It’s Not Easy Being Green

Facility managers have a range of responsibilities that factor into their decisions. Projects, revisions, and repairs are often scheduled months, if not years, into the scope of their budget. Life happens, though, and sometimes, facility managers must act quickly and efficiently to provide cost-effective solutions to make necessary repairs and revisions. On top of the financial responsibility, facility managers are trying to find environmentally mindful and eco-based solutions to their issues.

If you’re considering a new roof for your large-scale project, we have a better solution. Our roof coatings offer the same benefits as a new roof, but with significantly less waste. This means you can achieve your project goals while also reducing your environmental footprint.

Roof coatings are a sustainable choice.

Unlike new roofs that require stripping off old materials, which often end up in landfills, roof coatings extend the life of the existing roof, reducing construction waste. Additionally, by avoiding a complete replacement, roof coatings help minimize the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new materials.

Reflective Energy Savings: 

Many roof coatings, particularly those in light or reflective colors, can reflect sunlight and heat away from the building. Reflective material helps keep the building cooler in summer, reducing reliance on air conditioning and lowering energy consumption. Not to mention, roof coatings have lower embodied emissions.

Lowered Embodied Emissions:

 Embodied emissions refer to the greenhouse gases released throughout a building material’s lifecycle, including manufacturing, transportation, and installation. Roof coatings generally have lower embodied emissions than new roofing materials.

Less Time = Less Mess: 

Replacing a roof can be disruptive and time-consuming. A roof coating application is typically quicker and creates less noise and dust pollution than a full tear-off.

Environmental Recognition: 

Using roof coatings can contribute to a building’s eligibility for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. This internationally recognized green building rating system encourages sustainable construction and building operations practices. These factors make your property more appealing and provide sustainable budget and bottom-line solutions.

Not all roofs are suitable for coatings. Let us walk your roof. We can assess its condition and advise you on the best course of action. Facility managers can make environmentally conscious decisions that benefit their building and planet by choosing roof coatings over a complete replacement whenever possible. We think that’s pretty cool.
