A commercial roof is a thing of beauty. Strong, resilient, able to stand up to the harshest of weather conditions, while providing continuous protection. However, they are not infallible. Time, weather, and sun can cause devastating results. To protect that metal roof, improve the lifespan and protection, plus increase energy efficiency, a metal roof restoration is a positive solution.
The Metal Roof Restoration Process
The process involved in a quality metal roof restoration involves 6 key steps.
- Clean & Wash the Roof1The roof is cleaned with rust remover to properly prepare the surface.
- Apply Metal Roof Primer2Primer is applied so the water-tight coating bonds to the metal roof.
- Tape All Seams3Reinforced fabric is applied to strengthen seams and eliminate leaks.
- Cover Seams with Base Coat4Seams are coated with a heavy base coating for added waterproofing protection.
- Hand-Caulk Fasteners5Each fastener is hand-caulked to help prevent water intrusion around screw heads.
- Apply Reflective Top Coat6A reflective top coat is applied to protect the roof and improve energy efficiency.
