Elastomeric Coating Application in Newark
Elastomeric coating application is a specialized process designed to protect and extend the life of exterior surfaces, particularly in climates like Newark’s where freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and sun exposure take a toll. Unlike standard paint, elastomeric coatings are thick, flexible, and form a waterproof membrane that can bridge small cracks in stucco, concrete, brick, or EIFS. For Newark properties—from older row homes in the Ironbound to modern commercial buildings near Broad Street—this means preventing moisture intrusion that leads to rot, mold, and structural damage. The application begins with thorough surface preparation: pressure washing to remove dirt and loose material, repairing existing cracks with a compatible filler, and priming if needed. The coating is then applied in one or two coats using a roller, brush, or sprayer, depending on the texture and size of the area. Because elastomeric coatings are thicker than conventional paint, they require careful attention to drying times between coats—typically 24 hours in moderate weather. The result is a seamless, rubber-like barrier that can expand and contract with temperature changes, reducing the risk of future cracking. For Newark buildings exposed to salt from winter road treatments or pollution from nearby highways, this coating also provides a cleanable surface that resists staining and fading.
The process demands experience because applying elastomeric coatings incorrectly—such as over a damp surface or with insufficient thickness—can trap moisture and cause blistering or peeling. Newark’s older housing stock, particularly in areas like the North Ward and Central Ward, often has underlying issues like efflorescence or spalling that must be addressed before coating. A professional application includes inspecting for hidden damage, ensuring proper substrate adhesion, and using coatings rated for local weather patterns. For commercial properties near landmarks like the Newark Museum or the Prudential Center, elastomeric coatings also offer energy savings by reflecting sunlight and reducing cooling costs. The flexibility of the material means it can be used on flat roofs, parapet walls, and foundations, making it a versatile option for protecting Newark’s diverse architecture—from Victorian-era homes in Forest Hill to modern lofts in the Downtown district.
