Customer Reviews for Henry 555 4.75 Gal. (16 Piece) Aluminum Reflective Asphalt Roof Coating

Used on a residential shingle roof despite the instructions saying not to, it worked out great. Reduced indoor temperatures by 3 to 4 degrees. Don't stretch the 50 sq ft per gallon instructions on shingle though, it takes a lot of paint to soak into the granules of the shingles. Make sure to get your HOA approval in advance though like I did because it is a very non-standard appearance. It will look almost white in daylight.

Great material to use the job came out perfect

The mixing with a paint paddle (provided) was a time consuming task but once mixed the coating went on easily and provided an excellent protective coating for the roof.

Ive had to become a expert on this stuff in the past week since there is really no videos or closeup pictures of this stuff. I have never had a metal roof until now. My roof is solid, but has alot of rust spots. first ill state the obvious of what everyone else said, your going to have to mix the heck out of this crap. with about 1,700 sq ft inside it took 5 of the 5 gallon buckets. i think 6 would of been better. this stuff goes on as a light silver, so light that it almost looks white. a few others have stated that as well. for me that matched my house decent so it wasnt a big deal. just be prepared for that. make sure to get fibered. the non fibered does almost nothing but make your house sellable. this stuff goes on pretty thick and it is a mess. this can easily destroy your gutters. if its on to thick it takes forever to dry. 4 days have past and some spots where it dripped into a glob on the roof are still soft. if you were to step on them it would not look good. give it alot of time to dry. start setting up early and try to stop around 2 or 3. you dont want nighttime moisture ruining everything and causing runs. its best to skip rain days or even slight chance of rain pressure wash your roof! i read alot of people say prep rust spots by sanding. we power washed all the grit off from trees and this also took off the loose old coating from 12 yrs ago the previous owners had and some of the flaking. the previous owners had got water on their application and it dried into what looked like a dry desert and it couldnt be scraped off. when we went over their mistake it still looked a bit shoddy. so if you mess up that messup could be there forever my biggest gripe is the brush strokes. this did not look as smooth as i thought it would. i went around looking at other metal roofs and they all looked smooth. even my old coat looked smooth but i suspect it must of been non fiber. this stuff you will notice the brush strokes from up to at least 5 houses away. if you want to show off your new paint job, people will say why is there so many brush strokes? as much as you try to avoid it there seems to always be thin spots in every few panels. this stuff is really messy and being on peaks and high peaks your going to have a tough time but i dont think there is a better alternative. i only seen one closeup of a roller pic and even that has its disadvantage of less strokes but more of a texture loook. i dont know how you could roll this stuff on being thick and droopy. because of the color being a white silver, the thinner spots stand out as darker. there is also sometimes i can see a spot but i look at it from a different angle and dont see it. it is a bit reflective which is nice but it can drive you batcrazy. ive read it should be mixed every 5 minutes to keep the fibers afloat. i dont know how you could possibly keep mixing this stuff on sloped roofs because the hotter it is the faster it dries.60-70 degrees is what we worked with and if its hotter then that my guess would be it would start drying alot faster which could either be positive or negative depending on the workers. when i look back on the coat it had before i didnt really see any brush strokes. im not sure if thats because it was thin, non fibered, a different brand or what. the thickness in the brush strokes seems like a heavy coverage which is good, but visually it was a bit of a shock ill have to get over. you will def have some dark spots from the paint not going on thick enough and maybe the darker roof underneath or maybe its the darker rust spots i dont know. maybe it was the person applying it. i didnt really have any holes to seal so im not sure about that. i suppose if you pack it into small holes it can possibly seal it.

Works on most metal surfaces

Really easy to work with fast setting

I coated our 400sq ft corrugated aluminum patio cover to cover some leaks and reduce heat. It is thick and brilliant silver almost like mercury. Be sure and have a stiring blade for a drill. When you open the can it looks bronze and watery and the bottom of the can is like a clump of solid mud. Stir well it will turn brilliant silver almost white. And keep stiring during application or the solids will settle. Mission accomplished no more leaks and much cooler to be under.

Great product. Immediately reduced the heat in my 1969 mobile home.

IT'S GREAT I LOVE IT .IN 12 HOURS EVERTHING IS DONE

Two of us spread product with 1 & 1/2 inch nap paint rollers on a 5000 sq foot 15 year old flat roof. . We pressured was roof lightly 2 days before and made sure roof was dry before spreading Henry Fibered Aluminum Roof Coating. Laid it on as thick as possible through-out roof but mostly on all seams. It took us a total of 8 hours to mix and spread a total of 64.125 gallons of Henry's Aluminum roof coating- 13.5 buckets.

We have used this product before that is why reordered again

Seams to be a good product. Easy to use

There are a lot of care directions that are difficult to read do to being so small. I’ve used the product frequently and have always been happy with the results

I am completely satisfied with the product. It sealed whatever leak I had on my corrugated tin roof.

Inexpensive, when mixed well applies easily with a disposable brush, along with fingered mesh provides a durable patch.

can was damaged. leaked some paint onto my deck

If you're working on a flat roof with torch-down material, this works very well to reflect sunshine and add years of life to the roofing material. Well worth the investment.

2 of 3 buckets were not fresh

Is a good product for emergency work
