Acrylic Coating Over Tile
Aged or failing tile roofs absorb moisture, adding weight to the structure. Roof & Tile Primer penetrates and strengthens the surface. Roof & Tile Sealer protects and restores it in clear plus 30+ colors.

Preparation guidance for your installer
Common roof concerns
- Cracked or displaced units
- Porous, chalking surfaces
- Mildew and water absorption
Field preparation
- Replace broken tile and correct flashing defects
- Clean biological growth and loose material
- Prime porous surfaces before the sealer
Release checkpoints
- No loose units remain
- Primer has penetrated evenly
- Color and sheen are approved on a test area

Answers before the roof brief.
Use these answers for planning, then follow the current written specification for the project.
Can an existing Tile roof be coated?+
A Tile roof may qualify when the assembly is identified, sound, dry, repairable, properly prepared, and proven compatible through project-specific testing. Wet or unsound areas must be addressed before coating.
What preparation does Acrylic Coating Over Tile require?+
Preparation depends on the exact substrate and condition. Inspection, moisture review, cleaning, drying, repairs, detail work, and representative adhesion testing come before the final primer and coating sequence.
How is the material quantity calculated?+
The estimator uses measured roof area, detail length, system family, planning term, and a waste or texture allowance. Actual ordering must follow current coverage rates, specified film build, surface profile, and field verification.
Which technical documents belong in the project file?+
Start with the system specification, then include the current product data, safety data, applicable detail drawings, approvals, warranty requirements, and any written project-specific instructions.
When should the technical team review the roof?+
Request a review whenever the substrate is uncertain, moisture or drainage is a concern, adhesion results vary, prior coatings are present, warranty coverage is planned, or field conditions differ from the published system.
