What are the non-energy benefits of coating walls or a roof?
ProTek’s cool coatings will reduce maintenance on both roofs and walls. On walls, ProTek coatings will effectively water seal all types of walls in housing, commercial and industrial buildings from the elements and other factors, while allowing the walls to breath. ProTek coatings will keep the walls cool, thereby substantially reducing curling of wood siding, deterioration of T1-11 or cracking of stucco. On metal roofs, maintenance of bolts, seals and joints to avoid leaks is reduced as the expansion and contraction cycle is very much reduced. Rust, as a result of condensation on the decking or underside of a roof, is also eliminated or alleviated. There is absolutely no question that reflective coatings slow down the aging process of conventional asphalt roofing. A 10 year uncoated asphalt roof needs a new layer while a coated roof needs only a maintenance coat, usually at about 1/3 the cost. According to Dr. Gartland’s studies, a coated roof saves more than $ 4 per square foot, most
