Rv roofs Compared: Why FlexArmor is the last, roof You’ll ever need.

The FlexArmor Difference.

  • A camper trailer driving along a winding mountain road surrounded by pine trees, with snow-capped mountains in the background.

    Not a liquid polymer coating that lets you down.

    There are several aftermarket options available today. Many RV owners have replaced their roof with rolled on liquid polymer roof coatings, with some applying it themselves, and others paying a company to apply it onsite (“we come to you”) who include some form of a warranty. While many are happy with their results, we have encountered RVs where these coatings failed, and we’ve replaced them with FlexArmor.

    Not a spray on liner that leads to failure.

    Another less common option is companies that spray bed liner onto an RV roof. While similar in some ways to FlexArmor, this material and the processes of those applying it aren’t focused exclusively on RV roofs, leading to eventual failure.

  • Nighttime scene of a group of people gathered outside a large white and black RV camper with an extended awning, some sitting in chairs around a table, others standing or near the RV, under soft exterior lighting, with trees and a dark sky in the background.

    Not an as-seen-on-TV trick.

    We’ve seen a variety of attempts to use products from the hardware store or advertised on TV products that simply aren’t designed for RV roofs with disastrous results.
