Elastomeric Roof Coating
These roof coatings are waterproof and offer excellent UV protection for your roof.
Elastomeric roof coatings come as a liquid coating and can be applied to almost all roof surfaces. Elastomeric roof coatings help reduce heat damage by 90% and reducing the cost of energy by 50%.
The fact that it is waterproof makes this roof coating preferred by owners of commercial buildings. It can also expand and shrink as the weather changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the elasticity of these coatings prevent roof leaks?
Elastomeric coatings can expand and contract up to 500% without cracking or losing their bond to the substrate. This allows the coating to stretch over moving seams and joints as the building shifts during Georgia’s extreme temperature changes. This “memory” is what makes it a superior choice for roof leak repair in Atlanta.
Will an elastomeric coating help with the structural integrity of my roof?
While these coatings provide an incredible watertight barrier and UV protection, they are not structural components. If your roof deck is sagging or the metal panels are rusted through, a coating will not fix the underlying problem. It is designed to preserve and protect a roof that is still structurally stable but needs a new roofing service layer.
How does the application of a liquid coating reduce business downtime?
Because the coating is applied via spray or roller, there is no need for heavy machinery, hot asphalt kettles, or the noisy removal of old materials. Your business can continue to operate normally while a professional roofing contractor installs the system. This makes it the least disruptive option for retail centers and office buildings.
What is the typical thickness of a professional elastomeric application?
A high-quality application usually results in a dry film thickness of 20 to 30 mils, which is about the thickness of a credit card. This thick, rubberized membrane is what provides the 50% energy savings mentioned on the service page. A thin “paint-like” application will not provide the same roof maintenance benefits.
Are there different types of elastomeric coatings for different roof surfaces?
Yes, there are acrylic, silicone, and urethane versions, each suited for specific environments and substrates. Silicone is excellent for roofs with flat spots, while acrylic is often the most cost-effective for metal surfaces with good drainage. Your Atlanta roofing company will select the chemistry that best fits your building’s specific needs.
