White Elastomeric Roof coatings

Understanding the Technology That Drives Innovation

Most people have heard the terms acrylic, polymer, elastomeric and reflective. Some terms may seem obvious while others may or may not be understood at all. All polymers are not acrylic, and all acrylics are not appropriate for all applications. In terms of polymers for elastomeric reflective roof coatings, this article will focus only on acrylic polymer technologies.

Acrylic polymers can be designed to be tough and hard, flexible and soft, or at various compositions in-between. Perhaps one the hardest acrylic polymer-based products would be Plexiglas™, an extremely durable polymer composition. Though most forms of Plexiglas are clear, most acrylics are mixed with other materials to create products in thousands of colors for plastics, paints, adhesives, caulks, and other functional coatings.  Read more...

Roof Coatings Save More Than Energy

White Elastomeric Coatings Can Restore, Protect and Beautify Low-Slope Roofs

It’s no surprise that reflective roof coatings remain the fastest-growing product segment in the fluid-applied roofing market. Cool roof coatings can lower energy consumption — a key goal of state and federal regulators — as well as meet more stringent cool roof performance requirements in the building codes.
While it’s true that the high solar reflectivity and emittance of white elastomeric coatings can cut down on air conditioning costs, these products do a lot more than just save energy.
White elastomeric coatings can restore, protect and beautify most waterproofing systems and prolong the life of almost any low-slope roof, including metal.
Even contractors who have shied away from selling restorative roof coatings are seeing the opportunities. Some have even begun installing these products themselves rather than subbing them out to coatings specialists.

Business integrity leads to success, recognition

“There may be some contractors who consider
cutting corners for more profit,” Stan
continues. “I just can’t.” At times, he has
butted heads with clients who demand the
cheapest solution. “One of my customers has
always focused on price while I’m all about
quality,” says Stan. “But after seeing how
well his roof has held up over the years,
he’s coming around to my point of view.”

Conklin Building Products are an industry leader because they combine value with consistent performance. From our quality roofing systems to interior paints, our reputation is backed by lab-tested durability and customer-tested reliability.

We were the first manufacturer of acrylic roof coatings, which protect investments from the weather and provides energy efficiency.

From metal roofs to flat roofs to aged, multi-layered roofs, Conklin offers a proven system for guarding your underlying investment. Whether you need superior performance, a high quality selection or a solid choice that provides maximum value.

Conklin® roofs conserve energy

Durable, “green” roofing systems that pay for themselves 

Imagine roofing your building with a quality system that pays for itself in just a few years while protecting it for decades! Then imagine having the federal government fund part of the cost, as well. It’s all possible with a Conklin roof.

Conklin’s white roofs reflect the sun’s hot UV rays rather than absorbing them the way black roofs do. This keeps buildings cooler, reducing cooling costs, and putting more money back in the pockets of building owners like you. In fact, since we introduced our white acrylic roofs over 30 years ago, many of our customers have enjoyed a complete return on investment in just 7 years.*

You could also qualify for significant federal tax credits or rebates simply by choosing "green" building material like our white roofing and foam systems.** They meet ENERGY STAR requirements. And several can be applied over existing roofing systems – saving you the cost of tear-off*** and keeping all that roofing material out of the landfill.

Finally, Conklin roofs are renowned for their longevity. Many of the initial roofs we applied in the 1970s are still on the job today.
