Fabric reinforced roofing features four layers: an acrylic base coat topped by polyester fabric, on top of which is another layer of acrylic. Finally, a white top coating reflects the sun and protects against the elements. This type of roofing offers numerous advantages. Below are some of the most important.

What Are the Benefits of Fabric Reinforced Roofing?

1. Exceptional Moisture Protection

The acrylic and polyester layers make this type of roofing an extremely effective water barrier. Even if water should puddle or if damp leaves and debris should hold moisture against the surface, it cannot penetrate four separate layers. Moreover, application is seamless so there are no spaces through which moisture can infiltrate. You can rest assured that your building is protected even during heavy downpours.

2. Long Life Span & Durability

Fabric reinforced roofing lasts for decades. The acrylic resin is naturally long-lasting, and the fabric layer gives it flexibility to survive temperature expansions and contractions. When it does eventually wear out, all that's needed is to install a new top coat to reseal it instead of having to tear off the roofing materials and start over, as with other types.

3. Energy Efficiency

This type of roof helps you reduce energy usage, save money on utility bills, and reduce your building's carbon footprint. The multiple layers help insulate the roof against heat loss during winter. The shiny white top coat reflects the sun's rays to make it easier to keep the building cool in summer. Moreover, its reflectivity makes it particularly resistant to deterioration from the sun's ultraviolet radiation, helping the roof last longer and require fewer repairs.
