Project #1100 Commercial Roof Coating

Roofing Project Spotlight: Hail-Damaged SPF Roof Restored with Advanced Acrylic Coating System

In this recent commercial roofing project, we tackled the restoration of a Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roof with an acrylic coating that had suffered hail damage. The existing roof had two layers, which is the maximum allowed by code before a full replacement is mandated. However, instead of opting for a costly and time-consuming replacement, we restored the roof, preserving the existing structure while enhancing its durability.

The restoration involved applying a state-of-the-art acrylic roof coating system, beginning with a hybrid urethane base coat. A key highlight of this project is the use of a polyurethane base coat. While often mistaken for traditional spray foam, this material serves a unique purpose. It expands slightly upon application, effectively sealing all gaps and cracks in the existing roof before the top acrylic coat is applied. This ensures a seamless and watertight finish, providing enhanced protection against future weather events.

Existing Roof: SPF with Acrylic Coating

The original roof was a Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) system, protected with an acrylic coating. Although this setup is known for its durability and energy efficiency, it had been damaged by a recent hailstorm.

Acrylic Coating with Hybrid Urethane Base Coat

The restoration process involved applying a cutting-edge acrylic roof coating system, starting with a hybrid urethane base coat. This approach revitalized the roof, extending its lifespan and improving its weather resistance.

A standout feature of this project was the use of a polyurethane base coat. Unlike spray foam, this material expands slightly, ensuring all gaps and cracks in the existing roof were sealed before applying the top acrylic coat, resulting in a seamless, durable finish.

This commercial roofing project focused on restoring a Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roof with an acrylic coating that had been damaged by hail. With the roof already at the two-layer maximum allowed by code, a full replacement was avoided in favor of a more efficient restoration. The restoration process utilized an advanced acrylic coating system, starting with a hybrid urethane base coat. A standout feature was the use of a polyurethane base coat, which expanded slightly to seal all gaps and cracks, ensuring a seamless, durable finish. This approach not only repaired the damage but also enhanced the roof's longevity and resistance to future weather events.
