Elastomeric coating is typically used for protecting masonry walls from the outside elements. It generally requires fewer layers for obtaining the desired results, therefore it is very practical and should be installed by Broomfield roofing companies for best results.

In the case the product’s specifications are followed, you can obtain very good results and can ensure the waterproofing properties of your exterior walls. This type of product can offer protection against the destructive action of the rain driven by strong winds.

In case your exterior walls are built from stucco, elastomeric coating can help bridge these hairline cracks. The reason why this type of coating is so strong is the fact that it is a lot thicker than paint. But in spite of its thickness, elastomeric coating can be very flexible and can be successfully used for roofs also. It can be made in several different colors.

Despite the fact that it is a good material, elastomeric coating is not always necessary. For instance, if your walls are in a good shape and the coating is in proper state, then you may not have to use it. At the same time, if your stucco walls are coated with several layers of paint, it may not be a good idea to apply elastomeric coating over them.
