What Is a Fluid-Applied Elastomeric Roof System?

Commercial roof coatings provide an additional layer of protection between the base roofing materials and the elements; commercial roofs are routinely exposed to UV radiation, rain, high and low temperatures, and chemicals. Roofs are vulnerable to these potentially damaging environmental factors due both to 24/7 exposure and breaches in the roof’s protective envelope.

Our fluid-applied elastomeric roof system makes it easier than ever to protect your roof. These materials are easy to apply and can create a seamless membrane that’s waterproof and versatile. This coating works with almost all roofing materials—such as asphalt, bitumen, concrete, and felt—and can flow around obstructions like roof penetrations and heated welded fixtures.

Waterproof roof coatings need a seamless application process like sprays or roll-applied materials. This ensures that the final product is also seamless and not prone to leaks. Along with being seamless, our elastomeric products are self-adhering and don’t require fasteners (which can create weak points in a waterproof seal as well). Our solution also doesn’t require flashing around pipes or other fixtures. The roof coating simply conforms to the surface of the roof, regardless of its shape, penetrations, or other obstacles.

Commercial Roofing Systems

Commercial roofing systems face special challenges during construction and maintenance due to being flat, needing to support large installations and potential foot traffic, and heavy exposure to chemicals and the elements. Because of these specific needs, our product team at Specguard has created a wide range of specialty products built for every layer of a commercial roofing system. Our team works with each of our clients to create a personalized combination of layered materials to build a roofing system that’s the perfect fit for their building’s requirements and environment.

Benefits of Elastomeric Commercial Roof Systems

Specguard’s unique elastomeric commercial roof system presents several advantages for building owners and managers, including:

• A seamless, waterproof design that protects the underlying building from leaks, ponding water, and excess moisture.
• Easy installation with no need to remove existing surface layers of the roof.
• Simple maintenance and repair due to the seamless and simple design.
• Self-adhesion and compatibility with most roofing materials.
• Energy efficiency, because the UV-resistant material and white color reflect heat away from the building.
• Extended lifespan of the roof due to UV resistance, seamlessness, and resistance to water penetration.
• Cost-effectiveness due to the ease of installation, the low maintenance demands of the roof coating over time, and the ability to significantly extend the roof’s lifespan and minimize the risk of costly water damage to the structure.
