Why Acrylic Coatings Are Key For Everlasting Roofs

By Evelyn Witterholt. 

Learn why acrylic roof coatings are an ideal choice for long-lasting roofs. 

Roof coatings are seeing a rise in popularity amongst building owners for a variety of reasons. Roof coating systems are easy to install, environmentally friendly and don’t cost a lot to maintain. Acrylic coatings in particular are an ideal choice for those who want a long-term reflective cool roof. For customers interested in an everlasting roof, consider the Ever-Crylic® line from Everroof.  

The main feature of this line is the Ever-Crylic Top Coat, a 100% acrylic, elastomeric top coat that can be used on a variety of substrates. Roof coatings are great for building owners who don’t want or need a complete roof tear-off. The Ever-Crylic Top Coat can be applied over single-ply, BUR and metal roofs and it comes in tan, gray and white. Everroof offers other colors by special request. 

Once installed, this acrylic roof system creates a seamless, waterproof roof that reflects solar well. To get the most out of this roof coating system, we recommend you have it installed with the line’s base coats. The Ever-Crylic line offers two types of base coats: a standard base coat and a quick set (QS) base coat. 

The standard Ever-Crylic Base Coat is a 100% acrylic, self-priming base coat that is an ideal choice for older roofs. It offers weatherability, wet adhesion and tensile strength when used with the top coat. The Ever-Crylic Quick Set (QS) Base Coat offers quicker installation times and can be used on asphalt, metal and single-ply roofing. It also prevents asphalt bleeding and prolongs the overall lifespan of the roof. Because every roof has different needs, Everroof recommends contractors check with their technical consultants for specific application instructions.
