Roof coating is a monolithic, fully adhered, fluid applied roofing membrane containing elastic properties that allow it to stretch and return to it's original shape without damage.

Typical roof coating dry film thickness varies from paint film thickness (plus or minus 3 dry mils) to more than 40 dry mils. This means a roof coating actually becomes the top layer of a composite roof membrane and underlying system. As such, the roof coating is the topmost layer of protection for the membrane, receiving the impact of sunlight (both infrared and ultraviolet (UV), rain, hail, and physical damage.

Roof Coatings should not be confused with deck coatings. Deck coatings are traffic bearing - designed for waterproofing areas where pedestrian (and in some cases vehicular) traffic is expected. Roof coatings will only waterproof the substrates but will not withstand any kind of ongoing use by people or vehicles (such as walkways, patios, sundecks, restaurants, etc.).
