Acrylic Roof Coatings for Modified Bitumen

Acrylic Roof Coatings for Modified Bitumen & Built-Up Roofs in Texas

Extend the Life of Your Flat Roof with a Seamless, Reflective Protective System

Aging modified bitumen (mod-bit) and built-up roofs (BUR) are common across commercial buildings in Texas — and so are the challenges that come with them: UV degradation, membrane cracking, rising cooling costs, and costly tear-off options.

Acrylic roof coatings offer a cost-effective, minimally disruptive solution to restore these systems and add years of protection — without the expense of full replacement.

Why Acrylic Is Ideal for Mod-Bit & BUR Roofs

✅ UV Resistance for Asphalt-Based Roofs
Asphalt membranes are prone to drying, cracking, and blistering under Texas sun. Acrylic coatings reflect solar radiation and add a flexible, waterproof top layer.

✅ Seamless Monolithic Finish
Acrylic coatings are applied as a single, seamless membrane, ideal for bridging small cracks and sealing minor splits in older mod-bit and BUR systems.

✅ Cost Savings Compared to Re-Roofing
Full BUR or mod-bit tear-offs can be messy and expensive. Acrylic coating systems deliver protection and energy efficiency at a fraction of the cost.

✅ Enhanced Reflectivity
Elastomeric white coatings reduce roof surface temperatures, helping cut energy bills and improve interior comfort — especially in low-rise commercial buildings.

Typical Buildings That Use These Systems

✔ Warehouses & distribution centers
✔ Schools & public facilities
✔ Medical offices & clinics
✔ Shopping centers with flat roofs
✔ Industrial or civic buildings with older mod-bit/BUR installations

Our Proven Acrylic Coating Process

1. Roof Assessment

   • Identify cracks, blisters, degraded seams, or ponding issues

   • Check for coating suitability and drainage capacity

2. Surface Preparation

   • Pressure wash and clean existing membrane

   • Repair cracks and reinforce seams as needed

3. Primer & Base Coat

   • Prime where necessary for adhesion

   • Apply elastomeric base coat with embedded mesh if required

4. Reflective Top Coat

   • Final white acrylic layer to reflect heat and seal the system

5. Inspection & Optional Warranty

   • We offer full walkthroughs, photo documentation, and extended system warranties
