Silicone Roof Coatings

High-solids, moisture-cure silicone coatings that restore weathered roofs and hold up in demanding UV and ponding-water conditions where many coatings struggle.

Technology overview

What silicone roof coatings are

Silicone roof coatings cure by reacting with atmospheric moisture to form a highly weather- and UV-resistant film. They are widely used to restore low-slope roofs and are generally regarded as tolerant of standing water, which makes them a common candidate for roofs with drainage limitations.

As with any restoration coating, the existing membrane must be sound, clean and compatible, and adhesion is confirmed by testing. Recoating a silicone surface in the future requires silicone-compatible products, which is considered during system selection.

Role in the system: Primer, base and reflective finish coats in a silicone restoration assembly, and the protective top coat over spray-foam roofing.

Silicone requires silicone-compatible recoating and preparation products; this is confirmed against the current specification.

Selection guide

When to consider silicone roof coatings

  • Roofs with slow drainage or intermittent ponding water
  • High-UV exposure where long-term weatherability is a priority
  • Restoration of weathered single-ply, metal or previously coated roofs
  • Reflective finishes to reduce rooftop heat gain
