From standard roof to ‘cool’ roof in a single application

The coatings are formulated using an acrylic polymer base for enhanced adhesion and durability.


By David Barista, Editorial Director | December 19, 2017

This line of elastomer-based coatings can cost-effectively transform metal, built-up, modified bitumen, and aged single-ply roofs into reflective cool roofs.

The Roof Guardian line includes RG-170, a white finish coat with a solar reflectance index (SRI) of 109, and RG-180, a fibered white coating (SRI 108) that achieves a Class A fire rating. The coatings are formulated using an acrylic polymer base for enhanced adhesion and durability, and resistance to cracking and peeling.

They can be applied with a commercial-grade sprayer, roller, or brush.
