What Is Silicone Roofing?
Silicone roofing refers to the application of a liquid-applied silicone coating directly over your existing commercial roofing system. Once cured, this coating forms a seamless, flexible, and waterproof membrane that protects your roof from weather, UV rays, ponding water, and more.
Silicone roofing is an ideal solution for restoring aging flat or low-slope roofs. It can be applied to most commercial roofing systems, including TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, metal, and built-up roofing (BUR).
Benefits of Silicone Roof Coatings
Many commercial property owners in the St. Louis area are turning to silicone roofing for its powerful performance and long-term value. Here’s why:
- Excellent Waterproofing: Silicone coatings resist ponding water better than almost any other material, making them ideal for flat roofs with poor drainage.
- UV & Weather Resistant: Silicone reflects sunlight and withstands harsh weather, including extreme heat, hail, and snow.
- Energy Efficient: The white reflective surface reduces roof temperatures and cooling costs during hot Missouri summers.
- Seamless & Flexible: Applied as a liquid, silicone creates a monolithic barrier with no seams that can fail.
- Cost-Effective: Silicone coatings are significantly less expensive than a full tear-off and replacement.
- Low Maintenance: Silicone roofs require minimal upkeep and are easy to recoat when needed.
- Extends Roof Life: A silicone coating can add 10 to 20 years of performance to an existing roof.

Our Silicone Roofing Services

Unique Problems Silicone Roofing Helps Solve
“My roof has ponding water.”
Flat roofs with poor drainage often suffer from standing water, which can degrade most roofing materials. Silicone resists ponding and prevents water intrusion, making it one of the best solutions for this issue.
“I can’t afford business disruptions.”
Unlike full roof replacements, silicone roofing is fast and non-disruptive. There’s no tear-off, minimal equipment, and no need to shut down operations during installation.
“I’m worried about the cost of replacing my roof.”
Silicone coatings restore your current roof and add years of protection, at a fraction of the cost of full replacement. Silicone roof coating prices are generally more affordable, making coatings a sound investment.
“I need to lower my building’s energy use.”
The reflective surface of silicone reduces rooftop temperatures and can significantly cut your cooling costs during the summer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Silicone Roofing
How long does a silicone roof coating last?
Most silicone coatings last 10 to 20 years with proper application and occasional maintenance. Recoating can extend the lifespan even further.
Can a silicone coating stop leaks?
Yes. Once applied, silicone forms a seamless waterproof membrane that seals existing leaks and prevents new ones from forming.
What kind of roof is eligible for silicone coating?
We can apply silicone coatings to most flat or low-slope roofs, including EPDM, TPO, metal, and built-up systems, as long as the roof is dry and structurally sound.
Is silicone better than acrylic?
Both have their strengths, but silicone performs better in ponding water and offers longer durability in harsh climates. We’ll help you choose the right coating based on your specific roof.
