Our Specialized Services

We focus on assessing rooftop conditions carefully, tailoring traffic coating solutions to each building’s needs, and following precise steps during installation. This ensures rooftop walkways stay safe and durable under heavy use.

Materials and Technologies Used in Traffic Coatings

We use materials and technologies designed for durability, safety, and water resistance. Our choices focus on withstanding heavy foot traffic while keeping rooftop walkways safe and protected.

Advanced Coating Materials

Our traffic coatings rely on high-performance materials like polyurethane and epoxy. These substances form a tough, flexible layer that resists cracking and wear from constant use.

We select coatings with UV resistance to prevent fading and breakdown from sun exposure. These materials also offer chemical resistance to handle spills or exposure to cleaning agents. Using modern resins and additives enhances the coating’s adhesion to flat roofs. This ensures a longer lifespan and reduces the need for repairs.

Anti-Slip Finishes for Walkways

Safety on rooftop walkways is crucial. We incorporate anti-slip additives such as silica sand or ceramic beads into our coatings. These create texture that helps prevent slips and falls.

The level of slip resistance can be customized depending on the expected traffic and weather conditions. We balance safety with ease of cleaning, avoiding overly rough surfaces. Our anti-slip finishes meet industry standards for traction, ensuring safe access for workers and visitors.

Waterproofing Integration

Protecting the roof from water damage is part of our traffic coating system. We combine the coating with waterproof membranes or sealants to block moisture. Our coatings are designed to work with underlying waterproof layers without trapping water. This prevents leaks and maintains roof integrity.

We pay close attention to application methods, ensuring seamless coverage around drains and joints where water can pool. This integration extends the life of the roof and walkway.
