RV Roof Coatings

As the roof is exposed to weather elements and extreme temperatures, it is no wonder that you will need to reapply its coating at some point. Typically, it lasts about ten years. Surely, its lifespan depends on a number of factors including the climate you live in, how often you drive your RV, and where do you store it when it is not in use. Coatings are developed to seal a roof from various elements including rain, snow, and dust. Virtually all of them are resistant to mildew.

Some of them, more specifically urethane ones, can also protect the roof from falling objects such as branches and pine cones. The industry also offers a variety of substances that are formulated to reflect the sun’s heat thus helping to keep the interior of an RV cooler. Undeniably, it can make a difference on hot summer days. Those RVers who want something that requires minimal maintenance will be better off with one of the fiberglass coatings from Geocel, Heng’s, or Kool Seal available on our digital shelves. Here you will also find a variety of silicone roof coatings. They provide ultimate protection from weather elements and an appropriate level of impact resistance. These substances are elastic which means they remain intact for many years. Acrylic coatings don’t last as long but are much more affordable and still do a good job.
