Silicone for Roofing: Learn the Benefits of Silicone Roof Coating

Updated: Aug 25, 2023

The material of a roof’s composition impacts its longevity. Choosing the right product is essential to protecting your roof. In addition, the coating must be applied evenly and correctly to ensure that every square inch of the shingles or roofing material is coated. Trust the professionals at Eureka Contracting and Roofing for the best silicone coating for your home, office, or commercial roof and the most precise application to protect the roof.


Learn the benefits of silicone roof coating

Homeowners might wonder if a silicone coating is the best choice to protect their homes. Is silicone roof coating good?


Silicone coatings are ideal for their protective quality against pooling rain and for their energy efficiency. They can also be a more affordable option for homes or businesses; these coatings can repair some roof damage, saving money on a new roof installation.


While silicone coatings can be a great choice for some homeowners, they are not an option for every scenario; in some cases, a new roof might be the best choice. The Eureka Contracting and Roofing team helps customers understand their options and which roofing solution is best for their needs.


How Long Does Silicone Roof Coating Last?

Silicone roof coating should last more than a decade. On average, these coatings protect for up to 15 years. The application process contributes to the protective durability of the coating. It is important for experienced professionals like Eureka Contracting and Roofing to apply silicone roof coating. Shingles and roof material won't be properly protected if the silicone coating is applied too thick, sparsely, or unevenly.


Do Silicone Roof Coatings Reflect UV?

Silicone roof coatings help homes stay cooler during the hot summer months. Silicone coatings remove pressure from the HVAC system, saving money on energy costs and decreasing the home’s carbon footprint.


Silicone roof coatings are white; the color ensures that the sun’s heat is reflected instead of absorbed by the roof. A standard darker roof only reflects about 20 percent of UV, while roofs treated with silicone coating deflect 80 percent of UV (or more!)


Is Silicone Roof Coating Worth It?

Silicone roof coating is more affordable than purchasing a new roof. A silicone roof coating is a valuable investment for homeowners and building owners that value energy savings. For building owners or homeowners who want to improve the energy efficiency of their home, a silicone roof coating is a practical solution.
