Even during Covid-19 Quarantine, A best RV roof coating should be the utmost priority …!!

There are a number of roof coating products available on the market claiming to be the best one, but not all products are created equally. Protecting the RV especially the roof should be the utmost priority as it is mostly overlooked part of your vehicle. One aspect of protecting your roof is by applying a protective roof coating. Most roof coatings currently are made up of synthetic rubber compound and offer numerous benefits. Roof coatings are applied to flat or low sloped RV roofs without the hassle of tapping seams or trying to cover up gaps like you might encounter using a sheeting roofing product for your RV.


“While corona virus spread is on the rise. It should be taken seriously. Follow the recommendations of CDC and WHO for safe travelling. Avoid travelling to those areas which are still virus hotspots. Stay put Stay safe.”
Protection is a Must

A roof coating should provide the RV roof with basic protection like water against water leaks, ponding and harmful UV-rays and should last for three to five years. Perhaps the most valuable feature of an RV roof coating is to bear the temperature fluctuations without cracking or becoming brittle. If your RV roof coating lacks this feature it will break and crack easily causing you to perform repairs much sooner than expected.

Brand Reputation and Quality

As said before not all roof coatings are created equal which means you have to reach out and search for the best one by doing a little bit of research and following the positive recommendations. A good quality roof coating is one which provides maximum benefit at reasonable price and also offers warranty to give you piece of mind. You may also stick to a particular brand because of its brand visibility but remember not all good products are household names.


Application Method

Make sure the coating you choose should be a DIY product and something that can be easily applied and handled without taking much time and energy. Most roof coatings are DIY products but that is not always the case. Plus you may want a roof coating which can be rolled on or sprayed-on which can come down to personal preference and availability of the tools.

Use the above tips to find the best roof coating which suits your specific needs and be hassle free.
