TecTopics: Benefits of Roof Coatings
Excellent adhesion to most roof substrates
- EPDM, TPO, and PVC
- Asphalt/modified bitumen
- Metal
- Concrete
- Extends the life of the roof system
- Reduces material and labor costs
- Building code does not consider coatings restorations as an additional roofing layer, meaning a tear-off is not required
- Roof coating restorations can be considered a maintenance expense, allowing owners to avoid the capital expenditure for a new roofing system
- X-Tenda Coat XTRA silicone is 93% solids by volume, meaning a better dry film thickness per typical application (better coverage per coat)
- X-Tenda Coat XTRA silicone is rain safe in 15 minutes, allowing for more time on the roof with bad weather in the forecast
- With zero or minimal tear-off required, less waste goes to landfills
- X-Tenda Coat acrylic is water-based, making it environmentally friendly and easy to clean up during application
- X-Tenda Coat products are either low-VOC or VOC-compliant and solvent free
