Frequently asked question
The company offers Henry 887 silicone coatings, 887G gray silicone, Tropi-Cool reflective coatings, and 558 aluminum reflective coating in 0.9-gal and 4.75-gal buckets. Silicone coatings form a durable, waterproof membrane, while aluminum coatings provide heat reflection at a lower cost. Each option is designed for different roofing systems and climates. Contractors can select coatings that meet both performance and budget requirements.
How do reflective coatings benefit Los Angeles buildings?
Reflective coatings reduce roof temperatures, lower air-conditioning loads, and extend roof life—important in the hot Southern California climate. The Henry 887 series meets California Energy Commission “cool roof” standards, helping projects comply with Title 24. They also reduce thermal expansion stress on roofing materials. Property owners benefit from energy savings and longer roof service life.
What surfaces can be coated?
Silicone coatings adhere to asphalt, modified bitumen, metal, and single-ply membranes after proper cleaning. Aluminum coatings work on built-up roofs and metal roofs. Always repair leaks and embed fabric at seams before coating. Proper preparation ensures adhesion and prevents early failure. Supply Ontime staff can provide application tips to match each product.
Are there discounts or delivery options for coating pails?
Supply Ontime provides volume discounts (“Buy More, Pay Less”) on select coatings and offers same-day delivery to Los Angeles job sites. Specify forklift access if ordering multiple 4.75-gal buckets. Deliveries can be handled by truck bed, curbside, or white-gloves service. Large orders can be coordinated with other roofing materials to save freight costs.
