Published by Eileen Porzuczek on November 4, 2024

If you’re researching or looking to make a roofing decision, you’re probably aware of EPDM, TPO, BUR, Rolled Asphalt, and other technologies that may have already come and gone. Today, fluid-applied roofing and some silicone based solutions are now some of the fastest growing systems in the commercial roofing industry.

Our team of restoration experts would like to share some insight into how these systems work and what you can gain by using them. To learn more, check out the answers below to 4 frequently asked questions we hear.

1. How do silicone restoration solutions work?

Silicone restoration solutions use fluid-applied technology to create multi-layer membranes on-site to restore your roof to top performance. This new roof acts as a waterproof shield on your property’s roof and reflects heat.

2. How long can these solutions last?

Silicone roof systems, being inorganic, are resistant to damage from many nature-related things. Consequently, their working life exceeds most materials on the market. We even offer 15 and 20 year comprehensive Labor, Material, and Workmanship warranties that are backed by out manufacturers. These warranties reflect our proven quality control processes and are further validated by a manufacturer’s third party inspection. This way you can feel confident in your roof’s performance for years to come.

3. What benefits can I gain from restoring with a silicone system?

There are many functional benefits you can gain from restoring with a silicone system, including:

Corrosion prevention
Thermal shock damage and UV deterioration protection
Severe weather durability
Water repellent technology
Minimal disruption during installation

Besides the functional benefits listed above, there are also many sustainable and economical benefits to these solutions as well. For example, since restoration doesn’t require a complete tear off and replacement, you don’t have to dispose of as much waste or pay to have that waste disposed of into a landfill. While this is just one example, there are many benefits in these areas to explore with your trusted partner depending on your needs and goals.

4. How do I know if a silicone system is a good option for my property?

To identify if a silicone system is a good option for your property, you will need to understand the current saturation of the existing surface and any structural damage that may be present. Additionally, you will need to consider whether a silicone system is the best restoration solution for your existing substrate. If you’re unsure about whether a silicone solution could be a good option for your property, reach out to a trusted specialist to better understand your options and the best solutions available. This will help you make the best decision for your property.
