Lumiflon FEVE Based Coatings Make Metal Roof Restoration Easy

Categories Roofing
Factory applied coatings on metal roofs tend to degrade much sooner than the anticipated building’s lifespan. Since factory finishes are baked on, the only viable method of roof restoration is field application. Deteriorated roof coatings must be stripped, cleaned and sprayed on site; a job for which dedicated contractors are required. The inclusion of Lumiflon FEVE resins in coatings, such as PPG’s Coraflon ADS (air-dry system), help provide a coating with low-maintenance properties.

The architectural and construction industry have been specifying and utilizing protective coatings for generations. These coatings work to prevent deterioration caused by impact and environmental factors. They are used to maintain durability and aesthetics, while greatly reducing maintenance costs by increasing the life of the finish. Without protection from ultra-violet radiation, wind, rain, and other environmental impacts, a beautifully constructed project can quickly lose its luster. These factors can result in deterioration and render aesthetics awash of their former brilliance, leading to extensive costs to repair, correct and restore.
