Silicone Roof Coatings: A Durable, High-Performance Solution

When it comes to commercial roof restoration, choosing the right coating is crucial for durability, energy efficiency, and cost savings. At St. George Roof Coatings, we specialize in silicone coatings with high solids content, enhanced by a self-leveling epoxy primer for superior adhesion and performance on low slope roofs and modified bitumen systems. While other roof coatings, such as acrylic coatings, polyurethane coatings, seamless membrane systems, roof membranes, and asphaltic rubber membranes, are available, our highly reflective silicone coatings stand out for many roofing applications, including single ply membranes and existing roof systems. Here’s why this combination is often the optimal choice for your commercial roof restoration project in Southern Utah.

Our silicone coatings, paired with an epoxy primer, offer unmatched benefits for low slope roofs commonly found in Southern Utah’s commercial buildings. The highly reflective properties of these coatings reduce heat absorption, enhancing energy efficiency and lowering cooling costs in St. George’s intense climate. Unlike other roof coatings, our self-leveling silicone formulations ensure a smooth, seamless finish, providing exceptional waterproofing and resistance to UV rays, chemicals, and weathering. Whether restoring modified bitumen roofs or single ply membranes, we tailor each concrete coating project to your building’s needs, ensuring long-lasting protection and minimal maintenance. Compared to alternatives like acrylic or polyurethane coatings, silicone coatings with high solids content deliver superior durability, making them ideal for Southern Utah’s harsh conditions.

Why Silicone Roof Coatings Excel:

• Superior Water-Shedding: Silicone coatings are exceptionally resistant to ponding water, a common challenge on flat or low-slope commercial roofs. Their moisture cure properties ensure excellent weatherability, even under prolonged exposure to harsh conditions.

• UV Protection: These coatings provide outstanding defense against UV rays, making them ideal for the intense sunlight and temperature extremes of Southern Utah. The 100% silicone roof system reflects solar heat effectively.

• Longevity and Durability: Silicone coatings maintain flexibility and excellent adhesion over time, offering long-term protection without becoming brittle, even on existing roof surfaces exposed to the elements.

• Energy Efficiency: With high reflectivity and emissivity, the reflective properties of high solids silicone reduce heat absorption, lowering cooling costs and enhancing indoor comfort—crucial for energy savings in hot climates.

The Epoxy Primer Advantage:

• Enhanced Surface Preparation: The epoxy primer levels out surface irregularities on single ply membranes or existing roof systems, ensuring the silicone coating adheres perfectly with excellent adhesion.

• Increased Durability and a More Durable Finish: It strengthens the bond between the roof and the 100% silicone roof layer, withstanding temperature extremes and harsh weather for a robust, long-lasting finish.

• Extended Roof Life: The combination of epoxy primer and high solids silicone forms a resilient system that can significantly prolong your roof’s lifespan, reducing landfill waste by avoiding premature replacements.

Silicone vs. Other Coating Options:

• Acrylic Coatings: Cost-effective and reflective, but they struggle with ponding water and harsh weathering, requiring specific climates and surface temperatures for curing.

• Polyurethane Coatings: Known for impact resistance, these require multiple layers applied with spray equipment or a spray gun, increasing labor and expense compared to a single component silicone system.

• Asphaltic Rubber Membranes: Useful for repairs but not ideal as a primary coating due to limited versatility and specific application needs.

In contrast, silicone coatings with an epoxy primer offer a complete solution—waterproofing, UV resistance, and durability—in one efficient application, outperforming alternatives like spray polyurethane foam or traditional roof membranes.
