The Challenge with Hospital Roof Repairs

Repairing roofs in healthcare settings comes with some unique challenges. The main concern is patient safety – if there’s a leak in the roof, it can’t be ignored! It needs to be solved, fast.

Traditional roof replacement and invasive restoration works can significantly impact both capacity and care as hospitals look to relocate patients and medical equipment until construction is complete.
 

A Cost-Effective, Long-Term Solution for Hospital Roofs

There is a long-term alternative to replacement that can minimize the impact on healthcare operations – roof restoration using a silicone roof coating system. By choosing to restore rather than replace, hospitals may be able to fix leaks fast while extending the working life of the roof by decades.  

This process can be significantly cheaper, quicker and less disruptive than replacement works – and if hospitals choose the right silicone coatings, they may be able to avoid relocating patients and shutting down wards.

Why Chemistry Matters!

When choosing silicone roof coatings for healthcare facilities, the chemistry you choose matters.  

One type of curing technology used in silicone roof coatings is Alkoxy-based silicone.  

Choosing alkoxy-based silicone products, such as Enduris roof coatings, can provide many benefits:

Adhesion – Alkoxy chemistry enables Enduris roof coatings to be applied to a wide variety of common healthcare facility roofs without a primer.  
‍

Opting for a single-coat, primerless silicone roof coating can significantly reduce application and labor costs, and shorten project timelines.

‍

‍Re-coating – Alkoxy chemistry means that Enduris roof coatings can be used to re-coat, touch up, and restore healthcare facility roofs that already have a silicone coating applied.  

Performance – Alkoxy-based silicone roof coatings offer strong resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations. Their ability to maintain elasticity and adhesion over time contributes to sustained waterproofing performance. These coatings also tend to provide greater elongation compared to some other chemistries, which can be beneficial in applications requiring flexibility.  

The Benefits of Enduris Roof Coatings For Healthcare Settings

Enduris roof coating has been used to successfully restore roofs on healthcare buildings for decades. These coatings can be applied in a wide range of temperatures, from below freezing (0°F/-17°C) up to 150°F (49°C), with service temperatures ranging from -40°F to 300°F (-40–149°C).

‍

Their year-round application ability helps keep projects moving regardless of seasonal challenges.
