Among many other risks, your roof is susceptible to the threat of pest and pollutants. Pest waste, mold, fungus and other microorganisms can be destructive to the integrity of your roof. Your roof is working to protect your home from toxins and environmental hazards, but what is protecting your roof materials?
Roof Coatings
There are many forms of roof coating systems, all working to serve a specific function. White roof coatings are designed to reflect the sun’s rays and prevent heat absorption, thereby lowering the need for traditional energy consumption to balance the internal temperature of the building. As an eco-friendly product, white roof systems have gained popularity in the green roofing industry in recent years.
A new type of roof coating system is available that offers antimicrobial protection of your roof system. The Clear-Shield Rx system is a clear-acrylic, non-toxic coating that prevents bacterial and fungal growth on the surface of your roof. This new technology protects your roof from the damaging effects of such microorganisms, which can lead to corrosion of your roof materials and an increased risk of health hazards inside the home. The Clear-Shield system can be applied to a variety of roofing surfaces and has the potential to improve the quality of the air being drawn into facilities by preventing contaminated growth on roof surfaces.
The Clear-Shield Rx system was developed by The Garland Company Inc, a leader in high-performance roofing solutions.
