Castagra's Ecodur Sustainable Roof Coating Benefits
Introduction
Do you have tenants?
Is your commercial TPO roof leaking despite of a 15-25 year promise?
Do you want a solution that does not interrupt your tenants business or day-to-day activities?
In this blog we explain the disadvantages of a regular TPO roof versus why Castagra’s Ecodur sustainable roof coating is THE better option.
Disadvantages of TPo roofing coating
A regular TPO roof has been the primary solution to commercial roofing since the 90s, not too long ago. This solution is fairly young and the mixture’s consistency is not fully optimized, which keeps manufacturers continually working towards getting the best TPO formula.
Since this material is still subject to short-comings, one flaw is when encountering excessive heat an increased chance can occur of busted seams, leaks, and cracks within the material.
Because of TPO’s fresh entrance into the commercial roofing space, many manufacturers will provide uncorroborated and different information.
One example is that TPO comes in many different sizes in thickness, despite of material being thicker organizations will advertise more durability, whilst there’s no correlation of thickness and durability, as the correlation comes from the material itself.
Another flaw is there is no absolute guarantee of how long a TPO roof will last. Best guesses is around 10-20 years, there’s too many variables to pinpoint.
For example before we’ve installed Castagra’s Ecodur sustainable roof coating, we’ve seen a TPO roof decline to leaks at 7 years, when. initially the promise was closer to 15-25.

Eco-Friendly
Traditional roof coatings generally utilizes a high concentration of VOCs. This does not contribute positively to the already negative reputation contractors have towards the environment.
VOCs are volatile organic compounds, these are usually found in paint, varnishes, aerosol sprays, and many more.
VOCs can impact not only people’s health but the environment in a negative way, there are instances where an excess of VOCs can contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone.
Castagra’s Ecodur roof coating does not have any VOCs within the formula, which protects human’s within the vicinity of the roof coating and also the environment.
Cost-Effective
There are many misconceptions about cost when discussing a VOC-free or eco-friendly roof coating solution. Most of the time people see these “buzz words” and run away because they know there’s a premium attached to it.
Despite of instances where using an eco-friendly roof coating solution being a larger initial investment, that does not calculate the maintenance, full replacement, and shutting down a business/tenants, when using a traditional VOC roof solution.
Not enough do businesses go through the benefits of a quality initial investment that will be used and durable for the long-term.
When installing we do not interrupt any business or any tenants, no business will be shut-down and no tenants will have to be moved while installing Castagra’s Ecodur.
Health
Health is wealth. As we previously stated there is no VOCs within the formula of Castagra’s Ecodur roof coating solution.
VOC’s can develop both short-term and long-term health impacts.
When you use a traditional roof coating solution where there are high levels of VOCs within the material, you risk the crew’s exposure that can lead to irritation to the throat, eyes, nose, and not to mention nausea, difficult of breathing, damage to the central nervous system, along with even cancer.
VOCs are not good for the client, applicator/crew, and the environment!
