Acrylic coatings are water-based, elastomeric roof coatings applied directly over an existing roof membrane to restore and extend its service life. They form a seamless, reflective surface that reduces heat absorption, lowers cooling loads in warm months, and protects the underlying membrane from UV degradation and weathering.
For commercial and industrial buildings, an acrylic coating can add 10 to 15 years to a roof that still has structural integrity but has lost its surface protection. The cost of a coating is typically 20 to 40 percent of a full roof replacement. Acrylic coatings perform well on metal roofs, spray polyurethane foam systems, and single-ply membranes. They require the roof surface to be clean and dry at application, and they perform best in climates where prolonged ponding water is not a concern.
Sentry Roofing evaluates your existing roof to determine whether an acrylic coating is the right solution or whether more extensive repairs are needed first. We apply coatings to manufacturer specifications to ensure you get the full warranty coverage available.
