Overview: Long-term coatings performance starts with attention to application and maintenance issues during specification. In sustaining facility roofs, cold-applied coatings are fundamental maintenance tools. Before implementing a successful coatings program, however, it is important that maintenance and engineering managers have a sound understanding of coating appropriateness, available coating materials and installation procedures. A closer look at each of these components helps ensure the coating and the roof deliver intended long-term performance. Article explains six situations exist that are considered appropriate roof-coating applications. Once managers have defined project goals and criteria, the next step is to identify and specify suitable coating products. Many products exist, and most can be classified as bituminous or elastomeric. To maximize the organization’s roofing investment, maintenance managers should consider roof coatings for use in roof management programs. But for roof coatings to be truly valuable, managers will have to evaluate the reasons for coating and the coatings’ feasibility.
