If you’re a commercial building owner in Omaha and have been considering commercial roofing services, you may have come across the popular silicone roof system. Silicone roofing systems are gaining popularity for a lot of reasons, the main two being their resistance to UV and water deterioration. Silicone has been developed over many decades for many different applications.  Most silicone roof products today are a strong, UV resistant, moisture curing, non-chalking, environmentally friendly product.

What is Silicone Roof Coating Installation?

Ease of installation is one of the big strengths when it comes to silicone roof coating restoration for your commercial roof in Omaha. If your roof is old, leaking, losing energy, getting too hot, a silicone restoration can give your roof new and long lasting life. The process is quick, easy, and effective for decades. We simply power wash your existing roof, treat all penetrations and seams, and spray on the silicone coating directly onto your existing roof. 

What are the benefits of Silicone Roof Coatings?  

• Single Coat Application – Silicone roof coating has a higher solids content than other less expensive roof coating systems. Because of this they can be applied in a single thick coat without compromising on quality and effectiveness. This translates to savings on labor costs and time on the roof. The additional benefits of a thick application allow us to correct minor slope problems and reduce ponding water on your roof.  

• Primer is Rarely Necessary – Another big benefit of applying a silicone roof coating system is that it will not need a primer in most cases. Typically, silicone coating can be applied directly to the existing roofing surface after a power wash. Again, this results in lower labor costs and lower material costs. An adhesion test is always performed to ensure you don’t need a primer, and in depending on what you’ve had done to your roof in the past, in most cases, no primer is needed. 

• Performance is Tough to Beat – Thanks to its formulation that allows it to moisture cure, silicone forms an impermeable membrane that can resist ponding water better than any other coating on the market. Silicone coatings will maintain their adhesion and remain leak-free even when under the pressure of ponding water. There are few, if any other coatings that can say the same. Because silicone coatings are specially formulated to be non-sacrificial, they don’t chalk away over time. There will be wear and tear and they will need to be eventually recoated, but they last much longer than most other coatings. Lastly, silicone roof coatings are extremely resistant to UV exposure. Their UV resistance performance was the attribute that propelled them to into the roofing market, and still remains one of the biggest selling points.
