S20 Silicone System

GacoFlex S20 Series

Solvent-Free Silicone Roof Coating System

Before you tear-off and replace a flat or low slope roof, call Gaco. The GacoFlex Solvent-Free Silicone Roofing System offers decades of proven performance and protection for renewing weathered or leaking roofs — large or small, flat or sloped.

Why Gaco Silicone Roof Coating Systems?

A worn-out or leaking roof doesn’t always have to be ripped off and replaced. Whether you’re a roofing contractor or building owner, there’s another solution to consider: silicone roof coatings. Silicone roof coatings were first used in the 1960s and have since greatly advanced to become an excellent roofing material and economical alternative to re-roofing. Silicone coatings are fast and easy to apply and deliver decades of protection. The GacoFlex Solvent-Free Silicone Roof Coating System can be applied to almost any existing roofing surface — large or small, flat or sloped — to shield it from damaging ultraviolet light, permanent ponding water, and severe weather.

For new construction applications, or where a complete tear off is required, Gaco can offer a full roofing system. Starting from the deck with our polyisocyanurate spray foam insulation and capped with our S20 coating (similar to S42) providing a monolithic insulation and waterproofing system.

GacoFlex S20 Benefits

GacoFlex S20 is a leading silicone roof coating. Put the whole S20 Series Silicone Roof Coating System to work for you, not just the coating, to enjoy exceptional coverage and results for years to come.

Building and business owners can expect benefits from using silicone, but also in working with Gaco.

Seamless Process: Gaco is easy to work with and can take care of your business every step of the way. We make our products, install them, and warranty them. We’re a top-to-bottom partner that saves you from having to coordinate with contractors, suppliers, payments, and so on.
Speedy Installation: Gaco silicone roof coating systems come with everything your contractor needs to work quickly and efficiently. You can count on a fast installation and quick resolution to your weathered roof problems.
Durability: Permanence is a key advantage of using silicone. Silicone doesn’t degrade, chalk, or crack under brutal ultraviolet rays.
Moisture Resistance: Silicone forms a smooth, seamless membrane that can withstand permanent ponding water without softening. As a material, it resists mold, mildew, and staining. Your GacoFlex S20 Series roof coating can be rained on within 2 hours of installation!
Potential Energy Savings: A white silicone roof is a reflective roof, meaning it reflects 88% of UV rays (compared to 17% for a non-reflective roof), according to the EPA. Reflectivity translates to cost savings. According to the EPA, you can expect net annual savings of about 50 cents per square foot of reflective roof. GacoFlex maintains significantly higher whiteness and solar reflectivity over time when compared to other silicones.
Best Warranty in the Business: We stand behind our products and offer Qualified Applicators a full-system labor and material warranty on GacoFlex S20 Series and S2100 Series Silicone Roof Coating Systems when applied according to Gaco specifications.
