Roof Waterproofing and Roof Coating Systems for UAE Buildings

For Dubai and UAE's extreme conditions (50°C+ roof temperatures, intense UV, and occasional ponding water), a 100% silicone-based roof coating system outperforms all alternatives. Unlike acrylic or polyurethane coatings, silicone is inherently UV-stable and rated for permanent water immersion. It remains flexible across the full temperature range and doesn't chalk, crack, or degrade under constant sun exposure.

With proper specification and application, a silicone roof coating system typically lasts 15-20+ years in UAE climate. Warranty duration depends on dry film thickness (DFT): 20 mils for 10-year warranty, 25-30 mils for 15-year warranty, and 35+ mils for 20-year warranty. The system can also be recoated in the future to extend life indefinitely without tear-off.

Yes. One of the primary advantages of silicone roof coating is the ability to apply directly over existing bitumen, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, and torch-on membranes. No costly and disruptive tear-off is required. We clean the surface, repair defects, apply primer, and coat over the existing substrate. This approach saves 30-50% compared to full replacement.

Silicone is the only roof coating chemistry rated for permanent water immersion. While most coatings (acrylic, polyurethane) degrade quickly under standing water, silicone maintains full performance. For areas with chronic ponding, we apply additional thickness and reinforcement fabric. This makes it ideal for UAE roofs where drainage is often inadequate.

Pricing for roof waterproofing in Dubai typically ranges from AED 30-80 per square meter depending on roof size, condition, access, and warranty requirements. Larger projects (5,000+ sqm) benefit from economies of scale. Use our online calculator for an instant estimate, or contact us for a detailed quote after inspection. Compared to full roof replacement (AED 150-300/sqm), coating restoration offers significant savings.

Yes, significantly. Our white reflective coating achieves a Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of 100+, reflecting up to 85% of solar radiation. This reduces roof surface temperature by 15-25°C compared to dark bitumen roofs. Customers typically report measurable reductions in A/C runtime and energy costs, especially in warehouses, factories, and buildings with limited insulation.

Yes. Silicone roof coating application is non-disruptive. There's no hot work (torching), no odors, and no noise beyond standard equipment. Operations continue normally below. The system cures in hours and is moisture-cured, so work can proceed in humid conditions. This makes it ideal for warehouses, factories, and commercial buildings that cannot shut down for roof replacement.
