Gaco offers a complete portfolio of coating solutions to meet your commercial roofing needs, whether you’re performing repairs, maintenance, or roof restoration. Our silicone, acrylic, and urethane coating products are backed by decades of industry experience, best-in-class warranties, and a network of nationwide sales and technical support teams.

Each coating can be used to maintain and extend the life of an existing roof system or be paired with GacoRoofFoam to make a complete roofing system. But every roof is unique, and every situation is different. Coatings are not “one size fits all.”  Some of these versatile coatings can even be used in decking and waterproofing applications, such as pedestrian and vehicular deck systems.

Silicone Roofing Solutions

Re-cover, don’t re-roof. You’ll save money, time and aggravation and avoid time-consuming and costly tear-offs.

Whether your roof is large or small, flat or sloped, GacoFlex Silicone Roof Coatings provide a proven, guaranteed solution for renewing your weathered roof. They can be applied to virtually any existing roofing surface to create a seamless membrane that protects against permanent ponding water, ultraviolet light and severe weather.

The key advantages of using a silicone roofing coating are:

• Silicone is permanent and will not degrade, chalk or crack under harsh UV rays.
• Silicone forms a seamless membrane that withstands permanent ponding water without softening.
• Silicone creates a smooth surface that offers excellent resistance to mold, mildew and staining.

Urethane Coatings

Urethane coatings excel in durability, impact, and chemical resistance. They surpass both silicone and acrylic in terms of tensile strength, and stand up well to extreme weather. Gaco urethanes are available as single and plural component systems. Single component systems are easy and fast to apply. Plural component systems offer enhancements in physical properties and adhesion. And when an aromatic base coat is combined with an aliphatic top coat, a urethane roof coating like UA60 will retain its reflectivity longer.

Acrylic Coatings

Acrylic coatings hold the largest segment of the commercial roof coatings market. They’re a great way to add life to a roof while also transitioning it to a reflective surface that helps you save on cooling costs. That’s because acrylic coatings are highly reflective.

Acrylics are most popular in high heat, low humidity environments where ponding water is not a concern. And since acrylic coatings are water-based, they’re easy to apply and clean up — the definition of user-friendly. There’s no component mixing and clean up can be completed with soap and water. Expect quality aesthetics through the coating’s life and a hard-to-beat price point for the performance.
