Exterior Coatings

Exterior coatings serve as a vital shield, waterproofing surfaces and safeguarding them from harsh weather conditions. When these coatings fail, not only do they lose their visual appeal, but they also leave the substrate vulnerable to damaging erosion and corrosion. Additionally, exterior surfaces can fall prey to mold and mildew, which can deteriorate the coatings. Regular monitoring is essential to maintain the integrity and longevity of your exterior surfaces.

Sherwin-Williams exterior protective coatings are designed to withstand UV rays and extreme weather conditions. Choose from our specialized options that offer superior resistance to mold, mildew, and fungus, ensuring your surfaces stay pristine year-round.

Roofing

Sherwin-Williams UNIFLEX® fluid-applied roof coatings offer a practical way to restore and extend the life of existing roof systems. For areans and stadiums looking to rebrand or modernize, these coatings can help create a clean visual reset without the disruption and cost of a full roof replacement.

Instead of removing old materials, the system is applied directly over the existing roof, reducing waste and minimizing downtime. Options range from localized repairs to full-system applications, depending on the condition and needs of the structure.

Our fluid applied roofing systems are designed to:

• Improve energy efficiency by reflecting solar heat and UV radiation.
• Meet key industry standards, including ENERGY STAR®, Cool Roof Rating Council, UL Class A, and Title 24.
