Silicone is uniquely suited for low-slope commercial roofs where ponding water is a concern. Unlike acrylic coatings, silicone does not absorb water, soften, or degrade when submerged — making it the preferred choice for roofs with drainage limitations or irregular slopes.
We apply silicone at manufacturer-specified mil thickness over prepared existing membranes — EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, and spray foam. Silicone bonds to most surfaces without a full tear-off, saving time and disposal cost.
Aging commercial roofs with deteriorating surface membranes are cleaned, primed, and restored with a full silicone coating system. This restores full waterproofing capability and extends roof life by 10 to 20 years while maintaining existing insulation and structural systems.
Existing silicone-coated roofs with thin areas or surface wear are repaired and recoated. New silicone bonds directly to old silicone — no stripping or primer required in most cases — making maintenance and recoating straightforward throughout the roof's life.
On commercial flat roofs, ponding water is a constant challenge. Water that sits for 48 hours or more will degrade acrylic and urethane coatings over time — causing softening, adhesion loss, and eventually membrane failure. Silicone is chemically inert in standing water and does not experience this degradation, making it the superior choice for Ocean County roofs with imperfect drainage.
