What Does Aluminum Coating Do for My Flat Roof?

Aluminum coating can make a noticeable difference for flat roofs, especially when it comes to protecting them from the sun’s damaging UV rays. At Anchor Point Roofing in Chicago, we use Lucas 608 Aluminum Coating on flat roofs to help reduce roof temperatures and improve the lifespan of your roofing material.

Unlike traditional roofing solutions, aluminum coating is not leak-preventative. Its main benefit is UV protection, reflecting sunlight and keeping your roof cooler. This can help reduce heat buildup on the roof, lower energy costs, and extend the life of your roofing materials. For modified bitumen roofs, the results can be significant, helping the roof stay cooler and more durable over time.

Lucas 608 Aluminum Coating is a high-quality, reflective coating designed specifically for flat roofs. Its reflective properties protect the roofing material from sun damage while providing a long-lasting, durable layer of protection. Please note, this coating is not suitable for TPO, EPDM, or PVC roofing membranes, but it works exceptionally well on modified bitumen roofs.
