SHIELD YOUR ROOF: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO METAL ROOF COATINGS
Metal roofs are becoming more popular thanks to their myriad benefits compared to traditional roofs made of wood or tile. They reflect radiant heat for improved energy efficiency, are more durable against extreme weather, and are safer and more sustainable than alternative roofing materials, among many other advantages. However, metal roofs aren’t without their drawbacks; they’re susceptible to water damage and corrosion, and can be significantly less durable at lower qualities. To make the most out of your metal roof and avoid dangerous and expensive damage and repair, they can be protected with polyurea metal roof coatings.
WHAT ARE POLYUREA
METAL ROOF COATINGS?
Polyurea metal roof coatings leverage the strength and durability of one of the coatings industry’s most robust materials technologies to protect or repair metal roofs. Polyurea is a safe and effective polymer coating material that can be produced on-site using high-pressure spray equipment. It’s famous for its versatile physical properties, which can be tailored for specific applications, and bring a unique combination of strength and flexibility. Polyurea roof coatings are easily applied, and set within minutes to see faster project timelines and a quicker return to service. To top it all off, they’re also made of 100% solids, and with no solvents or volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), making them a safer and more sustainable solution.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF
POLYUREA METAL ROOF COATINGS?
Polyurea metal roof coatings enjoy the many benefits of a premier coating technology. They’re waterproof and corrosion resistant that make them perfect for wet and humid environments, and can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations without breaking a sweat. They’re compatible with a variety of roofing materials, adhere strongly to metal surfaces, and are quick and easy to apply for lasting protection or any easy solution for repair or rehabilitation.
01
WATERPROOF
Newsflash! Roofs – get wet. We know, it’s shocking news to everyone. Jokes aside, what’s really shocking is the number of home and business owners that assume their roofs are waterproof and watertight, without the help of any additional protection. Polyurea metal roof coatings create a watertight barrier that insulates metal roofs from moisture and protects structures from water infiltration and damage.

04
MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY
You may be convinced to choose one coating or another, but the reality is often that you’re restricted by your roofing materials. Different coatings have different compatibility with unique substrate materials, making them better or worse depending on the roof in question. Polyurea coatings are extremely versatile, and strongly adhere to most types of metal roofs, whether they’re made of aluminum, copper, or steel.
05
EASE OF APPLICATION
Roofing is serious business, and takes expert teams of skilled professionals to construct, repair, and protect roofs. Installing robust coatings systems can be time consuming and expensive, and risks damaging your roof in the process. Polyurea roof coatings are easy to apply, and installed with high-pressure spray equipment that fills every gap and evenly coats surfaces with high-quality polyurea for lasting protection.
METAL ROOF REPAIR
Polyurea coatings offer 2-in-1 functionality; they’re capable of serving as a durable protective barrier, as well as a powerful method of metal roof repair. Their application with high-pressure spray equipment means that every crack and gap can be filled and repaired, and without any reconstruction or risk of further damage to roofing materials or other building elements. Perfect for new and old construction alike, whether you want to protect a new roof from day 1, or renovate your dream home as new, polyurea metal roof coatings are the ultimate repair and preserve technology.
FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
