ALUMINUM COATINGS

Lucas #3000 being applied to an aged, previously coated APP modified bitumen roof with moderate ponding water.

      Lucas Aluminum Roof Coatings are the most effective reflective surfacings for asphalt B.U.R. and both SBS and APP modified bitumen roofs. Aluminum roof coatings consist of bright reflective aluminum flakes in a bituminous vehicle with various modifiers. They are 100% compatible with bituminous roofs, inexpensive, renewable and have higher reflectivity and better U.V. screening capabilities than ceramic granules.  Lucas Aluminum coatings extend roof life, lower energy usage in both hot and cool climates and improve the environment by combating the Urban Heat Island Effect. Lucas Aluminum Coatings allow bituminous roofs to meet the stringent reflectivity requirements of the Chicago Energy Code.

Completed project, Lucas #3000.

Lucas #3000 Thermo-Metallic Roof Coating 

Lucas #3000 is an entirely different class of aluminum coating.  Unlike traditional aluminum coatings, Lucas #3000 is manufactured from a pure polymer base (Styrene Ethylene/Butylene Styrene).  Lucas #3000 is intended for application to metal, asphalt and modified bitumen roofs.  Because it's made with a clear polymer/resin base rather than black asphalt, Lucas #3000 retains nearly all of its initial brightness throughout its service life.
