Roof coatings build a resilient obstacle between the uppermost layer of the coating and the elements of your roof. This way your roof is protected against harmful sun rays, rain, and other weather changes. This, in turn, increases the longevity of your roof and your home.

They are environmentally friendly and comprise of little to no VOC’s and are eligible for the US Green Building Council’s LEED program.
