What is a Silicone Roof?

Silicone coatings are a versatile roofing option that can be applied to most existing roof substrates. This silicone coating offers a seamless exterior and increased weather and waterproofing protection. Silicone coatings can be used for anything from small repairs to large-scale commercial roof restorations.

What is Silicone?

A silicone is a polymer product, which simply means it is composed of a particular material blend. In the case of silicone it is comprised of different inorganic materials. Described as something of a hybrid between a synthetic rubber and a synthetic plastic polymer, silicone can be used to make malleable rubber-like items, hard resins, and spreadable fluids. Developed for industrial uses in the 20th century, silicones are now used in sealants, adhesives, lubricants, medicine, cooking utensils, thermal insulation, electrical insulation and more!

How Does it Restore Your Roof?

Installing a silicone roof coating on your building allows you to renew and extend the life of your roof without having to pay for a complete re-roof. Silicone roof coatings help the environment thanks to eliminating tear-off – keeping millions of tons of waste out of landfills. They help building owners because they are less expensive than other systems and in many cases can be applied by the owner. You can find additional benefits of silicone roof coatings here.
