t have to run your HVAC system excessively during the hotter months.

3. Cost Perks  

Commercial roof coating is the perfect eco-friendly solution. By restoring your roof, you’ll cut down on landfill waste. It will also reduce the need for your HVAC system, which will cut down on energy waste. This translates to monthly utility savings as well. Because it’s easier to install, you’ll even save money on service fees.
