The Gulf region of the United States is subjected to harsh conditions, such as scorching heat and high humidity. As a result, the materials on buildings in this region are subjected to ultraviolet (UV) degradation and corrosion. After 30 plus years of weathering, Saint Joseph’s Church in Galliano, Louisiana contacted All-Tech Coatings to restore the standing seam metal roof to its former glory. To ensure a proper, long-lasting restoration, All-Tech Coatings chose PPG’s Coraflon ADS coating with Lumiflon FEVE fluoropolymer resins.

Lumiflon FEVE Resins Are The Subject Of School Roof Restoration

Throughout the United States, schools with metal roofs have become commonplace. The roofs’ protective coatings are applied directly to the metal coils during manufacturing, from which the roof panels are formed. However, when these roofs begin to show signs of deterioration, the entire roof needs to be stripped, primed and recoated. All-Tech Decorating Company (ATD) and PPG’s Coraflon ADS with Lumiflon FEVE Resin gives school roofs factory-like fluoropolymer finishes with higher durability, gloss rate, gloss retention, weatherability and corrosion resistance than the former factory applied finishes for perfect roof restoration.

Lumiflon FEVE Based Coatings Make Metal Roof Restoration Easy

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.

LUMIFLON FEVE Based Coatings Transform Metal Roof Corrosion

The integrity and appearance of the 8,000 s/f metal roof of the Village Harbor Office was undermined due to the roof panels’ loss of adhesion and red rust corrosion through the factory baked-on finish. The Village Harbor Association, owner of the building, needed a low-maintenance, field-applied coating system that would withstand South Carolina’s demanding climate, retain color strength and gloss, and offer a long term warranty.

LUMIFLON FEVE Resin Used to Restore Metal Roof Degradation

The standing seam metal roof of the Wolfe Residence, located in Crested Butte, Colorado had suffered severe degradation resulting in the peeling of the factory finish down to the galvanized substrate. The damage occurred at an accelerated rate due to the excessive snow and ice loads experienced at the 7,000-foot elevation of the Rocky Mountains. As a result, the roof’s integrity was undermined.
