A little info on PolyUrea

Essentially, a polyurea roof coating is a high-performance protective membrane that is sprayed onto a roof as a liquid and dries almost instantly into a seamless, rubber-like layer. It's a type of elastomer, which means it's incredibly durable, flexible, and waterproof. Think of it as a resilient, long-lasting shield for your roof.

Here’s a bit more detail on what makes it so effective:

  • Exceptional Durability and Flexibility: Polyurea is renowned for its strength and ability to stretch and move with a building as it settles or expands and contracts with the temperature changes we see here in Oklahoma. This flexibility means it's highly resistant to cracking, peeling, and impact damage from things like hail.

  • Superior Waterproofing: Because it's applied as a continuous, seamless layer, a polyurea coating eliminates the seams and joints found in other roofing systems, which are often the primary points of failure and leaks. It's so effective at containing liquids that it's also used to line tanks and secondary containment areas.

  • Extremely Fast Curing Time: One of the most remarkable features of polyurea is its rapid curing time. It can set and become tack-free in a matter of seconds. This allows for a very quick installation process, minimizing disruption to your home or business, and makes it less dependent on perfect weather conditions for application compared to other coatings.

  • Strong Adhesion: Polyurea forms a powerful bond with a wide variety of roofing substrates, including metal, concrete, wood, and even over existing spray foam insulation. This strong adhesion ensures a long-lasting, reliable protective layer.

In essence, a polyurea roof coating is a premium solution for extending the life of a roof, providing outstanding protection against water, weather, and physical damage
