Hazlehurst, GA – South Georgia Coatings, a certified roof coating contractor for Lexis Coatings, has recently completed the installation of Lexis elastomeric roof coatings over aged built up roofing at the facility of Richmond Baking in Alma, GA.
Roof leaks have been blamed for a string of salmonella-related food recalls that have cost manufacturers millions of dollars in damages and lost income. Richmond Baking has taken a proactive approach to roof maintenance and food safety by installing a seamless roof coating membrane over their aged built up roof system.
"The result of the project allowed our facility in achieving accreditation with Safe Quality Foods (SQF), and satisfying many other third party auditors and inspectors. I fully endorse and recommend South Georgia Coatings to everyone." – Joe Tampio
Kelvin Wilcox of South Georgia Coatings recommended a fully reinforced EnergyGuard® Butyl Elastomeric Coating system on the roof.
As an added benefit, the roof coating also reflected about 90% of the heat from the sun. The infrared image on the left shows the dramatic temperature reduction on the flat roof. Cooler roof temperatures mean lower cooling costs and reduced roof damage due to thermal cycling.
Lower roof temperatures have a direct effect on the efficiency of rooftop mounted airconditioning units. Read more about the benefits of reflective roof coatings.

"A reinforced coating is more resistant to tearing and substrate movement. The additional safety margin is essential to food storage and manufacturing companies." – Kelvin Wilcox
Lexis Roof Coatings® are a cost-effective way to extend the life of roof systems and can be installed directly over an existing built up roof. The reflective coating system also offers energy savings, peace of mind and reduced maintenance.
