Different Types, Same Purpose
While all elastomeric coatings serve the same core function—protecting the foam roof underneath—they vary in material and performance based on the product type and quality. The most common types include:
-
Acrylic Coatings
These are cost-effective and widely used. Acrylic coatings provide good UV protection and work well in moderate climates but may break down faster in extreme weather. -
Silicone Coatings
Known for their superior durability, silicone coatings offer excellent resistance to ponding water, UV rays, and weathering. They typically last longer but are also more expensive.
Choosing the Right Coating
Not all coatings are created equal. Brand quality, material composition, and application method can all impact performance. At City Pro LLC, we work with trusted products and match the right type of elastomeric coating to your specific roofing system and climate.

Why It Matters
A high-quality elastomeric coating helps prevent leaks, reduce thermal absorption, and maintain the structural integrity of the roof. By reflecting sunlight, it keeps the building cooler and reduces the strain on HVAC systems—ultimately lowering energy costs. It also helps prevent moisture damage and surface deterioration, which can lead to costly repairs if left unchecked.
