Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Aluminum roof coatings like 588 are the economical way to add reflectivity and years of service to an aging but structurally sound asphalt roof; repair blisters and seams first so you are coating a sound substrate. Stir thoroughly to distribute the aluminum flakes evenly, and apply on a dry day when temperatures are suitable for water-based products. If the membrane is badly cracked or saturated, a restoration membrane system will outperform a reflective topcoat alone.
For professional use only; follow the product's safety data sheet, apply in appropriate weather, and keep the work area clear of pedestrians while wet coatings cure.
Refresh and protect your asphalt roof with Henry Pro-Grade 588 Aluminum Water Based Roof Coating in a 5-gallon pail.
