Elastomeric and Silicone Roof Coatings – Roof Insulation
At Iowa Spray Foam Insulators, LLC, we provide professional elastomeric roof coating services tailored to meet the needs of commercial and industrial buildings throughout Des Moines, IA and surrounding areas. Elastomeric roof coatings applied on top of closed cell roofing spray foam is an ideal solution for flat or low-sloped roofs, offering durability and energy efficiency. Depending on your roof’s condition, an elastomeric roof coating alone may provide the protection and performance you need.
Elastomeric Roof Coatings
Closed cell roofing spray foam is a denser product than standard closed cell spray foam designed for interior applications. It is designed to withstand foot traffic and resist damage from hail and other inclement weather. While closed cell roofing foam is generally waterproof, it requires an elastomeric coating to protect it from UV damage. This elastomeric roof coating also enhances waterproofing, providing an additional layer of long-term protection.
Elastomeric coatings come in many different types: Silicone, Acrylic, and Urethanes. At Iowa Spray Foam Insulators, LLC, we primarily use silicone roof coating.
Silicone Roof Coating
Silicone roof coating is a layer of silicone that is rolled or sprayed onto a roof to provide a durable, seamless layer of protection that helps extend the life of your roof while improving weather resistance.
Benefits of Silicone Roof Coating
At Iowa Spray Foam Insulators, LLC, we apply high-quality silicone roof coatings that stand up to ponding water, UV exposure, and harsh Midwest conditions. Just some of the benefits of silicone roof coatings include:
Leak Prevention and Waterproofing
Silicone roof coatings form a seamless, watertight membrane that helps stop leaks before they start. Its ability to resist ponding water makes it especially effective for flat and low-sloped roofs, providing reliable, long-term moisture protection.
UV Ray Protection
Silicone roof coatings reflect harmful UV rays, reducing heat and sun damage that can cause roofing materials to break down. This protection helps maintain the integrity and performance of your roof over time.
Durability and Longevity
Engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, silicone roof coatings resist cracking, peeling, and erosion from rain, hail, and other extreme weather conditions. Its durability helps extend the life of your existing roof and reduces the need for frequent repairs.
Energy Efficiency
With strong UV ray reflective properties, silicone roof coatings reduce heat absorption and help keep buildings cooler during warmer months. This can improve indoor comfort and contribute to lower energy costs.
Flexibility and Versatility
Silicone roof coating remains flexible in both hot and cold conditions, allowing it to expand and contract without cracking or splitting. It can be applied to a wide range of roofing materials, making it a versatile solution for many commercial buildings.
