Installing a Silicone Recoating

American-Weatherstar-Silicone-Recoating
August 17, 2017 at 6:23 a.m.

Many Silicone-coated roofs are aging and in need of repair and recoating.

Silicone coatings have become increasingly popular over the past 10 years. Many of those roofs that used a silicone restoration are now in need of repair or recoating. We see a great opportunity for American Weatherstar contractors to benefit from repairing and recoating these roofs as they reach the end of their service life.

In this video, American Weatherstar President Brian O’Donnell joins Thomas Roofing Service Manager Lisa Irby on a rooftop in need of recoating to explain the process. They are on a 100,000-square foot roof located in Mobile, Alabama that was previously coated with silicone.  The building owner asked Thomas Roofing to come in and inspect and recoat the roof.

Before the job started the Thomas Roofing crew cleaned a small section of the roof to perform an adhesion test. This is done to ensure the silicone recoat would adhere to the existing system.

The Thomas team inspected and repaired any areas that were peeling, repaired drains and checked all penetrations. They used American Weatherstar’s Terminator 622, a hybrid product that is designed to adhere to silicone, on a few small areas that needed repair before the recoating. After all repairs were made, the surface was power washed and prepped for installation.

Upon completion, a third-party inspection was done to ensure that the system met American Weatherstar’s standards, after which a ten-year warranty was issued.
