PERMAKOTE® Roof Restoration

Waterproofing Elastomeric Roof Coating Excellence

PERMAKOTE® is meticulously engineered to deliver enduring waterproofing and protection for pitched roofs, regardless of the underlying substrate. It forms a seamless and fully adhered membrane, safeguarding your roof against the detrimental effects of UV rays, rain, and other environmental factors, ultimately extending the lifespan of your roof.

Ceramic Insulation and Soundproofing Advantages

The low thermal conductivity of ceramic additives effectively reduces heat transfer through the roof, leading to enhanced indoor comfort. Additionally, the use of ceramic materials effectively reduces noise levels, providing a quieter and more pleasant indoor environment, particularly in high-noise areas near busy roads or airports.

Energy Savings and Reflectivity

Certain materials possess the remarkable ability to reflect solar UV rays, reducing the heat absorbed by buildings or structures. Elastomeric roof coatings, when applied to existing roofs, create a reflective barrier that deflects the sun's rays, thus lowering the heat absorbed by the roof and the building itself. Moreover, during hot weather, these coatings minimize interior temperatures, easing the strain on air conditioning systems. This translates into cost savings associated with heating and cooling systems.

Resilience Against Mold, Mildew, and Fungi

Mold, mildew, and fungi can be detrimental to roofs, causing damage and compromising structural integrity. Our PERMAKOTE® solution is specially formulated with the inclusion of fungicides and other additives, to provide superior resistance to these microorganisms.

Low V.O.C. & Environmentally Friendly

Water-based coatings that are low in VOCs and environmentally friendly eliminate the need for harsh chemicals during application and prevent the need for equipment breakdown at the end of the day. Simply wash them out with soap and water, and they'll be ready for your next project!

For flat roofs or limited ponding water situations inquire about PERMAKOTE PLUS® Flat Roof Coating Limited Ponding Water Roof Coating. For a High Solids Silicone Elastomeric Roof Coating check out our Best Silicone Roof Coating .
SURFACE PREPARATION:
Apply only to a sound, completely dry, well prepared roof surface. Leaks must be repaired before any coating is applied. If primer was applied, it is essential that the primer surface is clean and dry and free of all moisture. If no primer was applied, prepare surface by thoroughly pressure washing with a water and chlorine mixture using at least 1500 P.S.I. to remove any previous coatings, dirt, grease, and other foreign materials, especially mold, mildew and algae. PERMAKOTE® Elastomeric Roof Coating will resist mildew growth but will not kill mildew already on the surface. Patch any holes, cracks, flashings, valleys, vents, etc., with PERMAPATCH™ Elastomeric Patching Compound, a Waterproof Caulk and Sealant. Tape & seal all seams with PERMATAPE™ , a Polyester Fabric Tape.

Metal:
Clean surface of all grease, oil and foreign matter before priming. Rusted metal and uncoated metal must be primed with METAL-PRIME RED-OX™ Rusted Metal Primer Sealer, a Red Iron Oxide Primer Sealer. Use a degreaser on galvanized or coated metals which have oils or surface treatments. Check PERMAKOTE® adhesion on galvanized or coated metal by applying to a small area and evaluating after 48 hours. If lack of adhesion is present after evaluating, metal must be lightly scuffed without penetrating the coated finish or galvanizing. If applicable, use METAL-PRIME RED-OX™ to spot prime the penetrated areas, then use PERMABOND™ Bonding Primer for entire coated or galvanized surface.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
Stir well before using. Do not thin, use product as is. Mix multiple containers of color together for greater color consistency. Do not apply when temperatures are below 45 degrees Fahrenheit or when humidity is very high. Do not apply when coating will be subjected to rain or heavy dew before it has had enough time to dry (approx. 2 to 4 hours). Drying time will vary depending on temperature, humidity and location. Apply using brush, roller or spray. Spread coating uniformly. Spread Rate will vary depending on surface. Apply each coat between 12 to 16 mils wet film thickness. Wait at least 12 hours before applying a second coat. Two coats resulting in a minimum 16 mil total dry film thickness is required. If primer was used a minimum 20 mil total dry film thickness is required and is mandatory for warranty compliance.
Airless Sprayers: Use at least a 1 gallon per minute piston type airless sprayer with a minimum tip size of .027. Remove all line filters and gun filters before spraying.

Clean Up:
Clean up all spills, tools and overspray immediately while the coating is still wet with warm soapy water.

People Also Ask

An elastomeric roof coating is a liquid-applied waterproofing membrane that cures into a flexible, seamless protective barrier. Unlike ordinary paint, it expands and contracts with changing temperatures, helping prevent cracking, peeling, of the coating system. PERMAKOTE® Elastomeric Roof Coating also reflects UV rays, helping protect the roof surface while improving energy efficiency and extending the life of many roofing systems.

PERMAKOTE® is designed for a wide variety of sloped roofing surfaces, including: Metal roofs, Concrete tile roofs, Clay tile roofs, previously coated roofs and many other properly prepared roofing substrates. Proper cleaning and surface preparation are essential for maximum adhesion and long-term performance. If you're unsure whether your roof is compatible, our technical team can help determine the best coating system for your project.

When properly applied over a sound roof with the recommended surface preparation, PERMAKOTE® Elastomeric Roof Coating is backed by a 15-Year Written Warranty. Actual service life depends on roof condition, climate, maintenance, and application thickness, but a quality elastomeric coating can significantly extend the life of an existing roof while delaying costly replacement.

Yes. White and light-colored elastomeric roof coatings reflect a significant amount of the sun's UV radiation instead of allowing it to be absorbed by the roof. This helps lower roof surface temperatures, reduces heat transfer into the building, and can lessen the workload on air conditioning systems during hot weather. The result is improved indoor comfort and the potential for lower energy costs.

Yes. PERMAKOTE® is formulated to create a durable waterproofing barrier while resisting UV exposure, rain, and normal weathering. It also contains additives that help resist the growth of mold, mildew, and fungi on the coated surface, making it an excellent choice for roofs exposed to humid or wet climates. PERMAKOTE® was developed in Florida and is applied on most continents throughout the globe.
