Are you worried about your roof’s lifespan? Do you want to get the absolute most out of your current roof system? Acrylic roof coatings might be the answer. Acrylic—or elastomeric—roof coatings provide metal and low-slope roofs with an extra layer of protection. This protective layer also comes with improved style and more peace of mind.
When you own a business, you need to know you are protecting your company and employees. But you also need to know that you are getting your money’s worth out of every last bit of your building. Acrylic coatings are perfect for helping you keep your business dry while you prepare and plan for the future of your building’s roof.

The Benefits You Get from an Acrylic Roof Coating
Acrylic elastomeric roof coatings are commonly used in both commercial roofing and residential roofing projects. Many benefits come with these coatings, thanks to their strength, durability, easy application, and chemical composition.
Waterproofing
These coatings are designed to provide long-term waterproof protection that keeps you safe and dry during the harshest storms. The thick layer of elastomer polymer creates a barrier against the elements and improves water drainage, protecting the roof from long-term water damage.
Less Dirt And Staining
Unattractive stains and dirt can build up even on sharply tilted roofs. The slick surface of an elastomeric roof coating can prevent unsightly buildup and stains that would otherwise affect your building and business.
Extended Lifespan
When you aren’t quite ready to install a new roofing system, acrylic and elastomeric roof coatings can extend your roof’s lifespan with many more years of service. This coating is perfect for giving you time to save up or allowing you to hold off installation while other renovations are complete.
Energy Savings
Acrylic roof coatings also provide a reflective surface that helps keep the building cool, improving energy efficiency. The thick layer of acrylic provides a barrier against UV radiation that can damage even the toughest of roofing systems. Additionally, white acrylic coatings effectively prevent light and heat absorption.
Attractive Colors
Furthermore, these roof coatings come in colors, and they can be tinted while they’re being applied, allowing customers to match them with their existing colors. If you have just rebranded, you can easily match your new colors! You don’t have to break the bank if you have renovated and need to update your roof.
Fits Almost Any Roof
Applied at thicknesses five to 10 times that of exterior house paint, these coatings create a seamless membrane that fits the specific needs of each roofing project, providing long-term protection against extreme weather conditions. Whether your roof type is low-slope (“flat”) or high-slope metal, these coatings can renew and revitalize your roof for many more years.

Disadvantages of Elastomeric Roof Coatings
As professional roofers, we offer our insights into why you might consider a different restoration system for your building’s roof. You shouldn’t trust a business that only tells you the good – you should always get the full picture from a knowledgeable professional.
The major disadvantage of acrylic roof coatings is that they are water-based. This property leads to three major issues:
- Ponding water can break down the surface, so flat roofs such as single-ply roofing systems should have adequate drainage for these coatings to be appropriate.
- The coating will freeze in cold temperatures, so it must be applied during warmer months.
- Acrylic roof coatings age more quickly than a full roofing system, particularly in harsh environments.
Always discuss your building’s needs and environment with your roofer. You have knowledge of what your building experiences, while our contractors have knowledge of what roofing performs best where. A good discussion will lead to the best outcome for everyone involved.
