Roof Sealant

When you buy a metal roof, you are under the impression that it is supposed to last virtually forever. Unfortunately, for many people this is far from the truth as the ravages of time and the weather tend to have a very adverse effect on the lifespan of all roofing materials including metal. This is true even if your new metal roof is painted or covered with some form of roof sealant that is guaranteed by the factory that made the roof. Even though your roof may have come pre coated from the factory it is not going to last as long as it would if you have an extra layer of protective roof coating applied once the roof is installed. In the last few years scientific research has greatly improved the quality and durability of roof coatings for metal and any other type of roof.

Many of them are now polyester or acrylic based and can be applied without worrying about them being toxic or the odors being too harsh to work around. On top of this many of these new types of roof coating can be easily applied directly onto the existing roof structure without the need to remove the old coatings first. Removing the old coatings used to be an expensive and time consuming process that often left you with a toxic mess to clean up. The only areas you need to clean up are around chimneys, air conditioning units or any other fixture such as vents that come up through the roof. You should clean the old roofing and caulking from around them and recaulk them before you apply the new coating. Applying a new roof coating to your metal roof has several advantages; first and foremost it provides an extra layer of protection from the elements. When the sun is beating down on your roof in the middle of summer the new coating help to reflect the heat instead of absorb it, this can have a significant effect on lowering your air conditioning bill. In the winter it acts as an extra layer of insulation helping to reduce your heating bill.

A new roof coating is designed to reflect the sun's UV rays by as much as 90%. Not only does this help to extend the life of your coating, but it helps to preserve the life of the original roofing material beneath it. Most coatings also add an extra layer of strength to the overall structure and can help protect it from future damage due to things like the wind and winter weather.
