Question 1

What is polyurea roof coating?

Accepted Answer

Polyurea is a high-performance, spray-applied elastomeric coating applied directly onto a commercial roof surface. It cures within seconds to form a seamless, fully waterproof membrane with no joints or seams. Compatible with EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen, metal, and concrete — no tear-off required in most cases.

Question 2

What is commercial roof restoration?

Accepted Answer

Commercial roof restoration strengthens and protects an existing flat roof without full replacement. Using spray-applied polyurea systems, AZ Coatings seals leaks, reinforces the surface, and extends roof life by 15–25 years at 40–60% of replacement cost.

Question 3

Can polyurea be applied over an existing roof?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Polyurea bonds to most commercial roofing substrates — EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, metal, and concrete — after proper preparation. AZ Coatings provides a free inspection to confirm suitability and identify any moisture intrusion before application.

Question 4

How long does a polyurea roof coating last?

Accepted Answer

A professionally installed polyurea system with UV-protective topcoat typically lasts 15–25 years. AZ Coatings offers 10-year warranties on qualified commercial roof restoration projects.

Question 5

Is polyurea better than silicone or acrylic roof coatings?

Accepted Answer

Yes for most commercial applications. Polyurea is harder, more abrasion-resistant than silicone, and unlike acrylic, is fully waterproof — including under ponding water. It cures in seconds, has tensile strength of 2,000–4,000 psi, and elongates 300–600% to handle building movement.

Question 6

How long does polyurea roof installation take?

Accepted Answer

Polyurea cures within seconds of application. Most commercial projects are completed in 1–2 days with minimal disruption to building operations.

Question 7

What types of buildings does AZ Coatings work on?

Accepted Answer

AZ Coatings works on commercial and industrial properties including warehouses, manufacturing facilities, shopping centers, office buildings, municipal facilities, aircraft hangars, and water/wastewater treatment plants with flat or low-slope roofs.

Question 8
