Frs, it is unfortunate that you had a less than satisfactory experience with Henry 287 Solar-Flex White roof coating. You did not specify what the issue was with the product and why you were unhappy with it's performance. Henry 287 is a water based white acrylic roof coating that must have temperatures above 50 degrees, (day and night), for 24 to 48 hours to cure properly. Please contact us directly at jszymanski@henry.com so that we may address your issue in more detail. Thank you for your comments.

BernieR, Henry 287 Solar-Flex really is easy to apply. While it can be brushed on it is suggested that it be applied with a deep-pile roller. If this is a first time application two coats must be applied. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

This roof coating works great.Nice & thick,I rolled it on.Don't bother with a tray,dipped right out of the bucket.Make sure you roll any slop before it gets hard.Hint: If you live in Arizona along the Colorado river,July & August are not the months to do your roof.

Henry 287 Solar-Flex is a good white acrylic roof coating that is economically priced. Since Henry 287 is water based it is a good idea to apply in the cooler part of the day if you live in a very hot and dry climate. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

Dale, Henry 287 is our low cost economy grade acrylic white roof coating. Henry 287 reflects more than 85% of damaging UV rays from the sun and resists chalking, mildew and discoloration when properly applied. For first time applications, two coats are always required to achieve the recommended mil thickness. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

Not all leaks are gone after 2 coats so we still need to work on the roof!

Carren, acrylic roof coatings such as Henry 287 Solar-Flex are not designed to stop leaks. White acrylic coatings are designed to reflect the sunlight and protect the roof from the destructive rays of the sun and to cool the roof so the interior of the structure is cooler. All leaks should be addressed with a leak patching material prior to coating the roof. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

JOSE, you are absolutely right, the difference in temperature is so amazing. Our Henry white acrylic coatings will all reflect 86% to 88% of the sun's rays resulting in a cooler roof and a roof that is protected from the sun's damaging UV rays. By coating your roof you will extend it's service life for many years to come. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

Excellent product at a reasonable price. Easy application, plus the (dried) residual coating peels cleanly from the 5 gallon bucket. I'm always in need of another bucket. Thank you.

JoeD, we are happy that you were so satisfied with one of our acrylic white coatings. Roof coatings differ from paints though, in that they are applied to a recommended mil thickness in order to repel and prevent the penetration of UV rays. A 700 square foot area that is being coated for the first time would require 2.8 or (3) buckets of acrylic white coating. The coverage rate of each bucket is 500 square feet and two coats are required in order to seal pin holes. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

    I'm not Gavin! Fix your app!!!! I keep getting receipts in my son's name, which may be a problem with the IRS if they ever audit me. And it makes it hard if I need to return an item. I've alerted this issue over 20 times in store, with management, online, in your chats, and by phone and you never fix it! Fix it!

    Not sure what I was expecting. But seems much thicker than it looks when applied. Applying a primer coat beforehand is advisable. I managed to get two coats on a 12x60 mobile home with one five-gallon bucket.

    We cannot determine from you comments which of our acrylic white coatings that you used to coat your roof with. All of our Henry white coatings, Henry 287 Solar-Flex, 587 Dura-Brite and 687 Enviro-White have the same coverage rate which is 500 square feet per 4.75 gallon bucket. No primer is recommended to be used with our acrylic coatings. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

    NACHO, we are sorry that you were not happy with one of our acrylic white coatings. Henry acrylic white coatings are not waterproof and should not be applied to stop leaks. Henry acrylic white coatings are designed to do two things on your roof; reflect the harmful UV rays of the sun so they don' damage the roofing material and to lower the temperature on the roof and the interior of the dwelling. If you have a leaking roof you always need to address the leaks prior to the application of a roof coating. Thank you for your comments.

      Henry white acrylic reflective elastomeric roof coatings are water based and as such need to be stored with the lid on tight, if the entire bucket has not been used initially. It should be stored in the same manner as paint. The curing process is evaporation so air must be kept from the product to keep it from drying out. Thank you for your comments and for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.
