PERMA1KOTE® is an Elastomeric Waterproofing Insulating Ceramic Roof Coating. Quick One Coat Application. Any Color Available.

Elastomeric Single Coat Waterproofing

This advanced elastomeric insulating ceramic acrylic roof coating forms a seamless, rubber-like membrane that expands and contracts with temperature changes. It provides superior waterproofing in a single application, effectively sealing out moisture and helping prevent leaks on sloped roofing surfaces.

Reduces Roof Surface Temperatures by Up to 100°F

Engineered with high-emissivity ceramic microspheres, Bright White PERMA1KOTE® reflects solar UV, significantly lowering roof surface temperatures. This can reduce interior cooling loads, cut energy costs, and extend the life of roofing materials by minimizing thermal stress.

Ceramic Insulation & Soundproofing Properties

Inspired by NASA technology, the coating incorporates ceramic borosilicates that act as a thermal barrier. When applied at the recommended thickness, it can achieve an insulation value improvement, depending on the substrate. These ceramics also help dampen sound, making it ideal for noisy environments or urban settings.

Superior Mold, Mildew & Fungi Resistance

Formulated with built-in mildewcides, PERMA1KOTE® resists the growth of mold, mildew, algae, and fungi. This ensures a cleaner, healthier roof surface and reduces maintenance needs, especially in humid or coastal climates.

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!

PERMA1KOTE® is designed for well-draining sloped roofs and adheres to a wide variety of properly prepared roofing materials, including metal, concrete tile, clay tile, wood, modified bitumen, fiberglass, galvanized steel, aluminum, and many other surfaces. It is ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial roof restoration projects. For flat roofs or areas with standing water, a different coating system is recommended like our silicone roof coating.

Yes. PERMA1KOTE® is a high-build elastomeric ceramic roof coating formulated to create a seamless, flexible waterproof membrane in a single application when applied at the recommended film thickness. The cured coating expands and contracts with temperature changes to help resist cracking while helping protect the roof from moisture intrusion. Proper surface preparation and application thickness are essential for maximum performance and warranty compliance.

Bright White PERMA1KOTE® is formulated with ceramic microspheres that reflect solar UV radiation, helping reduce roof surface temperatures by as much as 100°F under certain conditions. By reducing heat absorption, the coating can help lower interior temperatures, decrease cooling costs, and reduce thermal stress on the roof, which may help extend the roof's service life.

PERMA1KOTE® can be applied using a brush, roller, or professional airless sprayer. The roof should be clean, dry, and properly prepared before application. Because it is water-based, cleanup is quick and easy using soap and water while the coating is still wet. Do not apply when temperatures are below 45°F or if rain is expected before the coating has adequately dried.

Yes. Although Bright White offers the greatest solar reflectivity, PERMA1KOTE® is available in virtually any custom color to complement residential, commercial, or industrial buildings. This allows property owners to improve roof protection while maintaining the desired appearance of the structure.
