Acrylics are the most popular type of roof coating. They provide an excellent balance of durability and affordability. Silicone coatings are a step up in terms of performance, but they come at a much higher price point. Aluminum roof coatings offer the best protection against weathering, but they require more upkeep than other types, and do not provide the energy efficiency/solar reflectivity that (white) Acrylics offer.

Ultimately, the decision comes down to budget and desired level of protection. If you live in an area with extreme weather conditions, you might want to opt for a more durable option like silicone or aluminum. Please note: once you apply silicone coatings on your roof, you cannot adhere a different type of coating to it. The same applies to aluminum coatings.

Aluminum coatings offer better protection against blistering but don’t keep your home or office quite as cool. If you’re looking for a cheaper solution, acrylic is a better option. Whether you want to buy or hire an installer, make sure you do thorough research and get a quality product from a reputable manufacturer. With proper installation, your roof coating will protect your home for many years.
