Karnak Coatings

Sustainability. It’s a term that we hear a lot, but Karnak has lead this movement since the 1950’s, and our products have restored roofs throughout the United States since 1933.   But what exactly is sustainability, how do Reflective Roof Coatings affect it and how can Karnak help you make the best choices for your buildings? Sustainable development is defined as that which “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” A sustainable roof is defined as “a roof system that is designed, constructed, maintained, rehabilitated, a with an emphasis throughout its life-cycle on using natural resources efficiently and preserving the global environment”. The sustainable benefits that Reflective Coatings and Reflective Coating Systems can create a sustainable and energy efficient solution without the need for costly tear off, and can be sustained indefinitely if properly maintained and coated at then end of each warranty period..

Roofing systems often can be brought back to serviceable condition with proper repairs, done with quality products.  We have guided many building owners in restoring roofs to last for 10 -20 more years for a fraction of the cost of a new roof.  Often roofs are replaced that are still in good condition, and have been replaced out of frustration, due to repairs that were done by highly unqualified contractors with low quality products that crack within a year, and trap moisture.    Proper repair techniques with the right products are the difference between a water-tight roof, and a recurring leaks causing interior damage to the building.
