San Antonio's summer heat load is among the most severe in commercial roofing. July and August surface temperatures on dark commercial membranes in this market regularly reach 165°F - the kind of heat that accelerates membrane oxidation, stresses seam welds, and drives cooling energy costs that building operators feel every month. A properly applied silicone fluid coating reflects 80 to 85 percent of incident solar radiation and can reduce rooftop surface temperature by 50 to 70°F, measurably reducing HVAC load on the buildings below.
We install silicone fluid-applied coatings on qualifying TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and metal roofs. The qualifying step is what separates a coating project from a failed coating project. We pull moisture cores on every job before we quote. Coating over wet or saturated insulation traps moisture in the substrate and produces a blistering, delaminating coating within two to three years - a waste of the owner's money and a liability for us. If the substrate does not qualify for coating, we say so and provide a replacement scope.
