Liquid Silicone & Roof Health

While liquid silicone is a great way to keep your roof in good shape, there are things to consider before coating your roof in silicone.

• To be eligible for a silicone roof coating system, your roof needs to be:

  • Less than 25% saturated

  • Have seams that are in good/decent condition

  • Needs to have been maintained year after year

   
  Don’t wait to see help once your roof is already leaking, this could prevent you from being able to use liquid silicone to protect your roof. To prevent the issue before it happens, one of our roofing specialists can perform a roof inspection to determine the health of your roof.

In order to properly install liquid silicone coating, you need to ensure your roof is prepared correctly. Though application may seem similar to that of painting a wall, there are important questions to consider before applying liquid silicone to your roof.

• Will the liquid silicone coating adhere correctly to your existing roof?

• Do you need a primer prior to coating your roof?

• What method should be used to coat your roof: roll or spray?

• How thick does the coating application need to be in order to guarantee the manufacturer warranty?

• Are the seams treated appropriately?
