Silicone coatings are known for outstanding UV stability and resistance to ponding water. Because silicones are solvent-based, they won’t wash off if rain hits before the coating has fully cured — unlike many acrylics. The silicone Austermiller installs is a premium, 95%-solids product, so less liquid is needed to achieve the required 40-mil dry film thickness for a 20-year warranty. All applications are performed by manufacturer-trained professionals, sealing every seam and screw head.

Silicone roof coatings can reflect approximately 80–90% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. For facility managers and property owners, that reduction in solar heat gain can translate to lower cooling costs during warm months and less strain on HVAC systems. Unlike other chemistries, silicone won’t degrade, chalk, or crack under prolonged sun exposure. We apply silicone by roller to ensure full coverage without overspray on walls or vehicles — thermal drone footage confirms roofs finished with premium silicone coatings typically run 30 to 40 degrees cooler.
