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

This company did an excellent job on my roof & we’re very efficient!

Robert Rocha

I had an excellent experience with Wildwood Roofing. William was great to work with start to finish. I was pleased with the finish product and the follow up after the completion of the project.

Ryan Keller

I chose Wildwood because they had the lowest bid and I was impressed with their webpage, reviews, and prior jobs they show on their website. During the job, they found cedar roofing that was under the old shingles. It cost me an extra to get them removed and it took an extra 2 days over what they stated. Overall, I am happy with the job. My house looks great and had no leaks that I am aware of. After a week after my roof was completed, some of my siding came off where it met the shingles, but they came out and fixed it for me. Some people may care about wanting to have American workers to get the job. The roofers that came to my house, didn’t speak english, played spanish music while working, and most likely from South America. It didn’t bother me, but some people may want to pay for American workers.

Wildwood Roofing did an unbelievable job on my roof. They walked me through how to deal with my insurance company. They told me what to expect on timing and showed up like they said they would.The roof they installed was way better than the roof I had in the past.Even my neighbor (Who’s retired) across the street from me said they did an amazing job.He asked me for their name and number because he wants to do some work with them.Great job Wildwood Roofing and thank you very much for making the entire process painless.Brian Chrisco

Elliott was a terrific salesman and provided great advice on our roof replacement. He is a great professional. The job was done well and his follow through terrific.

Jim von der Heydt

Used Wildwood Roofing for the repair of a roof when I was preparing to sell a house in Manchester. Caleb was very responsive to questions regarding the quote and even came out to meet with my insurance claims adjuster to work things together. The work was scheduled and completed on the day they said it would be and the guys were very efficient at getting it done. The company was even responsive after the work to get some paperwork I needed to close on the house.My issue I had (and discovered a month after they had completed their work) was some of the old roofing material was allowed to fall into the attic space. When I was in the attic fixing some issues prior to the sale, I found the material and was a little disgusted it was allowed to fall in where it did.Overall, I would recommend working with this company.
