The Purpose of Metal Roof Coatings
The metal roof has been garnering loyal homeowners as they begin to appreciate its value, function, and benefits. It is one of the sturdiest roofing materials out there, and the reason behind its long-lasting performance is thanks to its durable coatings.
Read on as HutchCo Home & Bath, the leading gutter covers manufacturer, discusses the importance of coatings for metal roofs.
How Many Layers Should a Roof Surface Have?
The ideal layers each metal roof should have are five: first the base metal, then zinc coating, conversion coating, primer coating, and a finish coating. These coatings help seal any microscopic cracks and resist moisture, salt, acid rain, and other corrosion-causing damage.
What Are the Types of Paint Coatings Used on Roofs?
There are different types of coatings available on the market for every roofing system and their protection. These include acrylic emulsions, fluoropolymers, and polyesters.
The acrylic polymers are ideal for homeowners who value sustainability because they have environmentally friendly properties. The second type called the fluoropolymers has impressive resistance to solvents and acids, making it perfect for roofs in areas with erratic weather. And lastly, the polyesters, are the cost-efficient choice but fade and chalk over time.
Why Should Homeowners Invest in Protective Roof Coatings?
You’ll never go wrong with investing in the safety and protection of your family by maintaining a healthy roofing system. The best way to ensure a longer service life with the same quality of performance is through applying protective coatings. Not only will it extend the life span of your roof but it will also maintain its color and appeal for a long time.

I highly recommend Carolina Gutter Helmet in Greer S.C. They did an excellent job on my bath tub to shower project. It was 1 and a half day completion. Very professional and courteous staff .The tare out and install was expedient. They cleaned up and took away all that wad needed. Call them for a job that you need well done. I love my new shower.
We had a full size retractable awning replaced due to tropical storm Helene and another awning installed in its place within a couple of hours. Great job and I would highly recommend Carolina Gutter Helmet for any of your awning needs! Thank you again!
We ordered a Sunsetter Awning from Carolina Gutter Helmet. The sales person was knowledgeable about the awning and was very pleasant to deal with. The awning was installed 4 weeks later and it only took them 2-3 hours to finish. We received cookies in the mail a few weeks later thanking us for our business. The people at Carolina Gutter Helmet are experts at customer service. We are very pleased with their service and the awning.
I had a tub to walk in shower conversion. What they did was more than I expected. The installers were total professionals and they did a beautiful job. They walked me through everything and cleaned up before they left. Total satisfaction on my part.
