American History X
In ancient beginnings of early waterproofing, Mesopotamia builders applied layers of what to create durable waterproofing.
Reed mats soaked in bitumen.
Basic acrylic resin with standard pigments and fillers.
Standard Acrylic Coatings
High concentration of solid components compared to the standard acrylic coatings. Forms a thicker, more durable membrane, and enhanced waterproofing.
High-Solid Acrylic
Applying the coating on a dirty, wet, or poorly prepared surface.
Properly clean the roof. Remove dirt and debris.
The reflective properties help in reducing cooling cost.
Energy Efficiency.
During the middle ages builders often used what as primitive coatings to protect wood shingles.
Pine Tar, animal fat, and wax
Increased resin content for a thicker, more durable film.
High-Solid Acrylic Coatings
Specially formulated acrylic coatings containing biocides.
Algae-Resistant Acrylic Coatings
Applying acrylic roof coating in high humidity, or in rain.
Check for weather conditions.
Water-based and low in volatile organic compounds are an Eco-Friendly Choice.
Environmental Friendliness
The Industrial Revolution brought rapid advancement to roof coating materials for flat roofs.
Coal tar pitch or asphalt and coal tar
Includes silicone additives for enhances water resistance.
Silicone-Modified Acrylic
Acrylic coating blended with silicone components.
Silicone-Modified Acrylic Roof coatings
Applying a very thick coat can lead to cracking or too thin.
Follow application Guidelines.
Compared to complete roof replacements, applying an acrylic coating is significant.
Cost-Effectiveness
The 20th century marked a turning point in roof coating technology, with the introduction of what coatings.
Synthetic and Polymer-based coatings
Contains biocides and fungicides to prevent organic growth.
Algae-Resistant Acrylic
Water-based coating with moderate solids content.
Standard Acrylic Roof Coatings
Failing to seal cracks, and seams before coating can cause failure.
Use sealant, fabric, or mastics before applying the main coating.
Protecting the existing roof from environmental elements extends its lifespan.
Improved Roof Longevity
Recent advancement in what have also led to self-cleaning coatings that repel dirt and algae.
Nanotechnology.
Key components such as acrylic resins, solvents, pigments, additives, and what work together to create long-lasting coatings.
Fillers
An American Weatherstar special formula Acrylic coating designed for ultimate UV resistance by utilizing specialized pigments and biocides.
High-Build Acrylic 212
Failing to stir the coating properly can lead to uneven coverage.
Thoroughly mix before applying.
Available in various colors, these coatings can improve the appearance of a roof.
Aesthetic Enhancement
