Quick answer

  • Roof drains within a day or two: acrylic
  • Water sits for days: silicone, or fix the low spot
  • Already silicone: silicone

Cost

Acrylic costs less. Silicone costs more but lasts better where water stands.

Dust

Silicone holds more dust, which dulls its whiteness. In dusty spring winds, acrylic stays brighter.

Our approach

We look at where water collects and price both options when it makes sense. See acrylic and silicone.
