Roofing technology has advanced a lot in recent years, especially when it comes to low-slope and flat roof systems. One example of this is silicone fluid-applied roofing membranes. This technology offers several advantages for homeowners with applicable roof styles.
1. They’re affordable. Application of a fluid-applied membrane is less expensive than a traditional reroof.
2. They have a tremendous life expectancy. Anecdotally, we’ve seen these types of roofing membranes last 30 to 40 years and even longer.
3. They’re easy to maintain. Fluid-applied roofing membranes resist mold/mildew growth, and their silicone coatings are impervious to water.
4. They’re energy efficient. A white, Title 24-compliant silicone membrane can significantly cool a roof’s temperature on hot days and thereby create a more comfortable environment inside the home.
Because of these great benefits, fluid-applied roofing membranes are becoming a more popular option for residential applications. Ask your roofer whether a fluid-applied membrane would be a good choice for your roof.
