Q:I have a flat asphalt roof, can I use it directly on the asphalt? some asphalt look like sand, should I remove them first?
by|Nov 22, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Young, by asphalt do you mean a flood coat of a tar like product or do you mean asphalt roll roofing? The part that looks like sand, is it the granules that have come loose? Unfortunately I am unable to give you the answers you need without some additional details. You can reach out to me directly at jszymanski@henry.com if you would like to discuss this in more detail.

    A:  Duffy, your roof should be lightly pressure washed or with a hose that has a strong spray nozzle prior to the application of any coating. In order to get a good bond the roof must be clean and dry.

      Q:How does it take to dry for the next coat

      Answer This Question

      A:  Mario, usually you can apply the second coat after the first coat feels dry to the touch. The drying times are affected by humidity and temperature. Low humidity and high temperature will significantly speed up the curing process.

        Q:Is this good for a metal roof on a house
        by|Nov 9, 2023
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  James, you can use Henry 287 Solar-Flex Acrylic Reflective Roof coating over an aged metal roof. Before coating the roof use a pressure washer or high pressure nozzle and water hose with a non-filming detergent such as TSP or TSP substitute. Once the roof is clean and dry apply Henry 287. For a first time application you will need to apply two coats.

          Not worth my time or money
          After a couple of weeks, the paint eroded off in San Francisco rains. Save yourself the hassle of recleaning, and use silicone sealer paint.

            Mary-Please keep in mind this coating is NOT intended to stop leaks. The white acrylic roof coatings are for reflectivity purposes only. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Company and The Home Depot.

            Works as Advertised!
            I have central air in my mobile home, but the air conditioner couldn't cool the inside to a temperature that was cooler than the outdoor temperature without running continuously. I applied Henry's 287 to the roof of my mobile home today and for the first time this summer, the inside of my mobile home is cooler than the outside temperature! My air conditioner is running much less and the mobile home stays cool. Only time will tell if the product will last the advertised 7 years, but at this point, i have no reason to doubt that claim. Had I known this product worked, I probably would've used Henry's 887, which has a lifetime warranty.

              Waste of money
              24 hrs after application, not expecting rain, but it did rain and most of the product just ran off the roof, down the gutter and all over my driveway. White paint everywhere. It was dry to the touch last night and back to liquid state again today. It was applied to clean almost flat asphalt roll roofing, as per directions Not impressed and not sure what to do now.

              Looks nice, should save on utility bill
              After just a little practice, it applies easily and looks very nice on our double wide mobile home. Well worth the work
