Protect Your Roof’s Integrity Quickly & Cost-Effectively
What if you could protect your low-slope roof with a durable coating that would extend its useful life while reducing energy costs?
Good news—you can. Elastomeric roof coatings install over metal, modified bitumen, single-ply membrane, and built-up roof (BUR) systems. For many building owners, these coatings are an affordable way to protect the integrity of their low-slope roofs. Our commercial roof coating services use elastomeric technology to protect low-slope roofing systems efficiently.
Elastomeric Roof Coating Benefits
Roof Protection: Elastomeric roof coatings seal the roof surface, protecting it from rain and wind damage — ideal for commercial roof coating applications. The elastomers resist deterioration from dirt and dust accumulation.
Energy Efficiency: White is the most common color for elastomeric roof coating because it reduces thermal transfer by reflecting searing-hot sunrays away from the roof. This cool roof reflectivity lets your HVAC unit run less, saving you on utility bills and prolonging the life of the units.
Coating Cost: Elastomeric roof coatings cost substantially less than replacing the roof entirely. Budget-conscious facility owners can save money while extending the life of their roof 5 to 10 years or more.
Quick Installation: Elastomeric roof coatings go on quickly, meaning we won’t be hanging around your facility for weeks on end. We’re in. We’re out. You’re set.
LEED Credits: Cool roofs that contain elastomers can help meet LEED, Energy Star and other energy code requirements. In addition, a cool roof reduces Urban Heat Island Effect so your community will benefit as well.
Structural Benefits: Elastomeric roof coatings do not add dead weight to the roof, so there is no detrimental effect to your building’s structure.
Why Choose Our Commercial Roof Coating with Elastomeric Technology?
The rubber-like components of elastomeric roof coatings expand when warmed by the summer sun and they return to their original state as they cool down after sunset. This intrinsic “memory” reduces the risk of hardening and cracking, so your roof lasts longer.
Because these coatings reduce energy costs, you might qualify for a business tax incentive. Talk to your accountant to find out if installing elastomeric roof coating qualifies you for an energy rebate. Tax incentives further reduce the facility owner’s expense, making elastomeric roof coating even more economical.
The demand for reflective roof coatings is surging, and North American Roofing is a leader in cool roof technology. We work with all the top roof-coating manufacturers, and we’re committed to helping our customers get the best roof protection possible for their investment dollar.

Silicone
Pros
Ideal solution for humid climates
Hydrophobic properties actively repel water
Inorganic – cannot be broken down by UV rays
Non-porous so algae cannot adhere to coating
Cons
Super-slick when fully cured – Granules for traction enhancement can be added to uncured coating
Acrylic
Pros
Optimal for use in dry climates
Great resistance to radiation and hail damage
Excellent reflectivity for energy conservation
Easy to work with and very economical
Cons
Poor performance in rainy, humid environments due to promotion of algae and mildew growth
