Coatings have come a long way. In the past year alone, cost pressures and a desire from facility owners to be more aware of their environmental footprint have pushed more opportunity for roofing coatings.
In RC’s 2022 State of the Industry report, about three-fifths of contractor respondents (56%) said they expected coatings to grow this year. Like last year, it was named the fourth highest product contractors expected to sell this year, just above steep-slope asphalt shingles. About 64% of survey respondents identified as residential roofing contractors, while the remaining are commercial contractors, showing a broad interest in the product.
