Liquid-applied roofing coats a roof, but doesn’t rebuild it

Liqua-Roof's roof resurfacing system rebuilds and fortifies a roof’s surface with real roofing granules, going beyond the protection of any waterproof membrane.

Roof Resurfacing vs Liquid-Applied Roofing

Liqua-Roof is not liquid-applied roofing, it is a roof resurfacing system

Instead of forming a basic liquid membrane, Liqua-Roof adds a new, high-build granule layer to restore the protective surface of asphalt shingle roofs and flat roof systems.

Liquid-applied roofing explained

What is liquid-applied roofing (LAR)?

Liquid-applied roofing systems are fluid coatings that cure into a seamless waterproof membrane across the roof surface. They’re commonly used on flat and low-slope roofs to improve waterproofing and extend the life of existing roofing systems.

Typically used on flat and low-slope roofs (EPDM, TPO, PVC, metal, concrete)
Periodic reapplication is required
THE LIQUA-ROOF ADVANTAGE

More than traditional liquid-applied roofing

While liquid-applied systems create a protective coating, Liqua-Roof is a roof resurfacing system that rebuilds the roof’s protective surface with a high-build layer reinforced with real roofing granules.

High-build, monolithic surface (70–80 mils) reinforced with roofing granules
Greater durability and flexibility than traditional liquid-applied membranes
Long-term protection without periodic reapplication

Is Liqua-Roof considered a liquid-applied roofing system?

Not in the traditional sense. Liquid-applied roofing creates a waterproof membrane/film, while Liqua-Roof is a roof resurfacing system that adds a new, high-build granule layer to rebuild the protective surface of shingle and flat roofs. It restores what coatings cannot replace: the granulated layer that protects asphalt.

Can liquid-applied roofing be used on shingle roofs like Liqua-Roof?

Typically not. Liquid-applied systems are generally for flat and low-slope roofs (EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, metal, concrete). They are not designed for shingles and don’t address granule loss. Liqua-Roof, however, is engineered for both asphalt shingles and flat roofs.

Do liquid-applied membranes rebuild the protective granule layer?

No. Liquid-applied roofing forms a coated or painted film and does not restore lost granules. Liqua-Roof goes further by adding a new, high-build granule layer, reinforcing the roof with real roofing granules, the same material shingles are made from.

How does Liqua-Roof Flat compare to traditional liquid-applied roofing in thickness and durability?

Traditional liquid-applied membranes are relatively thin. Liqua-Roof Flat cures into a much thicker (70–80 mils), monolithic, seamless surface reinforced with granules. This results in superior durability, flexibility, and long-term performance, not just waterproofing.

Do liquid-applied roofing systems need reapplication? What about Liqua-Roof?

Yes. Liquid-applied membranes typically require periodic reapplication to maintain performance. Liqua-Roof’s resurfacing system, on the other hand, delivers long-term protection and surface rebuilding in a single application.
