Assessment requires taking an honest look at the roof and determining the needs of the particular roof. What is the present condition of the roof? Is it leaking? Rusted? Previously coated with asphalt? Structurally sound?
Preservation Products Coating Systems have been used successfully on a wide variety of surfaces including metal, asphalt, wood, concrete, transite, foam, masonry, and other common building materials.
Yes, Acrymax coatings can be applied over asphalt flat roofs. If the roof is in good condition, 2 coats of Acrymax will protect the roof from UV degradation. If the roof is leaking or is in poor condition then a fully reinforced membrane system using Poly-1 Fabric should be used. On asphalt shingles, Acrymax coatings can extend the life of the shingles if the coatings are applied before the shingles become brittle or the edges curl.
Standard paints or asphalt based materials don't have what it takes to accommodate the constant expansion and contraction of a metal or tin roof. Failure by cracking and peeling is commonplace. Preservation Products' elastomeric coatings will expand and contract with the roof and will stay flexible even in temperatures down to 30 degrees below zero.
