Commercial flat roofs are a popular choice for industrial facilities, warehouses, office complexes, and retail buildings across Colorado and Wyoming. However, their low-slope design makes them more vulnerable to ponding water, membrane breakdown, and leaks over time. At Trusted Roofing Exteriors, we help building owners and property managers restore aging flat roofs with premium-grade silicone roof coating systems—delivering watertight performance, energy savings, and long-term cost efficiency without disrupting your operations.

Why Flat Roofs Require Special Protection

Flat roofing systems such as TPO, EPDM, Modified Bitumen, BUR, and PVC are designed for strength and flexibility—but they’re not invincible. Constant UV exposure, foot traffic, freeze-thaw cycles, ponding water, and age-related wear can break down the membrane or seams, leading to costly leaks and interior damage.

Rather than investing in a full tear-off or replacement, many property owners are turning to silicone roof coatings—a modern, cost-effective solution that restores and protects the roof in place.

What Is a Silicone Roof Coating System?

Silicone roof coatings are a liquid-applied membrane that cures into a seamless, flexible, and fully waterproof layer over your existing flat roof. This advanced coating system not only seals current leaks but also protects the roof from future damage due to water, UV rays, and temperature swings.

Key Benefits Include:

• Creates a fully adhered, monolithic membrane with no seams or fasteners
• Fills cracks, voids, and minor punctures to stop leaks immediately
• Reflects sunlight to reduce roof temperatures and energy costs
• Withstands ponding water indefinitely (unlike acrylic coatings)
• Extends roof life by 10–20 years with proper application
• Avoids costly tear-offs and landfill waste
• Qualifies for renewable NDL (No Dollar Limit) manufacturer warranties

Compatible With All Major Flat Roof Types

Silicone roof coatings work on virtually any commercial flat roofing system. Here’s how we restore different types of commercial roofs:

EPDM (Rubber Roofs)

Silicone adheres directly to cleaned and primed EPDM membranes, eliminating the need for removal. It seals seams and weathered surfaces while remaining flexible in freezing temperatures.

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)

TPO membranes often suffer from seam separation and UV degradation. Silicone coating adds a protective top layer that blocks UV exposure and waterproofs vulnerable areas.

Modified Bitumen (Torch Down or Peel-and-Stick)

Older mod-bit roofs tend to develop cracks and dry out over time. A silicone overlay seals the granulated surface and restores waterproof performance with minimal prep work.

Built-Up Roofing (BUR / Gravel Roofs)

For aged BUR systems, we first remove loose gravel, clean the surface, and install a base layer before applying silicone. This process saves the structural integrity of the roof and dramatically improves waterproofing.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

Although durable, PVC can become brittle with age. Silicone coatings restore flexibility and offer additional UV protection—while preserving the underlying membrane.

Ideal for Ponding Water & Harsh Weather

Silicone is especially suited for commercial roofs with ponding or standing water—common in flat roof designs. Unlike acrylic coatings, silicone resists water absorption, doesn’t chalk or degrade under UV rays, and maintains its elasticity in extreme heat or cold.

This makes it perfect for buildings in the Colorado Front Range and Cheyenne, WY, where snow melts, summer heat, and hailstorms are part of the norm.

Energy-Efficient Roofing That Pays You Back

In addition to restoring waterproofing, white silicone coatings reflect up to 90% of UV rays, significantly lowering rooftop temperatures. This reduces heat transfer into the building, cutting cooling costs for large commercial spaces.

Many of our clients qualify for utility rebates and tax incentives when installing reflective roof systems under energy efficiency programs.

The Commercial Advantage: Why Building Owners Choose Silicone Coatings

• Minimally Disruptive – No tear-off or downtime; ideal for occupied commercial properties
• Lower Total Cost of Ownership – Avoids expensive replacements while extending roof life
• Sustainable – Reduces waste and supports green building initiatives
• Fast Return on Investment – With reduced energy use and repair costs, many systems pay for themselves in 3–5 years
• Warrantied Protection – Coatings can come with 10–20-year manufacturer warranties, depending on system build-up
