Commercial Roof Coatings
Commercial Roof Coating are a viable alternative to replacement of roofing and often improves energy efficiency. Many companies offer great products for coatings. Today we wish to spotlight Karnak Coatings. Karnak has provided great products to the roofing industry since 1932. Karnak is an industry leader in roof coating systems; acrylic, elastomeric coatings; roof repair products; energy-efficient reflective roof systems and accessories that meet all your roofing needs. The products can extend the life of a roof and eliminate the need for a costly tear off.
Roof coatings are often more economical, come with a system warranty that guarantees against leaks and is often less invasive avoiding tear off. There are many cost savings in coatings. The first savings is tear off. Most current codes and municipalities in Colorado require tear offs of roofs when they are replaced. Some municipalities require resloping of the existing roof to provide a minimum of 1/4″ per foot of drainage. Some municipalities also require upgrading the existing insulation to current codes. Tear off of roofs to the deck can sometimes lead to dust and contamination to both the exterior of the building as well as the interior. Tear offs can led to toxic substances like lead and asbestos. All these issues can be avoided by using a coating system. Coatings are typically white and reflective. Many commercial flat roofs like EPDM rubber ( https://www.aamroofing.com/commercial-roofing/ ) are black and create a very hot surface. Coatings over these dark materials will substantially save in temperatures in the building. The surface is cooler, the air handling equipment intakes air that is cooler and other factors make the building more energy efficient. Limited system warranties guaranteed by Karnak for leaks up to 10 years are available. The system will be inspected by a Karnak representative to verify proper application. This warranty provides great peace of mind that your roof will keep you dry. In the past, many contractors have cut corners in the application with lack of cleaning, improper details, inadequate application rates and other short cuts. Failed coatings projects have left some property owners without confidence. Better training, certification, factory inspections, factory warranties and training provide for peace of mind.
