FAQ

Liquid-applied roof coating restoration is a redundant system reinforced with polyester and monolithic, fully adhered, and seamless membranes applied directly to an existing roof substrate. The membranes cure to form a durable, waterproof barrier that protects the building from the elements. 

Several reasons make liquid coatings attractive:

  • Cost-effectiveness: Coatings often cost less than full roof replacements, especially for complex roofs.
  • Extended roof lifespan: Coatings can add 10-20 years to your existing roof.
  • Minimized disruption: Installation is generally quicker and less disruptive to building occupants than tear-offs.
  • Energy efficiency: Reflective coatings can lower cooling costs by decreasing roof surface temperature.
  • Seamless and flexible: They conform to intricate roof shapes and accommodate building movement, reducing leaks.

They’re compatible with many existing roof surfaces, including:

  • Metal
  • Modified bitumen
  • Built-up roofing (BUR)
  • Single-ply (EPDM, TPO, PVC)
  • Spray polyurethane foam (SPF)
  • Concrete
  • Dens Deck substrate

Common types include:

  • Acrylic: Good value, UV resistant, and easy to apply. When applied with emulsion and polyester, the roof will become fully restored and reinforced.
  • Silicone: Excellent UV and ponding water resistance, long-lasting.
  • Polyurethane: High tensile strength, abrasion resistant, good for high-traffic areas.

Lifespan varies based on coating type, application quality, and local climate, but typically 10-20 years. Regular maintenance can significantly extend their lifespan.

Many are! Look for low-VOC (volatile organic compound) options and coatings with high reflectivity to reduce the urban heat island effect.

It is generally low maintenance. Regular inspections (biannually or annually) to check for damage, debris removal, and occasional recoating are usually sufficient.

Silicone coating with polyester reinforcement in critical and low areas offers excellent ponding water resistance, which is crucial in areas with heavy rainfall.

It is essential to choose experienced and certified applicators with Manta Roofing Products. Check with your contractor and ask them if they are certified Manta Roofing Products Certified Applicators.

Manta typically offers material warranties, and contractors may provide workmanship warranties. Be sure to understand the terms and conditions of both.
