Low slope and flat commercial roofs can be harder to maintain than the high slope roofs more common in residential buildings. Not only do these roofs collect more water, which can be damaging to any roofing material, they take a lot more direct sunlight, which means damaging UV rays. Rather than trying to keep up with replacements, patches, and other costly maintenance, though, there is an easier way to keep your roof in great shape: silicone roof coatings. A roof coating can reduce the wear and tear on your roof, restore a damaged or failing roof, and can even reduce your energy bills.

Why Choose Silicone Roof Coating?
The best option for restoring and prolonging the life of commercial roofs is a silicone roof coating. First, silicone has the advantage of being easily bondable to many different surfaces. A silicone roof coating can be applied to virtually any roof, no matter what material was used. This is especially important for refurbishing older roofs that may not be compatible with newer coating options. Beyond this though, silicone roof coating is especially water resistant and can stand up to pooling water a lot longer than other types of coating. It is a bit more expensive than other options like acrylic roof coating, but well worth the cost.
Silicone roof coating is amazingly durable, and will not crack or peel under high-UV conditions or serious weather damage. So, while it may be more expensive up-front, it is a great investment that can save you from needing re-applications down the line, or — even worse — a full roof replacement. All of this makes silicone roof coatings a great option flat commercial roofs that tend to collect pooled water. It can be applied to metal, polyurethane foam, single ply membrane roofing, and just about any other material you can think of.
