As a professional commercial roofer, you know how important it is to combine your skills with high-quality roof coating products as you finish or refinish a flat commercial roof. However, if a building’s owner doesn’t treat your work with proper care or the roof is hit by harsh weather, it may need further work.
Here are three issues that will arise on a flat roof over time, despite the quality of material, and what causes them.
Delamination
Due to exposure to the sun and temperature fluctuations, the rubber coating will eventually shrink and pull away from the other roofing materials. Regular inspections and maintenance will allow you to address this problem before it becomes too severe.
Alligatoring
Like delamination, alligatoring is caused by the roof coating’s daily exposure to the sun’s rays. UV radiation causes the coating to harden, crackle, and become rough, at which point it resembles alligator skin.
Punctures
Punctures are generally caused by debris from the weather and nearby trees, depending on your local climate. However, irresponsible human activity on the roof can also lead to punctures in the roof coating.
Solutions
As you know, the best way to address all three of these problems is to apply a new roof coating. If you use a low-quality product, however, these problems will return rather quickly. At Everest Systems, we offer high-quality roof coating materials, including:
