Our commercial roof coatings can be a cost-effective alternative to roof replacement for some roofing systems.
Is your commercial or industrial roof old, worn, or experiencing chronic leaks? Roofing Of Memphis offers commercial and industrial roof coatings designed to help protect against exposure to sun, wind, rain, and other harsh environmental conditions. Our roofing contractors are experienced in waterproofing and sealing many types of commercial roof systems, including metal, asphalt, and single-ply substrates.
Many business owners choose to have their roofs coated for three main reasons: to extend the roof’s service life, to create a “cool roof,” and to provide an extra layer of protection against foot traffic, hail, and other physical threats.
Regular roof maintenance can extend the lifespan of your roof and save money on a premature replacement. As a trusted Memphis roof repair contractor, Roofing Of Memphis will give you peace of mind that your home is protected.
The more protective layers you add to your roof, the less likely things are to harm it. For example, ensuring your roof is waterproofed – and that any cracks or gaps are filled in – will help prevent water incursion. Roof leaks can cause a tremendous amount of damage, even if they’re relatively small; over time, they can become exponentially worse. In fact, roof leaks never get better with time and can contribute to significant structural damage.
Roof coatings may help provide an additional layer of protection against environmental exposure, including weather-related wear and certain types of impact.
A cool roof is designed to reflect sunlight. Though many roofs already reflect some sunlight, adding a coating can increase your roof’s efficiency at doing so. When your roof reflects more sunlight, it may help reduce cooling demands and lower energy costs. Cool roofs absorb less solar energy (in the same way that wearing light-colored clothing helps you when you’re out in the sun).
Here’s some food for thought: A conventional roof’s surface temperature can reach 150 degrees F (or more) on a hot, sunny day. Depending on the roofing system, coating type, weather conditions, and other factors, cool roofs may maintain lower surface temperatures than conventional roofs. The right type of coating can help you lower the surface temperature of your building’s roof. In some situations, lowering roof surface temperatures may help reduce cooling demands and improve energy efficiency.
A roof coating adds an additional layer over the roofing surface that may help reduce exposure to certain physical and environmental stressors such as hail, debris thrown around during storms, and in many cases, even foot traffic. The roof coating acts like a topcoat that increases your roof’s lifespan and keeps it safer from punctures, tears, and normal wear-and-tear.
Commercial roof coatings provide an added layer of protection that helps extend the life of your roofing system while improving its overall performance. These advanced coatings help shield your roof from UV rays, moisture, chemicals, rust, and harsh weather conditions, reducing the risk of leaks and premature wear. They also improve roof reflectivity, helping lower roof surface temperatures and reduce heat transfer into your building. This can increase energy efficiency, lower cooling costs, and provide long-lasting protection for your commercial property.
As a professional, locally owned roofing company, Roofing Of Memphis supplies commercial roof coating systems from established manufacturers to maximize the efficiency of your commercial or industrial roof.
The following coatings are available for application:
Acrylic roof coatings are a good choice for this area because they can withstand a wide range of regional temperatures and weather activities. Acrylic is a water-based solution, which means it pairs well with many different roof types. People choose acrylic roof coatings when they’re looking for a good balance between performance and cost. These coatings are also very reflective and resist ultraviolet rays. However, the thickness of an acrylic roof coating does degrade over time and with sun exposure.
Reflective roof coatings help reflect ultraviolet rays so that the roof doesn’t absorb as much heat as it ordinarily would. Reflective roof coatings may help reduce roof surface temperatures, which can contribute to improved energy efficiency in some buildings, while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. These types of coatings may help reduce exposure to UV-related wear and other environmental factors that contribute to roof aging just by virtue of creating a protective layer.
Silicone coatings don’t typically need a primer, which means that they’re often easier to apply and result in a durable finished product. These types of roof coatings don’t erode easily – and they’re ideal for buildings that are exposed to heavy rainfall and areas prone to ponding water. These reflective coatings are typically a little costlier than other types, but many property owners choose silicone coatings because of their exceptional durability and resistance to weather exposure. One thing to note, though, is that silicone coating systems can catch dirt and dust, which can temporarily reduce reflectivity over time. However, they’re easy to wash clean and maintain, making them a prime choice for many facility owners.
Elastomeric roof coatings are designed to provide excellent flexibility and resistance to a variety of weather conditions. They expand and contract with the building, allowing them to stand up to storms and seasonal temperature shifts while resisting UV rays. These coatings are very durable and are more affordable than many other premium coatings. However, elastomeric roof coatings are generally better when they’re combined with other types of coatings; they’re sometimes used as a highly effective base coat for other systems, and they perform best on sloped or properly pitched roofs.
Metal roof coatings are designed to help improve resistance to environmental exposure such as intense sunlight, precipitation, and temperature fluctuations, ranging from sun damage and ultraviolet radiation to ice, hail, and rain. These specialized roof coatings can even protect your roof panels from rust, which causes severe structural damage over time. (Certain coating systems may be applied over properly prepared rusted areas to help slow further deterioration.) Additionally, these coating systems are applied over seams, exposed fasteners, cracks, and other intricate roof details to drastically improve water resistance when used as part of an appropriate maintenance solution.

Roof coatings may help improve reflectivity and energy efficiency, which can contribute to reduced cooling demands in some situations, increase your roof’s reflectivity, and create an additional layer of protection against the elements. If your roof has been damaged in the past, or if it’s at risk for damage, you may wish to consider a roof coating as part of a strategy to improve roof performance and manage environmental exposure.
Roof coatings can help improve water resistance and may address certain leak-related issues when applied as part of an appropriate roofing solution. Combined with proper insulation, roof coatings may help improve overall roof performance and energy efficiency. For some property owners, roof coatings can be a cost-effective option for extending roof performance and improving reflectivity without the high cost of a complete teardown.
The type of roof coating you choose depends on the roofing materials you have, your budget, and what types of physical threats your roof faces on a daily basis. For example, if your roof is subject to a lot of falling debris from storms because you’re near a wooded area, you’ll want a different type of coating than you’d want if you were only concerned about maximum reflectivity. Your Roofing Of Memphis expert can help you determine what type of roof coating is right for your building, as well as provide you with a comprehensive quote for the entire project.
