Industrial Roof Coatings

What Are Industrial Roof Coatings?

Industrial roof coatings, such as Sharmans’ Delcote® and Seamsil® systems, are specialised silicone coatings engineered specifically for commercial metal roofs. These coatings are designed to protect against weathering, UV degradation, and the common issue of cut edge corrosion, which can significantly shorten the lifespan of metal roof sheets. Industrial roof coatings are applied directly to the surface of an existing metal roof, creating a protective barrier that prevents further degradation and leaks. This protective layer ensures that your roof remains functional for decades, reducing the need for expensive replacements.

The Sustainability Factor in Industrial Roof Coatings

One of the biggest advantages of industrial roof coatings is their sustainability. With climate change and environmental responsibility becoming key priorities for industries, refurbishing a metal roof with industrial roof coatings is a far more eco-friendly option than a full roof replacement. Sharmans has found that their industrial roof coatings can reduce embodied carbon by up to five times compared to traditional roof replacement methods. This means that by choosing roof refurbishment over replacement, not only do you save on cost, but you also minimise your carbon footprint—an increasingly important factor for businesses with environmental commitments.

The Cost-Effectiveness of Industrial Roof Coatings

Replacing a metal roof can be a costly and disruptive process for any industrial facility. However, by applying industrial roof coatings, businesses can achieve the same lifespan and protection for a fraction of the cost. These coatings address existing issues like fabric degradation, water ingress, and cut edge corrosion, meaning your roof is reinforced to withstand the test of time. With Sharmans’ Delcote® and Seamsil® systems, industrial roof coatings can extend the life of a metal roof by up to 25 years, offering a cost-effective and long-lasting solution that delivers peace of mind for building owners, surveyors, and contractors.
