Silicone coatings are a premium elastomeric roofing solution applied over existing roof systems to extend their service life and improve weather resistance. Unlike acrylic coatings, silicone does not degrade when exposed to standing water, making it the right choice for flat commercial roofs that experience ponding after rain events. Silicone is also highly resistant to UV radiation and thermal cycling, which means it maintains its properties for decades without chalking or hardening.
A silicone coating can restore a roof that would otherwise require full replacement within a few years. Applied at the proper thickness (typically 20 to 30 mils dry film), silicone creates a seamless barrier over existing seams, fasteners, and penetrations. It bonds well to most commercial substrates including TPO, EPDM, metal, modified bitumen, and spray foam. The reflective surface also reduces rooftop temperatures, which lowers cooling costs and reduces heat stress on HVAC equipment.
Sentry Roofing uses silicone coatings on commercial and industrial buildings where long-term performance and ponding water resistance are priorities. We start with a thorough roof inspection to confirm the substrate is sound, repair any areas that need it, then apply the coating system to full manufacturer specs.
