Roof Coatings 101

Wondering how roof coatings work and if they’re right for your large roof? Get clear answers here.

Is this roof coating paint just like regular exterior paint, or is it something different?

It’s completely different. These coatings are thick, flexible membranes which are more like a waterproof skin than standard paint. They’re specifically engineered for roofing, forming a seamless, heavy-duty barrier that protects against water, UV damage, rust, and temperature extremes. Unlike regular exterior paint, which is often thin and prone to cracking or peeling, roof coatings are built to expand, contract, and perform under harsh Australian conditions.

How much cooler can heat-reflective roof paint actually make my shed or factory?

These cool roof coatings reflect a large amount of solar heat, especially on big metal roofs. Clients often report noticeably cooler interiors, which can help lower overall energy use and costs. If you’re also planning electrical improvements, our electrician team can assist with smart wiring or system upgrades to make the most of your energy savings.

Can you apply these protective coatings to an old concrete roof as well as to metal?

Yes, these industrial roof coatings are super versatile! After proper cleaning and prep during roof repairs and restoration, they bond really well to metal, aged concrete and even some tile types, making them ideal for house, commercial or factory roof coatings.

My current metal roof sometimes leaks around joints in heavy rain. Will waterproof roof paint fix that?

It depends on the severity of the leak. These coatings form a seamless, waterproof membrane that can seal overlaps and bridge small gaps which are great for helping prevent future leaks, especially during heavy Northern Rivers downpours.

But if there are existing or major leaks, we’ll need to repair those areas first to ensure the coating adheres properly and performs long-term. This kind of waterproofing is particularly useful if your roof also supports solar panels, helping protect both the roof and your investment.

Is coating my roof really cheaper than replacing it in the long run?

Often, yes! While quality roof coating is an investment, it’s usually much cheaper than a full roof replacement, especially for large industrial roofing. By adding years of life and stopping rust/leaks, it’s a cost-effective protective coating investment compared to replacing metal roofing sheets.
