Some thoughtful insights on Rubber Roof Coatings & their benefits

The roof protects the building from Mother Nature’s destructive forces and endures harsh weather conditions. Repairing roof leaks or replacing the entire roof is a situation that every homeowner has to face at some point in time. Installing a new roof is a long, expensive and troublesome endeavor that’s why most people opt for applying rubber roof coatings.

What are Rubber Roof Coatings?

As a homeowner, you will certainly think of rubber coatings only good for flat commercial roofs or roofs with cement underlayment with the intent to protect the roof from water ponding. But rubber roof coatings are as useful and good for residential roofs as they are for commercial roofs. Rubber roof coatings contain a bucket of liquid roof which is mixed with a catalyst to stimulate curing process and applied to the roof. Most roof coatings need two to three coats to achieve a smooth finish while EPDM Coating’s Liquid Rubber only needs a single coat, thereby reducing both labor and product costs.

Do Rubber Roof Coatings really waterproof?

Unlike other roofing materials, Liquid Rubber roofing 100% water proofs the roof the moment it is applied. Liquid Rubber is actually the liquidize version of EPDM rubber and as in liquid form it can easily reach those far of areas where the sheet version of EPDM rubber can’t reach. Liquid Rubber can endure a temperature swing, that’s why it is even used for the radiator hoses in our cars.

What types of roof can benefit from Rubber Coatings?

Most of the residential and commercial flat roofs can get benefit from rubber roof coatings. Though the type of roofing material used on your roof will determine the need of any under-coat or a primer. Metal stainless roof and asphalt shingle roofs will definitely need a primer. There are many rubber roof coatings available on the market but EPDM Liquid Rubber coatings stand out and are unique on all fronts. EPDM Liquid Rubber is a one coat system DIY product which saves both labor and product costs.
