What Is Fluid Applied Roofing?

Fluid applied roofing is a seamless coating system that creates a monolithic, waterproof membrane directly over your existing flat or low-slope roof. Unlike traditional roofing that requires tearing off the old material, fluid-applied systems restore and protect the roof you already have.

The coating is applied as a liquid that cures into a durable, flexible membrane. Because it is seamless, there are no joints, seams, or fasteners where leaks typically start. The result is a watertight barrier that can extend your roof's life by 15 to 20 years.

This technology is ideal for commercial buildings with flat or low-slope roofs, including warehouses, retail centers, office buildings, and industrial facilities.

Works on Most Flat Roof Types

Fluid applied coatings are compatible with the most common commercial flat roofing systems.

Built-Up Roofing (BUR)

Traditional tar and gravel roofs. Coating seals and extends life.

Modified Bitumen

Rolled asphalt membranes. Coating restores flexibility and waterproofing.

TPO Membranes

Single-ply thermoplastic. Coating adds protection and extends warranty.

EPDM Rubber

Synthetic rubber membrane. Coating seals seams and prevents shrinkage.

Metal Roofs

Standing seam and corrugated. Coating prevents rust and seals fasteners.

Spray Polyurethane Foam

SPF systems. Recoating extends protection and maintains insulation.

Professional-Grade Coating Systems

We recommend the right coating system based on your roof type, drainage characteristics, and budget.

Silicone Coating

Best For
Ponding water, high UV exposure
Benefits
Excellent UV resistance, handles ponding water, highly reflective (cool roof), 15 to 20 year life
Ideal For: Flat roofs with drainage challenges

Acrylic Coating

Best For
Well-draining roofs, budget-conscious projects
Benefits
Cost-effective, good UV protection, easy to apply, recoatable, 10 to 15 year life
Ideal For: Sloped roofs with good drainage

Polyurethane Coating

Best For
High-traffic roofs, extreme durability
Benefits
Superior impact resistance, handles foot traffic, excellent adhesion, 15 to 20 year life
Ideal For: Roofs with equipment, frequent maintenance access

How Fluid Applied Roofing Works

1

Free Roof Assessment

We inspect your existing roof to determine if fluid-applied restoration is appropriate.

2

Surface Preparation

We clean the roof surface thoroughly, removing dirt, debris, and loose material. Proper prep is critical for adhesion.

3

Primer Application

A primer coat is applied to ensure proper bonding between your existing roof and the new coating system.

4

Coating Application

The fluid coating is applied in multiple passes to achieve proper thickness. Reinforcing fabric may be embedded at seams.

5

Final Inspection & Documentation

We perform a final quality inspection, document the work with photos, and provide warranty information.

Fluid Applied vs RoofMaxx: Which Do You Need?

Both solutions extend roof life and save money — but they serve different roof types.
