How to Apply Aluminum Roof Coating?

Applying aluminum roof coating is a straightforward process that can significantly enhance the durability and energy efficiency of your metal roof. This reflective roof coating helps to protect your roof from the sun's harmful UV rays, reduces heat absorption, and extends the lifespan of your existing roofing material. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure successful application.

Step 1: VISUAL INSPECTION and REPLACEMENT of DAMAGED BUILDING MATERIALS

The roof surface to be coated must be in SOUND condition. Physically inspect the surface area for missing or damaged building materials. Replace and/or repair all damaged areas.

Step 2: Clean the Roof 

Before applying the aluminum roof coating, it is crucial to thoroughly clean the roof surface. Start by removing large debris such as leaves, twigs, and dirt. Pressure clean the entire roof surface with at least 1500 P.S.I. of pressure using a water and chlorine solution.

Step 3: TREAT RUST or PATCHING IMPERFECTIONS

Apply coats of METAL-PRIME™ RED-OX if needed for any rust then patch remaining imperfections with PERMAPATCH™. Tape all visible seams, valleys, large cracks & fractures prone to water intrusion on roof surface with PERMASTIK™ or PERMATAPE™.

Step 4: Apply the Aluminum Roof Coating 

Begin applying the aluminum roof coating in a crosshatch application method. Use an industrial airless sprayer, paint roller or brush. Apply at 12-16 wet mils per coat at a spread rate of 100-150 square feet per gallon per coat.
