About GacoRoof™ GR16 Series: Superior Silicone Roof Coating
GacoRoof™ GR16 Series is an elastomeric silicone coating in a single component. It also provides excellent energy-saving and protection. ASTM D 6694 compliant. It comes in a variety of colors, including Energy Star- and Cool Roof Rating Council-compliant varieties.
Project Overview: What Top Silicone Coatings Enhance Roof Durability
Our most recent project was to re-coat a commercial roof with GacoRoof™ GR16 Series, extending the lifespan of the existing roof and improving energy efficiency. The property owner needed a solution that is judicious enough to endure harsh weather while minimizing maintenance costs and bolstering environmental sustainability. The GacoRoof™ GR16 Series was specified for its proven resistance to UV radiation, ponding water and temperature variation.
8 Key Advantages of Premium Silicone Coatings Such as GacoRoof™ GR16 Series
No Water Absorption After Curing: Silicone coatings are moisture-cured, meaning that after the curing process, no additional water will be absorbed into the coating (GacoRoof™). As a result, they feature long-lasting protection from ponding water which eliminates the risk of premature aging.
UV Protection: The coating reflects up to 90% of UV rays, massively reducing cooling costs and protecting HVAC systems. It doesn’t crack, doesn’t degrade, and doesn’t become brittle over time like other coatings.
Flexibility & Weatherability: GacoRoof™ silicone membrane is incredibly flexible and virtually impermeable to wind-driven sand, oxidation, extreme temperature, or harshest rain. It supports thermal movement in large roof structures, ensuring the structure remains intact.
Over 90% Solids Content: GacoRoof™ is a high solids product so requires less material during application resulting in both time and labor cost savings while eliminating the potential of underapplying the system.
Green Benefits: GacoRoof™ formulations are solvent-free and low VOC; meeting the demanding environmental codes in all 50 states. They help reduce carbon footprint and improve indoor air quality.
Silicone Roof Coating: Application Process and Longevity
Our team prepared the roof all the way up to application to ensure the best adhesion and longevity. Ahlers used GacoRoof™ in multiple coats to reach the recommended Dry Film Thickness (DFT); this allowed for a seamless, over the top, durable protective barrier.
Quality assurance: The life of a silicone roof coating, which is normally between 10 and 20 years or more, is determined by the quality of the coating and the technique of application. Quality formulations such as GacoRoof™ perform under the collectively adverse conditions of UV exposure, moisture and temperature swings to offer superior defense.
Application Skills: The way GacoRoof™ is applied, such as the surface preparation and the thickness of the coating, plays a significant role in the longevity and durability of your GacoRoof™. Good adhesion and good coverage protect from environmental factors.

FAQ
1. What is the lifespan of silicone roof coatings?
If applied carefully and maintained, silicone roof coatings can last for 10-20 years.
2. Are silicone coatings suitable for all roof types?
While silicone works for a majority of roof types (such as metal and asphalt), and single-ply systems, proper inspection by professional’s is needed to check suitability.
3. How much do silicone roof coatings cost?
That price will vary based on roof size, roof condition, and roofing type of silicone applied. It is far less expensive than a full roof replacement.
4. Are silicone coatings safe for the environment?
Yes, they decrease heat absorption, improve energy efficiency and reduce waste due to their ability to extend the lifetime of the roof.
5. Do silicone coatings need to be maintained?
Coating is challenging to apply, it will bond well, and it is suggested to keep inspecting. This means cleaning the debris off and maybe reapplying it after the expected lifespan of it.
