A roof is considered a low slope if over the course of 12 inches the roof rises under 2 inches.
In roofing there are two types, a Steep Slope and a Low Slope. Low Slopes are very common on commercial buildings with modern designs. A Flat or Low Sloped Roof can have many advantages. the first of which being it is more water resistant than a higher sloped roof. It has to be. Steeper roofs allow water to trickle down the slope and into gutters. A more flat roofing system has a full area membrane that is water tight.Â
Because roof coatings are highly reflective and UV resistant, building owners and facility managers can save money by drastically reducing cooling costs. Minimizing the sun’s impact on the roofing surface helps to sustain lower energy costs as the system ages and helps extend roof life.
Roof coatings are among the most cost-effective and durable coatings on the market. Building owners and facility managers can save thousands of dollars by installing an acrylic-based roofing system on their building.
Once applied, roof coatings form a flexible, durable, seamless membrane capable of withstanding wind-driven sand, oxidation, and extreme temperatures. Because the fluid-applied coating is a moisture cure substance, it forms an impermeable seal that resists moisture penetration and protects against effects of ponding water.
