When it comes to Orange County homes and offices, flat roofs increasingly find popularity with builders and owners. Flat roofs save cost less to build and repair and maintenance costs are lower too. It’s easier to install AC units and solar panels on a flat roof. But Orange County flat roofs do require coatings. That’s where Crank Waterproofing saves the day.
Benefits of Coating Orange County Flat Roofs
When you think of flat roof coatings, you probably think about stopping moisture. But Orange County flat roof coatings do more than prevent leaks. They help reduce energy consumption and extend the life of your flat roof.
They save money too.
Coating a flat roof costs much less money than tearing out and replacing a sloped roof. The materials cost less, and the labor is less as well.
A Common Problem with Flat Roofs
Sloped roofs direct water away from the top of the building, no matter what type of roof you have. Whether the roof is covered with shingles, tiles, or tin, gravity pulls water down.
Water ponds on flat roofs unless drainage is properly installed and functioning. Standing water on a flat roof leads to leaks and degradation of the roofing material. Standing water can damage flashing seams, transitions, and laps to fail. Small cracks allow water to penetrate the roof membrane.
Roof coatings stop those problems before they start. And, they do more as well.
Types of Orange County Flat Roof Coatings
Crank Waterproofing knows all about keeping roofs and decks watertight. For over 70 years, home and building owners have trusted Crank to waterproof right. When it comes to coatings for flat decks, Crank provides options.
Hot fluid applied asphalt and membrane coatings
Hot fluid applied rubberized asphalt waterproofing is a water and weatherproofing membrane system that creates a monolithic waterproof structure over the roof.
It is perfect for roof decks, flat roofs, vegetative roofs and can even be used for below-grade waterproofing.
Hot rubberized membranes eliminate seams and provide the perfect coverage for large areas.
Polyurethane roof coatings
These roof coatings are sprayed onto the roof. These flat roof coatings offer impact resistance as well as moisture resistance. Generally applied in two layers, the first provides durable protection and the top layer adds ultraviolet light resistance for even more protection.
Silicone roof coatings
These coatings create a flexible monolithic surface impenetrable by wind, rain, or sand. These properties make them a favorite for coastal Orange County buildings with a flat roof.
Acrylic roof coatings
The most economical of the roof coatings, acrylic offers protection against moisture and ultraviolet light protection. If you need a roof coating and budget is the top concern, talk to Crank Waterproofing about this option.
