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.
1The roof is thoroughly washed and cleaned with a rust removal compound.- 2A metal roof primer is applied over the existing roof. This improves adhesion with the restoration material.
- 3All seams are taped with reinforced fabric.
- 4The taped seams are then covered with a heavy base coating.
- 5All fasteners (screws) are then hand-caulked to ensure waterproofing.
- 6A final, highly reflective topcoat is applied over the entire system.
Metal Roof Restoration Benefits
Like most roof restoration services, a metal roof restoration offers specific benefits for your commercial metal roof.
- Longevity – Your roof will last decades longer with regular metal roof restoration services.
- Waterproofing – A quality metal roof restoration seals any leaks, closes off penetrations and provides a long-lasting, waterproof layer.
- Rust Inhibition – The rust removal compound combined with the waterproofing capabilities eliminates rust and decreases the potential for a recurrence.
- Cost Savings – On average, restoring your metal roof will cost around half of a total roof replacement.
- Time – Restoring your commercial metal roof takes a fraction of the time necessary for a tear-off and replacement. Your business can even remain open for business throughout the entire process.
- Eliminates Waste – No premature replacement necessary. Without tear-off, there is reduced waste in our landfills and less resources necessary to produce new materials.
- Energy Efficient – The reflective white color of the final topcoat reflects solar heat away from your building, keeping it more comfortable and reducing cooling costs.
