Protect and Prolong your Commercial Business's Roof.Roof coatings help prolong the life of your roof by providing additional support and protection to your business's roof base. These coatings help deflect common roof hazards which cause where and tear on your roof over time. The most common roof coatings available are silicone, urethane, acrylic and polyurethane. Of these four coatings, acrylic is the most commonly used. Acrylic roof coatings effectively minimize the harsh effects of ultra-violet light, extreme temperatures, mildew, normal foot traffic, and even building movement. It does not exude toxic fumes and consists of non-flammable material. It is a water-based system, so you can apply it safely in virtually any situation. All roof coatings are generally a liquid-applied system which will bond to any Metal Roofs, Modified Bitumen, most Singly-Ply Membranes and BUR (Built-Up). The extreme durability of roof coatings, especially Acrylic, stands up effectively to common deterioration. Proper cleanings, defect repairs, and re-coatings can also help extend your current warranty life. Most coatings come with renewable warranties. So reinforcing your current roof system with roof coatings can potentially make this the very last roof you will ever need. Anytime you start to think about installing a new roofing system or repairing your current roof, you must consider roof coatings as part of that installation. It is well worth the investment as the advantages and benefits will eventually pay for themselves as the years go on. Additionally, roof coatings are considered maintenance items. So they are 100% deductible for that year. This differs from a re-roof which will have to be deducted over years time. You should verify your decisions with your tax consultant to determine the best situation for your business. |
