Polyurea roof coatings are one of the strongest waterproof and protective barriers for a variety of low slope industrial, commercial, and residential roofing structures. Used to protect and waterproof, polyurea is an excellent alternative to other roofing methods. A polyurea roofing system will waterproof and protect your structure against damages caused by inclement weather, expansion and contraction with temperature changes, abrasion, high and low-impact stressors, and corrosion.
As far as protective coatings go, polyurea will prolong the lifespan of your structure while requiring minimal repairs, replacements, and general maintenance. Here’s why:
There is a paradigm shift happening in the roofing market today. Liquid coatings have become more and more popular over the last number of years and polyurea is the next stage in this industry’s evolution. Fluid-applied coatings can go directly over an existing roof, with polyurea being able to go over concrete, metal, mod bit, EPDM, wood, PVC, TPO, BUR and more.
As you are able to go over the existing roof, no roof cutters or prying tools that can cause debris to go “flying” are required. There is no hauling of debris across a roof to toss it into a dumpster. No hot asphalt that can penetrate a deck and seep into a unit below. Additionally, fluid applied roofs require a much smaller crew for application with no seams, no flames or torches, no glues, no forklifts, etc., reducing the risks of roofing significantly.
There are a number of different liquid waterproofing solutions available. While silicone, rubber or acrylic roof products have their benefits, and negatives, polyurethane and polyurea roofs stand head and shoulders above the rest, particularly in our Canadian climate.
As wonderful as polyurethane is as a roofing option polyurea is like polyurethane on steroids. Polyurethane roofs can be installed in half the time of a more traditional roofing system, with polyurea reducing this to a quarter of the time. Additionally, with liquid roofing requiring fewer crew members to install than the traditional roofing systems, polyurea reduces the size of the crew required even further.
