5 Benefits of Aluminum Roof Coatings

When it comes to your home, your roof is the first line of defense against the elements. However, because the roof is not where you or your guests spend time, it can easily be neglected and begin to deteriorate. For this reason, your home will benefit from a high quality, durable, and long-lasting roof. This can be made possible with the application of high-quality roof coatings. Aluminum roof coatings are one of the most popular options on the market and provide excellent protection and value.

If you are looking for a roof coating that will add years to your roof, then an aluminum roof coating is something to consider. There are many benefits of applying an aluminum roof coating and these are a few of them:

Aluminum roof coatings protect from the rays of the sun.

It’s likely that your roof receives more direct sunlight and exposure to the sun than any other area of your property. Both the heat of the sun as well as the UV rays from the sunlight cause significant deterioration to your roof over time. An aluminum roof coating can reflect up to 80% of the UV rays directed at your rooftop. This will protect and significantly prolong the useful life of your shingles and the other materials on your roof.

Keep out the heat with aluminum coatings.

The materials of your home will slowly absorb the outside temperature of the course of the day. During the long and hot days of summer, your home will trap a large amount of heat coming from the outside and require significant AC use just to fight off this heat absorption. An aluminum roof coating will reflect a significant amount of this heat and keep it from entering your home. This will cause improved electric efficiency as your cooling equipment will not be required to work as hard. This not only provides for utilities bills, but will also decrease the wear and tear on your equipment and lengthen its useful life.

Aluminum coatings insulate your home.

Your home likely receives some exposure to the elements of the course of the year. Many homes are exposed to both extreme heat in the summer as well as extreme cold in the winter. A well insulate home, including the roof, will allow for energy efficiency as you work to make your home a comfortable place to reside. An aluminum roof coating will provide added insulation, increasing the comfort level of your home, decreasing the amount of stress placed on your heating and cooling equipment while decreasing your carbon footprint during the entire year.

Aluminum coatings prolong the life of your roof.

Whether your home is relatively new and in great physical condition, has fallen into disrepair, or is somewhere in-between, an aluminum roof coating will provide added benefits to your home. For older homes, your roof might also require repairs before coating. As all roofs are subject to the same damage caused by heat, UV rays, water, and pests, an aluminum roof coating will protect any roof, old or new, from these harmful elements, while prolonging the life of your roof and delaying expensive roof repairs or replacement.

Aluminum coatings increase curb appeal.

While you might not be able to see your roof up-close on a frequent basis, it is one of the first things you or any onlooker will see when looking at your home. Aluminum roof coatings provide a unique brilliant appearance that will increase the curb appeal of your home as a whole. Whether you’re looking to protect your home, improve its appearance, or are preparing to list it on the market for sale, your home will benefit from the application of an aluminum roof coating.
