Elastomeric Coating Application in Akron
Elastomeric Coating Application in Akron
Elastomeric coating is a thick, flexible, and durable paint-like material designed to seal and protect exterior surfaces, particularly masonry, stucco, and concrete. For properties in Akron, this application is not merely a cosmetic upgrade—it is a functional solution that addresses the region’s freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, and aging building materials. The process begins with a thorough inspection of the surface to identify cracks, spalling, or water damage. Any loose or peeling paint must be scraped away, and cracks are filled with a compatible patching compound. Power washing is then performed to remove dirt, mildew, and efflorescence, ensuring the coating adheres properly. After the surface dries, a primer may be applied to promote bonding, especially on porous or uneven substrates.
The actual elastomeric coating is applied using a heavy-nap roller or sprayer, typically in two coats to achieve the recommended thickness of 15 to 20 mils per coat. This is significantly thicker than standard exterior paint, which is why it can bridge hairline cracks and form a seamless, waterproof membrane. In Akron, where older homes and commercial buildings often have stucco or brick exteriors that have settled or weathered, this coating prevents moisture intrusion that leads to efflorescence, mold, and freeze-thaw damage. The elastomeric material expands and contracts with temperature changes, reducing the likelihood of future cracking. For properties near the Cuyahoga River or in areas with high groundwater, this added flexibility is critical for long-term protection. Once cured, the coating provides a textured, uniform finish that can be tinted to match the building’s aesthetic, but its primary value lies in its ability to extend the life of the underlying structure.
