Roof Coatings & Energy Efficiency

Roof Coatings & Energy Efficiency

 

In recent years, more and more building owners are installing roof coating systems on their buildings as a way to lower energy bills and improving roof performance.  With energy and utility cost rising in North Carolina and South Carolina, as well as across the nation, businesses and homeowners alike are trying to find ways to lower utility bills.  Many roof coating systems have Energy Star ratings, and can lower utility cost by up to 20% for many of our clients.  What we want to talk about in this blog post is the many advantages of using roof coating systems, and how much they cost in relation to traditional roofing products.

First, lets talk about some of the advantages a roof coating system can offer to a building owner.  As we have already stated, roof coatings have a lot of products with Energy Star ratings, making them energy efficient roofing systems.  Another reason why many building owners are using roof coating systems is because of the easy maintenance and repair roof coating systems offer.  The ease of maintenance and repair using this product, also is another reason why this product is so versatile.  This versatility that Roof Coating systems provide also allows it to be installed and applied in many different situations, making it a more affordable for building owners to replace their roofing system.  Roof coatings are also easier to install then other commercial roofing systems, making it a popular choice among building owners. 

With all the advantages that roof coating systems have, it would lead one to believe that this is an expensive roofing product.  However, roof coating systems remain fairly low in price compared to other traditional roofing systems.  As with most other roofing products, roof coating systems are priced by the square foot, making it easy for customers to see exactly how much product will be needed to complete their project.  Prices for roof coating systems vary from project to project, with the main pricing factor being the size of the roof.  Also, removing an existing roofing system to replace with a roof coating system, may also raise the price of installation, as trash and waste cost are figured by weight.  Overall, a roof coating system is a very high performance roofing system, at a very affordable price.

In conclusion, here are some of the major advantages a roof coating system can offer building owners and homeowners in North & South Carolina:
  • Energy Efficiency - Lower Building Utility Cost
  • Low Maintenance & Easy to Repair - Reduce repair cost from storm damage.
  • Versatility - Can be installed on most flat roofing surfaces.
  • Easier to Install and Replace
  • Affordably priced roofing product for commercial building owners.
  • Energy Star Rated Colors
As seen in our blog post, roof coating systems provide many advantages over a traditional roofing system, and also another way building owners in North & South Carolina can lower energy consumption and help save the environment.  We hope this information is helpful, and if your a North or South Carolina building owner looking for a new commercial roofing system, then contact us at the information below.
