What Is Silicone Coating?

Silicone Roof Restoration Explained

Silicone roof coating is a high-solids liquid silicone applied over an existing flat roof to restore waterproofing, reflectivity, and service life — without a full tear-off. It bonds directly to modified bitumen, EPDM, TPO, and BUR substrates, cures into a seamless rubber-like membrane, and handles the one thing most roof systems can’t: ponding water. For Hudson County flat roof owners with sound substrates but aging surfaces, silicone restoration is a high-performance restoration alternative and adds 10-15 years of service life.

Materials We Trust

Why We Install Tri-Built 985 Silicone

Two decades of installations taught us which silicone systems hold up. Tri-Built 985 is the high-solids silicone we install — chosen for its ponding-water resistance, single-coat capability, and proven performance on Northeast flat roofs.

985 Silicone Coating System

High-Solids Silicone Restoration

Premium Silicone Built for Flat Roofs

Tri-Built 985 is a 100% silicone, high-solids restoration coating that doesn’t break down under UV exposure (unlike acrylic or asphalt-emulsion systems). Cures into a seamless waterproof membrane. Reflective Energy Star-rated finish lowers cooling costs in summer.

When to Choose Silicone

Silicone Restoration vs. Full Replacement

Most Hudson County flat roof owners face the same fork in the road around year 12-15: restore or replace? Here’s how we recommend silicone restoration:

Substrate is sound
No active leaks
Roof under 25 years old
No major ponding
Plan for renewable coatings
Energy Star rebate eligible

How It Works

Our Silicone Coating Process

Five steps from first call to final inspection. Silicone restoration is faster than tear-off — most projects complete in a single day per 1,500 sq ft.

Site Assessment

On-site inspection. We evaluate substrate condition, existing leaks, ponding patterns, and seam integrity to confirm silicone is the right call.

Pressure Wash

Full-roof pressure wash to remove dirt, biological growth, and loose granules. Silicone bonds best to a clean substrate.

Repair & Prime

Patch existing punctures, reinforce seams with embedded fabric where needed, and prime substrate per Tri-Built spec.

Apply Silicone

Apply Tri-Built 985 high-solids silicone with rollers and sprayers per manufacturer’s mil-thickness spec. Full cure in 24-48 hours.

Frequently Asked

Silicone Coating FAQ

A properly applied Tri-Built 985 silicone coating lasts 10–15 years on Hudson County flat roofs. Re-coating at year 10-12 extends the system indefinitely without ever needing tear-off — silicone is the only flat roof system that can be perpetually restored without removal.
Yes — silicone bonds excellently to modified bitumen torch-down membranes once the surface is properly cleaned and primed. We pressure-wash the existing roof, repair any punctures or seam failures, then apply Tri-Built 985 directly over the cleaned substrate. This is the most common silicone restoration scenario in Hudson County.
Yes — this is silicone’s signature advantage. Unlike acrylic or asphalt-emulsion coatings (which break down under standing water), 100% silicone systems like Tri-Built 985 are unaffected by ponding. The membrane stays bonded and waterproof even when sections of roof retain water for days.
Yes. The reflective white Tri-Built 985 finish meets Energy Star “cool roof” reflectivity requirements, which lowers building cooling loads in summer and may qualify for utility-company rebates depending on your service area. The reflectivity also slows membrane degradation by reducing surface temperatures.
Field repairs on silicone are simple — clean, prime, and apply more 985 over the damaged area. The new coating bonds chemically to the existing cured silicone, restoring waterproof integrity. Punctures from dropped tools, HVAC service, or storm debris are easily addressed without full re-coating.
