Step 3: Coat
Application of Protective Coating: Step 3 of 3 (Foam Roofing Installation)
Two layers of a specialized acrylic based coating are applied to the seamless foam roof substrate. The final layer is a Cool Roof coating. The physical characteristics of these layers of elastomeric (heavy duty acrylic) coating are matched to the foam to maximize the performance of the foam roof system. The layers of coating protect the foam from the gradual ultraviolet degradation that would otherwise slowly wear away the roof surface.
The final step: specialized elastomeric coating layer is applied.
Coating Prolongs the Life of a Foam Roofing System
The protective coating can be renewed to prolong the service life of a foam roof throughout the life of the building. This is one of the most remarkable features of a Dura-Foam roof. As the coating degrades over the decades, new layers can be applied preserving a foam roofing system indefinitely.
The finished product can last the lifetime of the building.
Re-Coating Extends Life of Foam Roofing Systems
Without rubberized acrylic coating, a foam roofing system would eventually degrade due to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Dura-Foam encourages customers to follow the 5&25 maintenance plan to extend the life of their foam roofing system, which can last the lifetime of the building.
