Metal Roof Coatings: 8 Greatest Benefits
For over four decades, the acrylic elastomeric metal roof coatings systems have been successfully revitalizing commercial roofing systems. In 1977, Conklin developed these coatings with the aim of restoring aging metal roofs by providing exceptional weather protection and energy efficiency. The primary goal of this coating system was to offer commercial building owners and facility managers a cost-effective alternative to the expensive processes of tear-offs, disposal, and complete roof replacements.
As an authorized contractor for the Conklin Roofing System in Pennsylvania, we specialize in the restoration of aging commercial metal roofing systems. With the use of the Conklin MR® System, specifically formulated for metal roofs, we can rejuvenate and protect these roofs at a fraction of the cost of a traditional roof replacement. Our expertise in applying the Conklin coatings ensures that your commercial metal roof receives the highest level of care and durability, extending its lifespan and providing superior performance against the elements.
Metal Roof Coatings Restore Aging Roofing Systems
The harsh climate of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, coupled with its close extreme variations in temperature, poses challenges to the longevity of metal roofing systems. Despite their inherent durability, these roofs can suffer from issues such as pitting, warping, and corrosion, particularly at the seams and fasteners. As a result, roof leaks become a recurring problem, often leading to frequent repairs and premature roof replacements. During the snow season, ice backup can be an issue as the frozen ice pushes up the roofline and over joins.
Fortunately, our EnergyStar metal roof coatings systems offer an effective solution. By directly applying these advanced coating systems onto the existing metal surface, we can instantly restore an aging metal roof assembly. The seamless application creates a durable, white reflective membrane that not only provides excellent waterproofing capabilities but also enhances energy efficiency. The reflective properties of the coating reduce heat absorption, contributing to lower energy consumption and utility costs. Moreover, these high-performance coatings significantly extend the useful life of the metal roof, ensuring long-term protection and savings for decades to come.

In addition, its “cool roof” technology keeps indoor spaces cooler saving up to 30 percent in building cooling costs alone. Plus, your commercial operation may also be eligible for tax credits, rebates, and incentives. This will increase your return on investment even further.
