Why Tear-Off When You Can Restore?

SmartCoat Seamless. Sustainable. Smart

Liquid-applied roof restoration is the fastest-growing segment in low-slope roofing. Why? Because it delivers unmatched benefits in cost savings, sustainability, and durability.

Financial Savings

Restoring a roof instead of tearing it off can cut costs by up to 40%.
Roof coatings are classified as maintenance, offering tax advantages compared to capital expenditures for full replacements.
A bright-white, reflective coating helps reduce energy costs by minimizing heat absorption.

Environmentally Friendly

Roof restoration generates less waste than full tear-offs, reducing landfill impact.
SmartCoat™ coatings are highly reflective, lowering energy demand and decreasing carbon footprints.
With a seamless, liquid-applied system, SmartCoat™ extends the roof life for years, ensuring sustainability without compromising performance.

Meet SmartCoat: CertainTeed’s Comprehensive Line of Low-Slope Roof Restoration

SmartCoat roof coatings restore instead of replacing, saving money, time, and environmental impact. Designed to work over nearly any existing substrate, the system eliminates unnecessary tear-offs and factory-made replacements.

Most Commonly Treated Surface Types

Roof coatings can be applied to most membrane or metal roofing systems, whether new or existing. The suitability for restoration depends on the roof’s condition. Some surfaces require additional preparation to ensure optimal adhesion.Common candidates include:

EPDM
TPO
Modified Bitumen

Clean

We start every restoration with a deep clean using SmartCoat 100 Roof Wash:

A powerful industrial cleaner that removes dirt, grease, and debris from all roofing surfaces.
A safer, sustainable alternative to toxic cleaners, bleach, and solvents.
Non-toxic, non-abrasive, non-corrosive, and safe for all washable surfaces.

Prime / Prepare (As needed)

Some roofs require priming to ensure a strong, lasting bond. We conduct an adhesion analysis before applying coatings.

Smartcoat 210 Universal Primer: Enhances adhesion to most roofing materials.
Smartcoat 200 Asphalt Bleed Blocker: Prevents oil exudate or “bleed-through” on asphalt roofs.
Smartcoat 220 Asphalt Emulsion: Rejuvenates aged, brittle asphaltic surfaces before coating.
