Liquid-Applied Roofing systems

Liquid-applied roofs can rejuvenate an older, tired roofing system for many more years of protection. They’re applied overtop of existing roofing systems, in one application, ensuring there aren’t any seams for water to penetrate. There’s also very little disruption to the structure itself, thanks to Nations Roof’s trained professionals.

Features

  • Liquid-applied roofing is a waterproofing membrane constructed in place with resin and a reinforcing polyester that gets sprayed or roller applied, usually in two separate coats.
  • It's suitable for all roof types – flat, sloped, or domed and is ideal for confined urban spaces.
  • A liquid-applied roof gets installed over an existing roof which eliminates the need for a tear off, helping to reduce landfill waste and offering a sustainable and renewable solution for roof restoration.

Benefits

  • Liquid-applied roofing systems are a cost-effective way to restore a deteriorating, but functioning roof, into a longer-lasting, highly efficient weatherproofing system.
  • Liquid-applied roofs are monolithic, which means there are no seams. By removing the primary source of leaks, it makes them an excellent option for waterproofing.
  • During installation, harmful or strong odors are at very low levels, and noise or general construction inconvenience is kept to a minimum, which means businesses can typically stay open while the work is being carried out.
  • Liquid-applied roofs are highly reflective, reducing the roof surface temperature by 50-80°F, which means less heat transfer into the building resulting in lower energy costs.
  • With added flexibility, liquid-applied roofing materials can expand and contract with temperature changes, reducing risks of cracking.
  • Resistant to weather, UV radiation, and chemicals, liquid-applied roofs are great at providing long-lasting protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a liquid-applied roofing system?

    Liquid-applied roofs are warranted for up to 20 years with a proper installation and regular maintenance. The process is usually performed in two steps, with the application of a resin and then a reinforcing polyester layer.
  • How long does a liquid-applied roof last?

    Liquid roofs can last 15 to 25 years with regular maintenance and a proper installation. To ensure your liquid-applied roof lasts as long as possible, leave it to the trained and experienced pros at Nations Roof.
  • Can you walk on a liquid-applied roof?

    Yes, some liquid-applied roofing systems can be walked on. While acrylic and silicone aren’t ideal for foot traffic, polyurethane liquid-applied roofs are suitable for walking. Walkway pads are recommended for areas of high traffic and around rooftop mechanical equipment.
  • How do you maintain a liquid-applied roof?

    Maintaining a liquid-applied roof requires regular professional inspections and cleanings. Be sure to remove any debris and repair any budding issues before they become a serious problem.
  • Will a liquid-applied roof stop leaks?

    Liquid-applied roofing products are designed to restore existing roofing systems. Extra attention should be paid to existing leaks, but the membrane these products create is waterproof and will protect the building.
  • Can a liquid-applied roof be used on a sloped roof?

    Liquid-applied roofing can be used on a wide variety of roof pitches, including some considered steep slopes.
  • How is a liquid-applied roofing installed?

    Generally speaking, the process of applying liquid applied roofing starts with cleaning the roof surface, applying a primer, and then evenly coating it with a liquid membrane that cures to form a seamless, waterproof barrier.
  • Can you coat rubber roofing with liquid-applied roofing?

    Yes, the surface has to be clean and primed first, but then liquid-applied roofing can be applied over rubber roofing membranes just as it can with most other roofing materials.
