Light Industrial Commercial Building

Project Overview

About This Project

A commercial building's flat modified bitumen roof showed visible surface wear from prolonged UV exposure. The outer membrane displayed drying and stress, with several transition areas exhibiting early seam fatigue. Although active leaks had not yet developed, the property owner chose preventive roof coating application. The project applied a high-build elastomeric roof coating system to seal micro-cracks, reinforce the existing membrane, and reflect heat away from the building — extending service life at a fraction of full replacement cost.

Initial Assessment

Conditions Found

  • Surface drying and minor cracking in high UV-exposure areas
  • Early seam fatigue along membrane overlaps
  • Small gaps near flashing transitions
  • Minor granule loss on exposed surfaces
  • Functional drainage with no major ponding
  • Structural deck and insulation layers remained stable

What We Used

Materials

  • Reflective elastomeric roof coating
  • Seam reinforcement fabric
  • Bonding primer compatible with modified bitumen
  • Waterproof crack and joint sealant

How It Was Done

Installation Process

Every project follows a structured, supervised process — from site assessment to final walkthrough.

1
Roof Cleaning
Full roof surface power washed to remove dirt, debris, and particles before any coating application.
2
Surface Preparation
Seams sealed, flashing reinforced, and all transition areas treated to ensure proper coating adhesion.
3
Primer Application
Bonding primer applied across the full surface for compatibility with the modified bitumen substrate.
4
Reinforcement Fabric
Membrane reinforcement fabric embedded in coating at all high-stress seam and transition areas.
5
Elastomeric Coating Layers
Multiple elastomeric coating layers applied for uniform coverage and full waterproof continuity.
6
Cure & Final Inspection
System allowed to fully cure, followed by quality inspection to verify coverage and seal integrity.

Outcomes

Project Results

  • Continuous waterproof surface layer created across the full roof
  • Reinforced seams and flashing transitions
  • Reduced surface heat absorption with reflective coating
  • Slower membrane deterioration extending system lifespan
  • Lower cost than full replacement with minimal operational disruption
