As a result of long exposure to the elements a building’s roof goes through extensive wear and tear. This is caused by extreme weather conditions, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays and expansion and contraction under fluctuating temperatures. Also, silicone does not require any heat based installation methods, so it is much safer and quicker to install. The application of silicone is not only meant for bitumen systems, but also metal, TPO and PVC.

Instead of completely replacing a still largely functional roof which could be a huge expense, a more cost-effective option would be to apply silicone roof coatings. These are applied to the roof’s surface in two or three coats and help plug any cracks or damage, and in turn add many years to the life of the roof. Also, before the silicone is administered, we will cut and replace any bubbling or severely damaged bitumen membrane areas and replace them with modified bitumen. We only use Silicone for roof coating applications versus traditional elastomeric due to the fact that elastomeric has a specific resin which, within 3-5 years, will dry up and cause premature cracking. This will require reapplication of the elastomeric to ensure the system is sealed tight.
