FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does SiliconEx 500 Cost?

The cost depends on your roof size, the warranty system you choose, and the package size you need. SiliconEx 500 is available in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, and 265-gallon totes.

For larger commercial projects, contractor orders, pallet quantities, drums, or totes, contact SolarEx for project-specific and volume pricing.

Coverage depends on the required coating thickness and warranty system:

  • 10-Year System: approximately 1.5 gallons per 100 sq. ft.
  • 15-Year System: approximately 2.0 gallons per 100 sq. ft.
  • 20-Year System: approximately 2.5 gallons per 100 sq. ft.

Actual material requirements may vary depending on roof type, surface texture, condition, details, and primer or reinforcement requirements.

Not sure how much you need? Send us your roof size, roof type, and photos, and we can help estimate the required material.

SiliconEx 500 is designed for long-term roof restoration and protection. Depending on the roof system, application thickness, and surface preparation, 10-, 15-, and 20-year material warranty options may be available.

Warranty-qualified systems require proper surface preparation, repairs, detailing, and application at the required rate.

SiliconEx 500 can be used on many properly prepared roof systems, including:

  • Metal roofs
  • Modified bitumen
  • Built-up roofing
  • TPO
  • EPDM
  • PVC
  • Spray polyurethane foam
  • Concrete roof surfaces
  • Existing coatings, depending on condition and adhesion

Preparation requirements vary by substrate. Some roofs may require cleaning only, while others may require primer, rust treatment, bleed-blocking primer, or adhesion testing.

Send us photos of your roof and we can recommend the right system before you order.

Yes. Metal roofs are one of the best applications for silicone restoration when the roof is structurally sound.

Most metal roof leaks happen around:

  • Fasteners
  • Seams
  • Panel laps
  • Penetrations
  • Skylights
  • Curbs
  • Rusted areas

The recommended system is to clean the roof, treat rust where needed, seal fasteners and details with compatible silicone mastic, and then apply SiliconEx 500 as the field coating.

Yes. Ponding water resistance is one of the biggest advantages of silicone roof coatings.

Once cured, SiliconEx 500 forms a waterproof silicone membrane that resists softening or re-emulsifying under standing water. This makes it a strong option for flat and low-slope roofs where drainage is not perfect.

However, serious drainage problems, wet insulation, structural damage, or failed roof areas should be repaired before coating.

Primer depends on the roof substrate and condition.

General guidance:

  • Metal: rusted areas may require rust-inhibitive primer.
  • Modified bitumen / BUR: bleed-blocking primer is usually recommended.
  • TPO / EPDM / PVC: cleaning and adhesion testing are important; primer may be required.
  • Concrete: porous or dusty concrete may require a bonding or penetrating primer.
  • Existing coating: adhesion testing is recommended before coating.

Primer is not one-size-fits-all. The roof surface determines the system.

Yes. SiliconEx 500 can be applied by:

  • Airless spray
  • Roller
  • Brush

For large commercial roofs, airless spray is usually the most efficient method. Brush and roller application are commonly used for smaller areas, details, penetrations, and repairs.

It depends on the required system thickness.

High-solids silicone can build film efficiently, but very heavy single-coat applications can slow cure underneath the surface. For thicker systems, especially 15- or 20-year systems, multiple coats may be recommended to achieve the required film thickness properly.

The goal is not just to make the roof white, the goal is to achieve the required dry film thickness for long-term performance.

How Long Before Rain Should SiliconEx 500 Be Applied?

Apply SiliconEx 500 only when the roof is clean, dry, and no rain is expected for at least 24 hours.

Silicone is moisture-cure, but rain too soon after application can damage uncured coating, create surface defects, or affect film quality. Cool temperatures, shade, high humidity, or heavy application may require a longer dry window.

Recommended application conditions are generally:

  • Surface and ambient temperature: 50°F and rising
  • Preferred application range: 50°F–100°F
  • Relative humidity: 40%–70% preferred
  • Avoid rain, fog, dew, or wet surfaces

Very high humidity may cause the coating to skin over quickly while the material underneath cures more slowly.

Standard colors are:

  • White
  • Gray
  • Tan

Custom colors are available by order. Preparation time may vary depending on the color and available colorants. Once you confirm the color, we can check inventory and provide an estimated preparation time.

White is the most common color for cool roof applications because it provides the highest reflectivity.

Bulk quantities are typically available in stock, and orders usually ship the same day or next business day after payment is received.

Transit time depends on order size and delivery location. For larger commercial orders, we can provide estimated freight timing before shipment.

Clean uncured silicone as soon as possible after use. Suitable cleanup solvents may include mineral spirits, VM&P naphtha, or xylene, depending on the tools and situation.

Once silicone cures, it becomes very difficult to remove chemically, so cleaning tools before cure is important.

Always follow solvent safety instructions and local regulations.

SiliconEx 500 is moisture-cure. Once a pail is opened, exposure to air and humidity can start curing the material.

If material remains in the pail:

  • Use it as soon as possible.
  • Place plastic directly on the silicone surface to reduce air exposure.
  • Reseal the lid tightly.
  • For best storage, use a dry nitrogen blanket if available.

A thin skin on top does not always mean the material is bad. Remove the skin and check whether the material underneath is smooth and uniform. If the material is lumpy, gelled, or partially cured throughout, do not use it.

SiliconEx 500 is designed for roof restoration, but it is not the right solution for every situation.

It is not recommended for:

  • Structurally failed roofs
  • Roofs with wet insulation
  • Severely rusted metal roofs without repair
  • Loose, peeling, or poorly adhered existing coatings
  • Pools, tanks, or continuous immersion
  • Below-grade waterproofing
  • Walking decks or high-traffic surfaces without a proper traffic system
  • Asphalt shingle rejuvenation applications

If you are unsure whether your roof is a good candidate, send photos and basic roof information before ordering.

You can order SiliconEx 500 directly online or contact SolarEx for help with your project.

For larger roofs, drums, totes, contractor orders, or projects requiring a specific warranty system, contact us before ordering. We can help calculate material quantity, recommend the complete roof system, and provide a project-specific quote and shipping options.

Requires Routine MaintenanceA professional pressure wash every 6–12 months is generally sufficient to restore reflectivity and maintain peak performance.

Highly Flexible MembraneCreates a seamless waterproof barrier capable of accommodating thermal expansion, resisting oxidation, and tolerating extreme weather conditions.

More Demanding InstallationIts solvent-based formulation requires clean, well-maintained spray equipment and experienced applicators to achieve the best results.

High Solids FormulaMost 100% Silicone Roof Coating products contain more than 90% solids, allowing greater dry-film thickness with fewer application passes and reduced labor time.

Professional Application RecommendedProper surface preparation and installation techniques are essential to maximize coating performance and longevity.

Environmentally ResponsibleModern silicone coatings are typically low in VOCs, solvent-free, and compliant with strict environmental and safety regulations.

Overall, the benefits of silicone roof coating significantly outweigh its drawbacks in most commercial roofing applications. When installed correctly and maintained with periodic cleaning, it provides reliable waterproofing, outstanding UV protection, and a service life that can extend for decades. Understanding these Silicone roof coating pros and cons allows you to make a more informed investment and choose a roofing solution that delivers lasting value.

Silicone Coating vs. Total Roof Replacement

Silicone Coating vs. Total Roof Replacement

When a commercial roof begins to show signs of aging, many property owners assume that a complete roof replacement is the only solution. In reality, that is not always the case. If the existing roofing system is still structurally sound and free from extensive moisture damage, applying a silicone roof coating can restore its waterproof performance and significantly extend its service life without the expense and disruption of a full replacement. Industry experts generally recommend restoration when the roof is still in good structural condition, while replacement is reserved for roofs with severe deterioration or widespread substrate failure.

Comparison Factor

Recommended when the roof has severe structural damage, saturated insulation, or widespread membrane failure.

For many commercial buildings, restoring the existing roof with a silicone roof coating delivers an excellent balance between performance, longevity, and cost. However, if inspections reveal structural deterioration, trapped moisture, or extensive damage beneath the roofing membrane, a complete replacement becomes the more reliable long-term investment. Choosing the right solution starts with a professional roof assessment that evaluates the actual condition of the existing system rather than relying solely on its age.

Compatible Substrates: Can It Be Applied to Your Roof?

Compatible Substrates: Can It Be Applied to Your Roof?

One of the reasons silicone roof coating is widely used in commercial roofing is its compatibility with a broad range of roofing systems. When the existing roof is clean, dry, and structurally sound, a silicone coating can create a seamless waterproof membrane that enhances weather resistance, reflects UV radiation, and extends roof life without requiring a complete replacement. However, proper surface preparation and adhesion testing are always recommended before installation to ensure long-term performance.

EPDM Roofs

EPDM roofing membranes are among the most common substrates for silicone roof coating restoration. After thorough cleaning and the appropriate primer—when required—a silicone coating forms a durable waterproof barrier that helps protect the membrane from UV degradation and environmental aging.

TPO Roofs

TPO roofing systems are excellent candidates for silicone restoration. A properly installed coating improves weather resistance, minimizes heat absorption, and can significantly extend the service life of the existing roof while avoiding the expense of replacement.

PVC Roofs

PVC membranes can also benefit from 100% Silicone Roof Coating when the surface is properly prepared. The coating reinforces waterproofing performance and provides long-term protection against harsh weather conditions and prolonged sunlight exposure.

Metal Roofs

Metal roofs are one of the most popular applications for silicone roof coating. The coating seals fasteners, overlaps, and minor surface imperfections while protecting the roof against corrosion, moisture intrusion, and UV damage. It also helps reduce roof surface temperatures, improving overall energy efficiency.

Concrete Roof Decks

Concrete roofs naturally develop hairline cracks over time due to thermal movement. Silicone coatings provide a flexible, seamless membrane that bridges minor cracks, prevents water penetration, and protects the concrete from further weather-related deterioration.

Asphalt Built-Up Roofs (BUR)

Built-Up Roofing (BUR) systems can be successfully restored using silicone coatings when the roof remains structurally sound. Instead of removing the existing roof, the coating renews its waterproofing capabilities and extends its operational lifespan.

Modified Bitumen Roofs

Modified bitumen roofs are highly compatible with silicone roof coating because of their durable surface and excellent adhesion characteristics. Once applied, the coating enhances UV resistance, improves waterproofing, and reduces the effects of thermal expansion and contraction.

Selecting the Best silicone roof coating is only part of a successful roofing project. Equally important is confirming that the existing roofing substrate is suitable for restoration. A professional roof inspection ensures proper adhesion, maximizes long-term performance, and helps you achieve the full Silicone roof coating coverage and service life expected from a high-quality silicone roofing system.

Silicone Roof Coating Coverage

Silicone Roof Coating Coverage

One of the most common questions before starting a roofing project is how much area a silicone roof coating can cover. The answer depends on several factors, including the coating’s solids content, the condition of the existing roof, the required dry film thickness, and the manufacturer’s specifications. Applying the correct amount of material is essential to achieve the expected waterproofing performance, durability, and warranty coverage.

In general, the Silicone roof coating coverage of a high-quality product ranges between 2 and 3.5 gallons per 100 square feet. Smooth roof surfaces usually require less material, while rough or weathered substrates may need additional coating to achieve the recommended film thickness.

Roof Condition

Typical Application Rate

Expected Coverage

Smooth, well-maintained surface

2.0 gallons per 100 sq. ft.

Approximately 50 sq. ft. per gallon

Moderately weathered roof

2.5 gallons per 100 sq. ft.

Approximately 40 sq. ft. per gallon

Rough or heavily textured surface

3.0–3.5 gallons per 100 sq. ft.

Approximately 28–33 sq. ft. per gallon

It is important to remember that Silicone roof coating coverage should never be estimated based solely on roof size. Surface texture, existing repairs, seams, penetrations, and substrate porosity all influence the final material consumption. For this reason, professional contractors typically perform an on-site roof inspection before calculating the required coating quantity.

Using a premium 100% Silicone Roof Coating at the manufacturer’s recommended coverage rate ensures consistent membrane thickness, better UV protection, reliable waterproofing, and maximum long-term performance. Although applying less material may reduce the initial cost, it can compromise durability and shorten the expected lifespan of the roofing system.

Long-Term Protection: Warranties and Lifespan

Long-Term Protection: Warranties and Lifespan

One of the biggest advantages of a silicone roof coating is its long-term performance. When installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications and applied at the correct Silicone roof coating coverage, a high-quality silicone roofing system can provide 10 to 20 years of reliable protection against water intrusion, UV radiation, and weather-related deterioration. The exact lifespan depends on factors such as roof condition, coating thickness, climate, and routine maintenance.

Unlike traditional roofing systems, reaching the end of the warranty period does not necessarily mean the roof must be removed or replaced. In many cases, the existing silicone membrane remains firmly bonded to the substrate and continues to perform well. Instead of investing in a costly roof replacement, the system can be restored through a recoat process.

Recoat to Restore

One of the most valuable features of silicone roof coating is its ability to be renewed. After the original warranty expires, the roof is typically inspected, cleaned, and repaired where necessary before applying a new, thin layer of silicone over the existing coating. This process, commonly known as Recoat to Restore, restores the waterproof membrane, renews UV protection, and often qualifies the roof for an additional warranty period.

Compared with complete roof replacement, recoating offers several important benefits:

  • Extends the roof’s service life without removing the existing roofing system.
  • Reduces project costs and minimizes construction waste.
  • Requires less downtime and causes minimal disruption to building operations.
  • Restores waterproofing performance and solar reflectivity.
  • Provides an opportunity to renew the manufacturer’s warranty when installed according to specification.

For building owners looking for a sustainable, long-term roofing solution, a premium 100% Silicone Roof Coating offers more than immediate protection—it provides a renewable roofing system that can continue performing for decades with proper maintenance and timely recoating. This makes silicone roof coating one of the most cost-effective restoration solutions available for commercial and industrial roofs.

According to one of our customers’ experience: “After applying a silicone roof coating to our 45,000 sq. ft. warehouse roof, recurring leaks during heavy rainfall were eliminated, and summer roof surface temperatures noticeably decreased. Within the first year, our maintenance requirements were significantly reduced, making the coating a far more cost-effective solution than a complete roof replacement.”

This experience is far from an isolated case. Across independent silicone roof coating reviews, commercial property owners consistently point to the same results: fewer leaks, lower cooling costs, and years of maintenance-free performance. Reading through verified customer feedback before choosing a supplier is one of the simplest ways to confirm you are investing in a system that performs as promised.

Silicone Roof Coating Price

Silicone Roof Coating Price

The Silicone roof coating price can vary significantly from one project to another because every roof has different conditions and performance requirements. Rather than focusing only on the initial installation cost, it is important to consider the long-term value. A professionally installed silicone roof coating can reduce maintenance expenses, improve energy efficiency, and postpone the need for a full roof replacement, making it a cost-effective investment over time.

Several factors influence the final Silicone roof coating price:

  • Roof size – Larger roofs require more coating material and labor.
  • Roof condition – Damaged areas, cracks, or existing leaks may require repairs before the coating is applied.
  • Roof type – Metal, EPDM, TPO, PVC, BUR, and modified bitumen roofs may have different preparation requirements.
  • Coating thickness – Higher dry-film thickness increases material usage and affects the overall Silicone roof coating coverage.
  • Product quality – Premium 100% Silicone Roof Coating products generally cost more but deliver superior durability, UV resistance, and waterproofing.
  • Application method – Spray or roller application, project complexity, and roof accessibility all impact labor costs.
  • Warranty period – Longer warranty systems usually require additional coating thickness and stricter installation standards.

Many customers also search for the Silicone roof coating price per square foot when comparing roofing solutions. While pricing is commonly calculated on a square-foot basis, the actual cost should always be based on a professional roof inspection rather than a standard rate. This ensures the correct coating system, application thickness, and warranty requirements are considered.
