Metal roofs are all the rage right now. But that’s not the only reason why you should consider one for your home. They’re also durable, long-lasting, and visually appealing.

They’ll boost your home’s aesthetic appeal considerably, whether you’re looking to eventually sell or be the newest envy of your neighbors.

But what about painting a metal roof? You’re probably wondering how you can and the best way to go about it. Luckily, you’ve found our write up about how to paint a metal roof.

Here's a step-by-step guide whether you’re looking to paint corrugated metal, standing seam, or a rusty metal roof.

Yes! You can paint metal roofs, but if you have a new and unpainted one, we suggest allowing it to weather for at least six months before you begin painting it. However, if the project can’t wait, make sure you wash oils and other remains of the galvanizing process off with vinegar.

When you are ready to paint it, make sure you prepare its surface correctly by choosing the right primers, Hydrocoat paint (spray or other), Hydrocoat comes with sealants, that will block all leakages with the granules it embodies, as well as waterproofing the entire span of the roof with an acrylic membrane.

When done right, it will help extend its lifespan, waterproof and make your house more energy-efficient. These can be efficiently carried out by professional roofing companies.

BENEFITS OF HYDROCOAT PAINTING A ROOF
We probably don’t have to tell you this, HYDROCOAT roof painting provides plenty of benefits for your home’s exterior. They include:

Longer lifespan – Metal roofs already tend to have a longer lifespan in general than other types of roofs. And the good news is that Hydrocoat painting them can be an added bonus by increasing their lifespan even further and waterproofing leaking roofs at the same time making them look so beautiful.

Whether it’s an old roof or a new one, Hydrocoat paint for a metal roof can increase its life and also reduce the average cost of energy by insulating effects of the Hydrocoat.

Sustainability – Metal roofs are ideal for sustainability and energy efficiency. Lightly colored and reflective metal ones can reduce the heat island effect (the heat that radiates back into the atmosphere, which causes urban areas to be hotter than they should be). High-quality metal roofing can last twice as long as other materials.
Hydrocoat cools the space within the covered roof, because of it's UV repellant attributes, this minimizing heat radiated to the inner space.

Enhanced aesthetics – There are tons of paint colors for you to choose from, from silver paint to green paint, so you can match your roof to just about any home exterior. No matter which color you choose, though, it’ll surely look beautiful for years to come! Hydrocoat provides a range of roof colours to meet your desired outlook.

Those are just a few of the benefits. Get in touch with our team to learn more!
