Roof coatings offer a valuable way to extend the life of aging roof systems, allowing building owners to avoid costly tear-offs while restoring performance, improving energy efficiency and adding years of service life to an existing roof. Fluid Applied Roofing (FAR) has developed a system that simplifies installation for contractors while delivering the durability needed for a restoration solution.
One of the biggest challenges contractors face with coatings projects is working around unpredictable weather. Long cure times can delay progress and expose freshly applied coatings to potential wash-off if rain arrives too soon. FAR’s system is designed with rapid curing technology, allowing the material to become rain-resistant in as little as about 30 minutes. This means faster project completion, less risk from weather events and increased production capacity over the course of a season.
Additionally, FAR approaches reinforcement differently. Many traditional coating systems rely on polyester fabrics or seam tapes to reinforce seams, penetrations and transitions. While effective, these materials add additional steps to the installation process. FAR’s FiberSeal Base is a sprayable, fiber-infused base layer designed to seal seams and strengthen the entire roof surface without requiring separate reinforcement fabrics. By eliminating some of the most time-consuming parts of the process, you can move more efficiently from prep to final coating.
Because FAR’s system creates a fully adhered, seamless membrane across the roof surface, it helps reduce the number of vulnerable points where water can enter the system. The hybrid coating technology combines strength and flexibility to help the membrane withstand movement, weather exposure and long-term wear.
Offering restoration solutions like FAR can open new opportunities with customers who may not have budgeted for a complete reroof. Not only are you strengthening the system, you can also provide these additional benefits:
At the end of the day, you need roofing systems that work efficiently in the field. Simplified installation, dependable performance and faster project timelines all help your crews stay productive while delivering quality results for your customers.
Unlock the potential of the FAR system for your next commercial project.
