Applying a protective and reflective coating to your commercial building’s roof can significantly reduce its temperature. The U.S. Department of Energy states that traditional non-coated roofs can reach temperatures of 150 degrees (Fahrenheit) or more during the summer, while a coated roof can be up to 50 degrees cooler under the same conditions. The drastic temperature difference causes much less strain on a building’s cooling system and leads to less energy use overall. Combining roof coating services with commercial caulking services will protect your cooling system from overuse that leads to premature failures. Commercial building owners can save a sizable amount of money simply by having a commercial building coating services professional in New Orleans, LA apply a reflective coating to their roof.

One of the harder-to-quantify benefits of commercial building roof coating services in New Orleans, LA is its ability to keep your building cleaner longer. The coating systems we use are formulated with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) resin, a component that is effective at dirt shedding and is algae and mold resistant. For that reason, a coated roof is easier to clean and resists staining. Keeping your building looking its best while minimizing water usage saves money and is better for the environment. If you combine a protective roof coating with our specially formulated protective coatings for glass, metal, and stone you can significantly reduce the time and money spent on cleaning your entire building.

Applying a protective coating to your commercial building’s roof will help make it more resistant to weather and UV damage.
