How long does a silicone roof coating last?
Silicone roof coatings deteriorate at a very slow rate from the sun. According to the silicone roof systems manufacturer, Progressive Materials, the lifespans can span even longer than 20 years if applied correctly. The thickness of the coating determines the warranty, with 10, 15, and 20-year options available.

What are the benefits of silicone roof coatings?
Some of the top benefits include:
- Protecting against water damage
- Reducing the impact of the sun's rays
- Withstanding prolonged exposure to surface water
- Extending the life of an existing roof
- Being cheaper than total roof replacement
- Being able to be applied multiple times
- Reflecting UV rays, which can help keep buildings cool
Once installed, our silicone roofing in Fairfield, NJ provides a seamless membrane. All other systems, generally, will leak over time.

My roof doesn’t drain well. Can the silicone roof withstand ponding water?
Although we should always try to eliminate ponding water, the silicone system will not break down in time like other roof systems. To learn more about why our commercial roofers in Fairfield, NJ recommend a silicone system, call or text our team at (866) 527-6704.
-
Does this work well on metal roofs?
Absolutely. A metal roof expands and contracts over time due to hot and cold weather. This makes the fastener holes elongate and starts to open the seams, which is where leaks come from. With the silicone roof system and its reflected UV rays, this doesn't happen.
By installing the silicone seamless system over the metal roof, you can eliminate what causes a metal roof to fail. Other than installing a new metal roof, which is extremely costly, this is the perfect solution to ensure you don't have to deal with the issue again in the future. Polyurethane foam can also be installed if added insulation is required. For more information about the benefits of a polyurethane foam roof in Fairfield, NJ, be sure to reach out.

Can you walk on the roof after it's completed or do you need "walkway protectors"?
In our experience, a polyurethane foam roof in Fairfield, NJ has a compressive strength of about 45 psi which enables the roof to withstand everyday foot traffic. Protective pads are recommended around frequently serviced rooftop units.
-
Can we install solar panels over this roofing system?
Yes, solar panels can be installed over this system. This can be done along with our silicone roofing in Fairfield, NJ over an existing roof system.
-
My roof doesn’t have enough roof slope. Can the polyurethane foam help eliminate my standing water problem?
The benefit of the polyurethane foam is that we can pitch it any way which is necessary. With traditional board insulation, you put the pieces together like a puzzle and are limited to tricky low areas. With a polyurethane foam roof in Fairfield, NJ, we can spray it at any thickness at any degree of slope.
-
What are the biggest benefits of the polyurethane foam roof system?
Other than damage, most roof systems will begin to leak at the seams as they begin to open up over time. With the polyurethane foam roof system, there are no seams at the walls, units, drains, or any other protrusions on the roof. Think of your polyurethane foam roof as a bathtub with water only going down the drains or gutter systems. It's also a closed-cell insulation. On single-ply and modified bitumen roofs, the insulation, if exposed, gets wet and absorbs water. With a closed-cell insulation, the water doesn’t absorb into it.
