Flexible ProtectionThat Moves With You.

Yes, elastomeric coatings can bridge and seal hairline cracks up to approximately 1/16" wide. For larger cracks, we fill them with compatible sealant before coating application. The elastic properties help prevent new cracks from forming as the building expands and contracts.

Elastomeric coatings provide excellent waterproofing when properly applied at recommended thickness. However, like acrylic, they're not ideal for areas with prolonged ponding water. For roofs with drainage issues, silicone is the better choice. Elastomeric works best on roofs where water drains within 48 hours.

Elastomeric coatings are typically applied at 20-30 mils dry film thickness, achieved through multiple coats. The first coat fills surface imperfections, and subsequent coats build up the protective membrane. We verify thickness throughout application to ensure proper coverage.

Elastomeric coatings have excellent adhesion to most substrates including metal, concrete, stucco, wood, masonry, built-up roofing, modified bitumen, and single-ply membranes. This versatility makes elastomeric ideal for buildings with multiple roof types or complex surfaces.

Quality elastomeric coatings last 10-15 years with proper application and maintenance. Lifespan depends on climate, UV exposure, and maintenance. Like other coatings, elastomeric can be recoated to extend protection indefinitely without tear-off.
