From heavy rainstorms to the sun’s intense heat, your commercial roofing system is constantly exposed to the elements. This can lead to rapid weathering of the membrane, which is why business owners invest in GacoFlex™ Silicone Roof Coating Systems. To make informed decisions on how to care for the roof on your business, learn about how silicone roof coatings work and the associated advantages. 

What GacoFlex Silicone Coatings Do

Business owners use silicone coating as a cost-effective, restorative alternative to re-roofing the membrane. Roofing contractors first perform an infrared inspection to determine whether any water-clogged areas, such as wet insulation, need to be removed and repaired. Next, they power-wash the membrane and reinforce the seams.

While in fluid form, the silicone is sprayed or rolled directly on the surfaces. The liquid seeps into seams, cracks, and other openings before it cures. Once dry, the coating prevents harsh UV rays and moisture from penetrating the membrane.

How Silicone Roof Coatings Benefit Businesses

Investing in GacoFlex silicone coatings will help reduce your business’s maintenance expenses. The roof coating application will cost less than continuous roof repairs or a complete replacement.

The silicone won’t deteriorate when exposed to UV rays or standing water, which will keep the commercial roofing system intact. The silicone also covers seams, cracks, and other openings, preventing heat transfer and air loss to keep energy bills low. The material resists stains and mold growth as well, which will boost the curb appeal of your business.
