In the maintenance of industrial buildings, the condition of roof structures is one of the most critical factors in ensuring continuity of production, energy efficiency and safety. Polyurea coating gives your old felt roof a new, long-lasting and seamless protection with a durable polyurea coating – without the need for fireproofing.
Why is polyurea an excellent choice for industrial sites?
Polyurea is a cutting-edge coating material that offers a combination of properties that few other coating solutions can match:
- Seamless and completely sealed surface – prevents water, snow, moss and ice from penetrating structures.
- Excellent chemical and oil resistance – ideal for industrial applications where chemical splashes or emissions may accumulate on the roof surface.
- High mechanical resistance – withstands wear and tear and temperature fluctuations from year to year.
- Quick installation – minimises site time.
- No need for matches – reduces occupational safety risks and simplifies the permitting process.
Energy efficiency and a light roof – a winning combination
Polyurea coating can be applied in a variety of colours, but a light-coloured coating offers particular benefits. Up to 55% of the sun’s radiation is invisible thermal radiation (infrared radiation), which heats the roof surface. A light-coloured roof reflects heat radiation effectively, which:
- Reduces roof surface temperatures by up to 20-30°C compared to a dark surface.
- Reduces the need for indoor cooling and saves energy costs.
- Improves the efficiency of solar panels thanks to cooler operating temperatures.
- Extends the life of the roof by protecting the surface from UV-induced brittleness.
A long-lived investment
Polyurea coating is not just a temporary solution – when done and maintained correctly, it can protect your roof for decades. This reduces the need for roof renovations and saves significant costs in the long run.
Summary
Polyurea coating is a roofing solution for industrial buildings that combines tightness, chemical and UV resistance and energy efficiency. It is particularly suitable for factories, warehouses and other large buildings where roof functionality and freedom from maintenance are critical.
If you want to ensure that your roof will continue to protect your property effectively and economically for years to come, polyurea is a solution worth serious consideration.
