Types Of Metal Roof Coatings We Can Apply To Your Steel Building
At White’s Painting & Power Washing, we offer a variety of metal roof coatings designed to protect and extend the life of your metal building. The right coating depends on the type of building, the environmental conditions it faces, and the specific protection you need. Below are the three main types of metal roof coatings we apply and the situations they are best suited for.
1. Asphalt Aluminum Roof Coatings
Best For: Industrial buildings, barns, grain silos, and metal roofs exposed to harsh weather.
Asphalt aluminum roof coatings combine the durability of asphalt with the reflective properties of aluminum flakes. This coating is excellent for protecting metal roofs from rust and corrosion while also reflecting up to 65% of UV rays, helping to reduce interior building temperatures.
It’s a popular choice for agricultural buildings like barns and grain silos in Central Indiana, as well as industrial structures that require added protection from the elements. The rust-inhibiting properties make it ideal for metal roofs that need defense against moisture and oxidation.
2. Elastomeric Roof Coatings
Best For: Commercial buildings, warehouses, and metal roofs with minor leaks or cracks.
Elastomeric roof coatings are highly flexible and are known for their ability to expand and contract with temperature changes, making them ideal for Central Indiana’s fluctuating climate.
These coatings are waterproof and create a seamless barrier, which makes them perfect for roofs that have small leaks or cracks. Elastomeric coatings are commonly used on commercial buildings and warehouses where energy efficiency and waterproofing are important. Their ability to reduce heat absorption also helps lower cooling costs, making them a great choice for businesses.
3. Silicone Roof Coatings
Best For: Flat or low-slope metal roofs, buildings in areas with heavy rainfall.
Silicone roof coatings are highly water-resistant and ideal for metal roofs that experience heavy rain or ponding water. Silicone coatings are excellent for flat or low-slope roofs on industrial or commercial buildings, where water tends to pool.
The coating’s superior waterproofing and UV resistance make it highly durable, and its ability to withstand ponding water without deteriorating makes it the best option for buildings located in regions prone to heavy rainfall or frequent storms.

Our Process For Applying Metal Roof Coatings So They Last
At White’s Painting & Power Washing, we follow a meticulous process to ensure that your metal roof coating provides long-lasting protection and durability. By focusing on thorough preparation, high-quality materials, and precise application, we make sure your roof is shielded from the elements for years to come. Here’s how our proven process works:
1. Comprehensive Roof Inspection
Before we start any work, we conduct a thorough inspection of your metal roof to identify any issues such as heavy rust, pitting, corrosion, leaks, or other damage. This allows us to determine the best type of coating for your roof and address any potential problems that could compromise the coating's effectiveness.
2. Surface Cleaning and Preparation
A clean surface is essential for a roof coating to properly adhere. We begin by power washing the roof to remove dirt, debris, mold, and oxidation buildup. We apply rust-inhibiting primers to areas that need extra attention. This step ensures that the roof is clean, and ready for coating.
3. Fastener Tightening and Repairs
Loose or missing fasteners can cause leaks and weaken the integrity of the roof. As part of our preparation, we tighten all fasteners and replace any missing or damaged ones. We also seal any seams or gaps with high-grade caulk, ensuring a watertight seal that prevents future leaks.
4. Priming for Enhanced Adhesion
For rust-prone areas or metal surfaces that need extra protection, we apply a primer designed to promote adhesion and enhance the durability of the topcoat. Priming also helps prevent future rust and corrosion from developing beneath the surface of the coating.
5. Application of High-Quality Roof Coatings
Once the roof is fully prepped, we apply the chosen roof coating—whether it's asphalt aluminum, elastomeric, or silicone. We use professional-grade equipment to ensure even coverage, applying multiple coats if necessary to achieve maximum protection. Each type of coating is carefully selected based on the specific needs of your building and roof type.
6. Attention to Detail and Final Inspection
We take the time to ensure every detail is perfect, from edge-to-edge coverage to seamless transitions around fixtures and roof penetrations. Once the coating has been applied, we perform a final inspection to confirm the coating has cured properly and meets our high standards for quality and durability.
7. Long-Term Protection and Maintenance Tips
With our expert application, your metal roof will be protected from rust, UV damage, and water infiltration for years to come. After the job is done, we’ll provide tips on how to maintain your roof, including regular inspections and cleaning, to keep the coating performing at its best.

Do You Have Questions About Metal Roof Coatings?
Metal roof coatings protect against rust, UV damage, and water infiltration, extending the life of your roof. They also improve energy efficiency by reflecting sunlight, reducing roof surface temperatures, and lowering cooling costs in the summer.
If your roof is showing signs of rust, leaks, fading, or chalking, it’s a good time to apply a coating. Regular roof inspections can help identify when the current coating has worn down or when additional protection is needed.
We apply asphalt aluminum, elastomeric, and silicone roof coatings. Each offers different benefits based on your building’s needs. Asphalt aluminum is excellent for rust prevention and UV reflectivity, elastomeric is flexible and great for minor leaks, and silicone provides superior waterproofing for flat or low-slope roofs.
The lifespan of a roof coating depends on the type used, the environmental conditions, and how well it’s maintained. On average, most coatings last between 10-15 years. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend their lifespan.
Yes, elastomeric and silicone roof coatings are particularly effective at sealing minor leaks and cracks. They create a seamless, waterproof barrier that helps prevent future leaks. However, larger or structural damage may need to be repaired before applying the coating.
Yes! Reflective coatings, such as asphalt aluminum and elastomeric, reduce the amount of heat absorbed by the roof, helping to keep your building cooler. This can result in lower energy bills, especially during hot Indiana summers.
The time needed to apply a roof coating depends on the size of the roof and its condition. Most metal roof coating projects can be completed in 1-2 days, including surface preparation and coating application.
Yes, but we must first address the rust. We remove surface rust and apply a rust-inhibiting primer before adding the final coating. Severe rust may require additional treatment or repairs before the coating can be applied.
Roof painting typically refers to applying a standard paint layer to improve appearance and provide basic protection. Roof coatings, on the other hand, offer specialized protection against rust, UV rays, water damage, and weathering. Coatings are typically more durable and provide longer-lasting protection than regular paint.
Yes, coatings like asphalt aluminum and elastomeric are suitable for both steep-sloped and low-slope metal roofs. However, silicone coatings are best suited for flat or low-slope roofs where water tends to pool.
After your roof coating is applied, it requires minimal maintenance. Regular roof inspections, keeping gutters clear, and removing any debris will help ensure the coating remains intact and effective. If any areas begin to show wear, spot repairs can extend the life of the coating.
Yes, we offer warranties on all our roof coating services. The length and details of the warranty depend on the type of coating used and the specific conditions of your project. We are committed to providing durable, long-lasting results.
