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.

What Our Customers Say

Awesome company! Made the process so easy and seamless. Answered all my questions and were quick to respond

Stacey Toler

From the start Wildwood Roofing was quick to respond, they called back the day of my request even with all of the hail storms that destroyed Jefferson County. Appointment date comes and we meet Michael Painter, Mike did nothing but impress from the start. I had never needed to make an insurance claim and Mike made the whole process easy. Mike was step for step with our adjuster to ensure nothing went overlooked. Mike went above and beyond during this whole process. It took several weeks for our house to be repaired with the amount of homes damaged and Mike updated me regularly and even caught a couple things the adjuster missed on the bid. The roof and metal work turned out great!Thank you Wildwood and especially Michael Painter for helping me repair my home!-Jason R., Hillsboro MO

Fabulous to work with. Excellent workmanship and on time

Steve

The sometimes-dreadful thoughts one might have when needing a new roof, along with getting quotes, dealing with insurance adjusters and claims, and the inconvenience during construction, can be a daunting experience; however, this couldn’t have been further from what our experience was with our recent new roof and gutter replacement by Wildwood Roofing and Construction.We were referred to Elliot Emann of Wildwood Roofing and Construction when our home had hail damage. Elliot performed an assessment of our home and thoroughly went over the damages we had, as well as meeting with our insurance adjuster to go over the damages he found.With Elliot’s guidance and findings, the initial insurance claims process was quick and seamless. Within only a few weeks of filing our claim, construction was underway. The Wildwood Construction crews were polite, respectful of our property, worked diligently, and cleaned up all construction debris, finishing the project in an expeditious manner.From the initial damage assessment of our home through the final project closeout, we did not experience any sales pitch pressures or tactics from any of the staff with Wildwood Roofing and Construction. Elliot’s main focus was ensuring we were happy and satisfied with the process, schedule, and construction.Without reservation, I highly recommend Elliot Emann and the services of Wildwood Roofing and Construction.Rick Rohlfing
