For this project in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, we completed a UniFlex 100% silicone roof restoration system designed to restore and extend the life of the existing flat roof. Rather than replacing the entire roofing system, the homeowner chose a seamless coating solution to improve waterproofing and protect the roof from the harsh effects of UV exposure and standing water.
Silicone roof coatings provide an effective way to renew aging flat roofs while creating a durable, weather-resistant membrane.
Before applying the coating system, our team performed a thorough inspection of the roof to evaluate its condition and identify areas requiring additional attention.
The preparation process included:
Proper preparation is essential to ensure maximum adhesion and long-term performance of the silicone coating system.
Flat roofs are particularly vulnerable around seams, flashings, and roof penetrations. To strengthen these critical areas, we reinforced the roof where needed using trail silicone.
Special attention was given to:
Addressing these vulnerable areas helps prevent future leaks and improves the overall integrity of the roof.
Once the roof was properly prepared, we applied the UniFlex 100% Silicone Roof Coating System at the manufacturer-specified thickness.
This seamless application provides several benefits, including:
Unlike traditional coatings, silicone creates a continuous membrane with no seams, helping minimize potential leak points.
After the coating was installed, we conducted a final inspection to verify proper coverage and ensure all areas were protected according to manufacturer specifications.
The completed system provides renewed protection and improved performance while helping preserve the existing roof structure.
This project demonstrates how a silicone roof restoration system can provide an effective alternative to a full roof replacement. By combining thorough preparation with a seamless coating application, the existing roof received a renewed layer of protection designed for long-term performance.
