Concrete flat roofs are porous and prone to hairline cracks. Moisure in the concrete roof slab can corrode rebars and cause structural damage.
Concrete roofs are excellent heat batteries. The absorbed heat can take up to 4 hours to dissipate. Elastomeric coatings can reflect up to 90% of the heat and help reduce cooling costs.

BEFORE: This reinforced concrete roof has roof leaks in several locations. The concrete roof already had a thin cementitious type of waterproofing material installed but it wasn’t working very well. It is not a dark colored roof but it gets pretty hot in the summer. The owners were unable to locate the source of the leaks so they decided to apply a seamless elastomeric membrane on the entire concrete roof.


AFTER: A leak-free, seamless roofing membrane now covers the concrete roof. The cool roof coating reflects about 90% of the heat from the sun. It looks brand new but performs better than new.
Since the building has concrete exterior walls, they were coated with elastomeric coatings too.
