What is GE Enduris Silicone?
GE Enduris High-Solids Silicone Roof Coatings offer exceptional durability, providing a thick, protective rubberized layer that resists weathering, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures. Their excellent water resistance makes them ideal for waterproofing flat and low-slope roofs, while their reflective properties improve energy efficiency by reducing heat absorption, leading to lower air conditioning costs. These coatings are low-maintenance, resistant to dirt, moss, and algae, and require less frequent repairs or re-coating. Additionally, their long-lasting performance makes them cost-effective, potentially lowering insurance premiums and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
What is an Acrylic Elastomeric Roof Coating?
An acrylic elastomeric roof coating is a flexible, liquid-applied roofing membrane designed to provide waterproofing, UV resistance, and energy efficiency. Made from acrylic polymers, this coating forms a seamless, durable layer over various roofing substrates, including metal, concrete, single-ply membranes, and modified bitumen. It is commonly used for commercial and residential roofs, particularly in areas with high sun exposure.
Other benefits of the cool-roof system include:
No Tear-off or Building Permits Needed.
Reduces project cost and lessens negative environmental impact.
Energy Efficient
Cool-roof coatings help improve energy efficiency by reflecting more sunlight and absorbing less heat, keeping buildings cooler and reducing the need for air conditioning. This leads to lower energy consumption, resulting in significant cost savings on cooling bills, especially in hot climates.
Waterproofing & Leak Prevention:
Silicone and elastomeric roof coatings provide superior waterproofing and leak prevention by forming a seamless, flexible membrane that protects against water infiltration. Silicone coatings offer excellent moisture resistance, making them ideal for areas prone to ponding water, as they do not degrade or absorb water over time. Elastomeric coatings, including acrylic-based options, expand and contract with temperature changes, reducing the risk of cracks and leaks caused by thermal movement. Both coatings enhance roof durability by sealing minor cracks and imperfections, preventing water damage, and extending the life of the roofing system with minimal maintenance.
Budget Friendly
Cool-roof systems are budget-friendly due to their long-term energy savings, which reduce cooling costs by keeping buildings cooler and minimizing the need for air conditioning. The initial investment in a cool roof coating is offset by the savings on utility bills, particularly in hot climates where cooling demand is high. Additionally, these systems extend the lifespan of the roof, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements over time & can be easily reapplied in the future to further extend the life of the roof.
Which is Better: Elastomeric or Silicone Roof Coatings?
Our customized recommendations are based on your roof’s age, slope, and overall condition, as well as client preferences when it comes to longevity. Elastomeric systems, including hybrid systems, stay whiter longer, offering improved reflectivity and cooling over time. Solventless silicone systems, like GE Enduris, are highly UV stable and do not break down in ponding water. Silicone erodes much slower than Elastomeric making it a longer term solution. With regular maintenance , these systems can be reapplied down the road to further extend the life of the roof.
