It can be installed over existing roofs, thereby eliminating excess roofing materials from being deposited in a landfill. It is also very durable. The waterproof elastic membranes are highly resistant to wear and decay. The durability of this roofing material increases the life of the roof, while saving money and resources. It is safe and non-toxic. Because of it is highly reflective, it bounces off UV rays which can provide owners a huge amount of energy savings.
- Highly Reflective: UV rays bounce-off reducing heat build-up.
- Energy Efficient: They reduce energy costs by as much as 40%.
- Versatile: “Cool Roofs” are usually installed over existing roofs eliminating costly tear-offs and potentially hazardous materials ending up in landfills.
- Durable: “Cool Roofs” are waterproof elastic membranes, highly resistant to wear and decay, increasing the life of your roof while saving money and resources.

CeramaFlex® is a highly flexible, single component, high build water based material excellent for waterproofing a variety of surfaces. Creating a monolithic membrane, CeramaFlex® will bridge existing cracks and irregularities in a roofing surface. This energy efficient roof coating meets and exceeds all national “cool roof” standards and specifications.
CeramaFlex® is a fluid applied elastomeric roofing material that is ideal for use on flat or low pitch roofs; including BUR, concrete, EPDM, PVC, TPO, cap sheet, modified bitumen, polyurethane foam, metal, and SPF. CeramaFlex® is a cool roof coating system that is designed to reflect the sun’s heat away from the surface of the roof. This helps to reduce temperatures by 50 – 100 degrees. Installing CeramaFlex® helps to reduce the heat transfer that occurs in the building, thereby, lowering energy costs. This is accomplished by lowering the temperature in attics and ducts located throughout the building, which results in a more comfortable interior temperature.
CeramaFlex® is durable proving excellent in resistance to the elements and UV degradation. Its fabric reinforced seams and penetrations extend the life of the roof and has superior mold and mildew resistance. CeramaFlex® is environmentally friendly as it is water based with low VOC. It is lead, asbestos and mercury free. Its elongation and tensile strength eclipse traditional water based systems.
