Silicone roof systems are the fastest growing segment of the low-slope roofing market due to this innovate solution for older roofs The silicone roof coating systems by either Gaco or Mule-Hide provide a proven, guaranteed solution for renewing your weathered roof. It 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:
Silicone forms a seamless membrane that withstands permanent ponding water without softening.
Silicone is permanent and will not degrade, chalk or crack under harsh UV rays.
Silicone creates a smooth surface that offers excellent resistance to mold, mildew and staining.
The key benefits of silicone roof systems include: • Avoid time-consuming and costly tear offs • Reduce Energy Costs • Improve solar panel productivity • Labor and Material Warranties • Extends the life of your roof
A silicone roof system is a liquid-applied coating that is installed over an existing low-slope or flat roof. Once cured, it forms a seamless, waterproof membrane that protects the roof from UV damage, ponding water, and weather aging without requiring a full tear-off.
Silicone roofing is ideal when your existing roof is still structurally sound but has surface wear, small leaks, or areas with ponding water. It works well on EPDM, modified bitumen, TPO, metal, and built-up roofing systems without having to remove the old roof.
Yes. When installed correctly, silicone creates a watertight seal over seams, cracks, and penetrations. Because the membrane is seamless, it can help prevent future leaks as long as the underlying roof remains structurally intact.
Yes, silicone is one of the few roofing products that can withstand permanent ponding water without breaking down, cracking, or chalking. This makes it ideal for flat roofs where drainage is a challenge.
Silicone performs very well in Rhode Island’s snow, sun, ice, and coastal moisture. It resists UV damage, does not become brittle in cold weather, and handles temperature swings without splitting or shrinking.
In most cases, a tear-off is not required. We clean, repair, and prepare the existing roof, then apply the silicone coating directly. This approach saves time, reduces cost, and avoids unnecessary debris and disruption to the building.
Yes. Silicone’s reflective surface helps reduce roof surface temperatures and reduce heat transfer into the building. That can help lower cooling costs and improve solar panel performance when installed on rooftop solar arrays.
Yes, silicone roofing can be used on residential low-slope or flat roof areas, like porch roofs, additions, or sections that connect to shingle roofs, as long as the existing roof surface is in suitable condition for restoration.
A professionally installed silicone roof system can provide many years of protection depending on the thickness applied, underlying roof condition, and maintenance. We include manufacturer-backed labor and material warranties when applicable.
The easiest way to begin is to schedule a free onsite inspection. We will evaluate the condition of your existing roof, explain whether silicone or another low-slope solution is best, and walk through warranty and restoration options with you.
