Silicone coatings hold up well on Winter Gardens roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. That is as true in Winter Gardens as anywhere in San Diego County. Coatings suit Winter Gardens buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. We see it on Winter Gardens roofs every week. Realistically, standing seam on a Winter Gardens property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal.
