Extend your EPDM or TPO rubber roof with Dicor acrylic coating. Seam inspection before coating. Indoor facility. When other companies skip the inspection, we don't.
Your EPDM black rubber roof is cracking at the edges. Your TPO white membrane is yellowing from Colorado's relentless sun. You notice seams lifting in one spot. The rubber is aging - that much is obvious. You could ignore it and wait for leaks. Or you could extend your roof 5-7 years with a properly applied coating.
Here's the mistake most RV owners make. They buy a DIY coating kit online or call a mobile tech who shows up with a pressure washer and spray gun. Neither includes seam inspection. Neither removes failed sealant first. They coat right over compromised seams, trap moisture underneath, and accelerate the damage they were trying to prevent. The coating looks good for six months. Then seeping starts, and the roof fails faster than it would have without the coating.
Fiberglass Worx inspects every seam and sealant joint before any coating goes on. If we find failed seams, we fix them first. We remove deteriorated sealant, reapply fresh sealant, clean the membrane surface, and check for moisture. Only after proper prep do we apply Dicor acrylic coating in our climate-controlled indoor facility. Dicor gives you a white reflective finish that seals minor surface issues, reduces heat buildup inside your RV, and buys you 5-7 more years. Colorado's high-altitude UV is 15-20% more intense than at sea level. A white reflective coating matters here more than anywhere else.

Every rubber roof coating follows our proven 6-step process in our indoor facility. Seam inspection comes first.
Bring your RV to our shop at 7685 Dahlia Street in Commerce City. We inspect your rubber roof from one end to the other. We assess whether the membrane is in sound condition for coating, identify any visible seam issues, check for previous leak repairs, and walk you through the scope and timeline. Coating only works on roofs in acceptable condition.
We inspect every seam and sealant joint - the horizontal seams where panels overlap, the vertical seams at the walls, the perimeter seams, vents, A/C penetrations, everything. We document failed or deteriorating sealant with photographs. We check for lifted seams, dried sealant, and evidence of moisture intrusion. This is the step others skip. We never do.
We remove all failed or deteriorated sealant with specialized tools. We clean the seam bed with solvent. We reapply fresh, manufacturer-approved sealant. We let it cure properly. Then we wash and dry the entire roof membrane to remove dust, oxidation, and loose material. The surface must be clean and dry for Dicor to bond properly.
We apply the first coat of Dicor acrylic coating in our climate-controlled indoor facility. Proper temperature and humidity control ensure even curing and color uniformity. Dicor is a white reflective acrylic that adds UV protection, seals minor surface cracks, and reduces the heat buildup inside your RV during Colorado summers.
We apply a second coat of Dicor for full coverage and maximum durability. We monitor cure time and conditions. Dicor needs 48 hours of proper curing before your RV is ready to travel. We don't rush this. Proper cure means the coating lasts the full 5-7 years.
We inspect every square foot of the coated roof. We check for missed spots, color uniformity, adhesion, and proper seam coverage. We walk you through what was done, what the coating will and won't do, and when to schedule your next roof inspection. Then we get your RV back to you ready to travel.

Everything you need to know about RV rubber roof coating at Fiberglass Worx.
Dicor is a white reflective acrylic coating manufactured for RV rubber roofs. It bonds to both EPDM and TPO membranes. It reflects UV rays, seals minor surface cracks, and adds years of protection. It is not a permanent solution like Crazy Seal, but it extends the life of a sound rubber roof 5-7 years at a mid-tier price point.
Cost depends on your RV length and roof condition. A standard travel trailer or motorhome typically runs $800-$2,000 for full inspection, seam repair, and two-coat Dicor application. Larger Class A motorhomes may run $2,000-$3,500. We provide free verbal estimates in person - no phone quotes, because seam condition and surface prep requirements vary widely.
Dicor acrylic coating lasts 5-7 years on a properly sealed roof. The durability depends entirely on seam quality before coating. If seams are compromised, the coating lasts 2-3 years before moisture problems appear. That's why we inspect and repair seams first. Coating over failed seams is a false economy.
Yes, but only if the roof is in acceptable condition. We inspect seams, sealant, and membrane before deciding if coating is appropriate. If there is active moisture intrusion, deep cracks, or severely failed seams, coating won't help - the roof may need repair or replacement instead. We are honest about this upfront.
Because coating over a failed seam traps moisture underneath the new finish. The moisture can't escape. It wicks into the roof layers and accelerates damage. Most DIY kits and mobile techs skip seam inspection entirely. We don't. We fix seam issues first, then coat a properly prepared surface.
Dicor acrylic coating extends the life of your existing rubber roof 5-7 years. It's applied to the roof as-is and protects the membrane underneath. Crazy Seal is our premium permanent coating - it bonds to the roof substrate, lasts 50+ years, and requires a different application process. Dicor is mid-tier. Crazy Seal is the long-term solution. Tell us your timeline and budget, and we'll recommend what makes sense for your RV.
Yes. Dicor bonds to both EPDM black rubber and TPO white/grey membranes. The application process is identical. EPDM roofs benefit from the white reflective coating because black absorbs heat - Colorado summers can cook an uncoated EPDM roof. TPO roofs also benefit from the UV protection and crack sealing.
Colorado's high-altitude UV is 15-20% more intense than at sea level, which degrades uncoated rubber roofs faster. The freeze-thaw cycle is brutal - water gets in during warm days, freezes at night and expands, widening cracks. A white reflective Dicor coating reduces UV exposure and helps prevent heat-driven aging. It also reduces the heat buildup inside your RV during 90-degree summer days - your AC runs less, your energy cost drops, and your interior stays cooler.Escape Trailer Industries service partner, but our expertise covers the entire RV spectrum.
