Elastomeric Roof Coatings For Improved Durability and Weatherability

Elastomeric roof coatings are the surfacing component of the two-part spray polyurethane foam-based (SPF) roofs. For more information about the substrate for SPF roofing systems, visit our polyurea foam page. Elastomeric roof coatings are also commonly used on metal roofs.

Elastomeric roof coatings provide many benefits to the roofing systems they cover, including promoting energy efficiency and durability. They are also simple for a qualified roofing contractor to apply—elastomeric roof coatings are often spray applied, but the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) says that hand and power rollers can be used as well. Your roofing contractor should be able to point you to the right application method for your facility’s roofing system.

Weatherproofing the substrate

Standards for elastomeric roof coatings

Elastomeric roof coatings cover the substrate—either polyurea foam or metal, or sometimes even tar roofs—and protect it from the sun and harmful UV rays, as well as providing waterproofing and abrasion resistance. It forms a durable membrane unlikely to tear or leak. Elastomeric roof coatings additionally provide further fire resistance to the roofing systems it coats. The durability and strength of the roofing system means that you will probably spend less time repairing and replacing your roof, especially if applied correctly.It is important, however, to have your elastomeric roof coatings applied by experienced roofing contractors to ensure the quality and longevity of the overall roofing system.

The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends that all elastomeric roof coatings meet the standards set by ASTM. One such standard, ASTM D6947, regulates coatings used in SPF roofing systems, such as elastomeric polymer coatings. To pass the benchmark set by ASTM, elastomeric roofing coatings must pass a series of tests measuring tear resistance, water absorption, and temperature resistance.These tests are designed to ensure the quality of elastomeric roofing coatings bearing the ASTM D6947 standard. A roofing contractor will be able to guide you toward coating manufacturers that adhere to this—and every other—ASTM standard pertaining to elastomeric coatings.

brian burke

Mike B was a great communicator and explained the process clearly. Mike was very professional and advocates for his customers with adjusters on behalf of his clients. The whole process of the roof installation was seamless and every detail was tended to. Very happy!

Beth Shackelford

Caleb Hahn did an exceptional job of getting my roof replaced. He worked with my insurance company and was able to make the whole process go very smoothly! Caleb was very professional and did things in a timely manner and communicated with me through the whole process. He always answered my texts or phone calls and was kind and patient!!

Avery O’Connor

I had a new roof put on by Wildwood and they were great throughout the entire process sans a minor hiccup with processing payments online (that said, they at least have a means to accept it, which is more than I can say for some other contractors). Luke was our project manager, and he was very present throughout the entire process. He showed up for the insurance adjuster inspection, drove out on short notice to climb onto the roof and spray sealant on a leak as a stopgap, and was here during the entire installation.I live in south city in one of those cookie-cutter, gingerbread sorta houses, and it took the crew less than 6 hours to completely strip and install a new roof on my house. It was kind of incredible honestly. The crew cleaned up well after themselves, and the best part was my installation date was moved up ~5 weeks from the initial estimate due to some found time on the schedule.I’ll be recommending these guys moving forward, though a note: you should really get your online payment system fixed and to the point where you’re not charging a surcharge for card payments. It’s 2023, it’s time. Everything else was perfect though, and that’s not enough to dock a star off the rating since it was at least an option to begin with.

Sam Schirmer

Working with the professionals at Wildwood Roofing could not have been easier. From the very first visit to the final clean-up I’d give Wildwood Roofing a 10 and recommended them to everyone!
