Henry White Acrylic elastic roofing.
This stuff is simple to use, easy directions, can be rolled on or sprayed on. Bright white reflects uv rays and heat by 72%. In today's world of insane costs, Henry's costs have went up very little, at 85.00 a 5 gal bucket it is a deal! If you are looking to do a roof and need a good product that stands up to its name, Henry brand Acrylic elastic roofing is what you want!

Wow, that is a very strong testimonial for the great attributes of Henry white roof coatings. All three of our acrylic white roof coatings, Henry 287 Solar-Flex, Henry 587 Dura-Brite and Henry 687 Enviro-White, are all great products to reflect the sun's damaging UV rays, cool the roof and the interior of the structure. They are very easy to apply and are professional grade products. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

    Simple roof repair
    We really love this stuff as it is easy to apply on our semi-flat roof and it works into cracks and crevices quickly and easily. It is thick enough to fill gaps. We've tried other brands and find them to be runny and sometimes hard to control

    Needak, thanks for the strong endorsement or our acrylic white coatings. While they are not meant to be leak stoppers they do offer a weather protection and you are right, our white acrylic coatings are thicker and easy to apply. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

    F pratt, unfortunately we are having difficulty determining the nature of your problem with one of our acrylic white roof coatings. We urge you to contact us directly at jszymanski@henry.com so that we can see if the issue was an adhesion problem, reflectivity problem, a ponding water issue, an application issue etc. Please contact us so that we can figure out why the coating did not perform up to your expectations.

    Gordan, even though we are gratified that you are happy with the results you received with one of our Henry acrylic white roof coatings, we do not recommend using them to coat over shingles. Henry acrylic white coatings are formulated to be applied to flat or low slope roofs. Coating over shingles may cause them to curl or crack over time.

    Keep note you will have to buy quite a bit since this lays out very thin and to get good coverage you need to go over it a few passes

    FRNKIE, coverage of Henry acrylic white roof coatings varies with the porosity of the roof surface, how rough it is and how dry it is. When applying acrylic roof coatings you always have to apply two coats. The coverage rate for each coat will be approximately 475 Square Feet per 4.75 gallon bucket for each coat.

    used on my camper roof
    not too sure about this product, it came out of the can very thin. the coating has the consistency of water. i applied the first coat and was very disapointed, it was very thin and hardly coated the roof at all. in the end, i had to apply 6 coates, to get decent coverage. theres got to be a better product out there. i wasnt impressed at all. we will see how long it holds up.

    Newt, we cannot determine what Henry acrylic white coating that you used on your roof from the comments that you gave. None of our acrylic white coatings should be as thin as water. When stirred up the coatings should be pretty thick when applied. We strongly urge you to contact us directly at jszymanski@henry.com or call our Product Support line at 800-523-0268 so that we can determine what the cause of your issue was. Thank you for using Henry products.

      PennyLee, we are glad that you had a pleasant experience with the application of one of our acrylic white coatings. Henry acrylic white coatings offer good weather protection and solar reflectivity but are not waterproof. Acrylic coatings need a slight pitch so that water does not pond on the roof. Any area that has ponding should be coated with Henry 887 TropiCool 100% Silicone roof coating. Henry 887 is waterproof. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

      Nice review, Henry acrylic white coatings are made to reflect the harmful UV rays of the sun so that they don't destroy the roof surface. They reduce the amount of expansion and contraction on a roof to prevent leaks from starting around roof penetrations and save you money on your energy bill by cooling the interior of the building. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

      This coating is great. So far I`ve applied it to our doublewide roof and a shingled 3 car garage roof. Also have painted the exterior of 2 garages with it. Going to paint the outside mobile walls using it. It lowers the outside to inside wall temp by 25 degrees. It did use more on the 1st coat of the shingled roof but 2nd coat was easy. Saved thousands by not tearing off the old shingles and doing a reroof. plus this is keeping the garage much cooler.

      B Dovr, we are glad that you are happy with our product. Sometimes people do apply one of our acrylic white coatings to a shingled roof, however, we never recommend coating shingles and we do not warranty that application. Thank you for putting your trust in Henry products and the Home Depot.

      This product seems to work good. A special roller should be recommended next to the product for better distribution. I used a broom because the paint roller that I used did not transfer the product to my roof correctly.

      Dan, we recommend a 3/4" to a 1" nap roller to apply Henry 887 TropiCool 100% Silicone roof coating. When coating the roof the best way to get uniform coverage is to measure the roof in grids for coverage. Example: if you want coverage of 2-gallons per 100 square feet then the bucket would cover 250 square feet. Measure out a 10' X 25' grid, pour the contents of the bucket in the area like a snake pattern, then roll the product out and the roller will spread the product very nicely. Thank you for putting your trust in the Henry Co and the Home Depot.

      This an excellent product which will extend the life of a common shingle roof. This is best when one cleans the existing shingles and then applies this product as a thick coating. It will extend the life of your shingle roof up to about ten (10) to (15) years depending on the hot dry weather in yuor geographical area. The only thing that onehas to be aware is that this product is expensive and costs about $95.00 for the 4 gallon tub (including tax),. In my humble opinion, my only personal criticizm is that it is a bit pricy. Mr. Eugenio Amaya Jr.

      Geno, we do not recommend the application of any of our acrylic or silicone roof coatings over shingles of any kind. The curing process of any roof coatings is a slight shrinkage of the product as the carrier, (water in this case), evaporates. The stresses of shrinkage could cause curling of the shingles. The only Henry product made exclusively for shingles is Henry 812 RoofSaver. RoofSaver can extend the life of older shingles up to five years.
