Silicone Vs. Acrylic Coatings in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Homes are much cooler now with reflective roof coatings- lowering the expense of Swamp Coolers and A/C units. As a result the ROI is substantial. No other Flat Re-Roof Solution can give you the ROI of Silicone White Coating .

It's the Best External Home Improvement investment you can make in your home.

THE BENEFITS OF COOL, WHITE/OR LIGHT-COLORED SILICONE ROOF COATINGS ARE NUMEROUS

• Energy Savings 15% - 30% +
• Easier to spot and repair leaky areas due to damage.
  
• Photovoltaic Panels (PV) panels are a perfect match for cool roof coatings
  because they can be seamlessly waterproofed around the support/racking
  system. They also increase electricity production by 4% or more, due to lower roof temperatures
• No Tear off (of your old roof) is necessary. This keeps our landfills free of tons of debris and lowers the cost of your project.
• We can Coat over your existing old Foam, TPO, Acrylic Coating, Roll Roofing, or Tar & Gravel roof depending on conditions.
  

Now we arrive to the Scientific properties of Silicone and the reason for the 50 Year Material Warranties.

• 96 % Solids means very little product is waisted vs 70% Solids for Water Based Elastomeric Coatings.
• Low Chemical reactivity: Grease vents from restaurants don't harm it.
• Low toxicity - So safe baby bottle nipples are made from silicone.
• Thermal stability over extremely wide temperature range: -100 to 250 degrees.
• Adheres well to almost all roof types: TPO, Tar & Gravel, Roll Roofing
  (Modified Bitumen) , EPDM
• Resistance to Oxygen, ozone, and- MOST IMPORTANTLY - ultraviolet (UV)
  light gives Silicone one of the Longest Warranties in the Roofing
  business. (50 Years)
  

Silicone is the smart choice when compared against any acrylic roof coating. A silicone restoration membrane delivers superior UV resistance, adhesion, and reflectivity.

UV Resistance - Unlike acrylic roof coatings that chalk, discolor, crack and haze when exposed to ultra-violet rays, silicone restoration membranes provide an in-organic, high solids elastomeric roof coating that will not degrade, chalk or crack under even the most extreme UV attack.

Stays Strong in Ponding Water - Traditional elastomeric/acrylic roof coatings are water-based and cure when water evaporates. When ponding water is present on roof surfaces for a period of 48 hours or more, acrylic roof coatings can begin to re-emulsify to their liquid state and lose adhesion. In contrast, silicone coatings cure and cross-link by reaction with moisture in the air. Silicone cannot re-emulsify due to exposure to standing water. Progressive Materials Silicone, is a non-water based, high-solids silicone roof coating. As such, when ponding water is present, PM's adhesion to the roof substrate is not affected.



Reflectivity Saves Energy - Using white silicone roof coating on a roof saves building energy use by as much as 15% to 30%+.
