Silver Shield is a premium quality, high solids content, fibrated aluminum roof coating. Silver Shield is formulated with specially selected asphalts, oils, and resins to combine the waterproofing capabilities of an asphalt roof coating with the reflectivity of aluminum paint. Silver Shield meets and exceeds ASTM D 2824, Type III.

Squeegee | consistent. Apply Silver Shield with appropriate squeegee, roller or brush. Avoid over working the material which can interfere with the leafing of the aluminum and cause the material to appear bronze or darker than desired. |
Roller | consistent. Apply Silver Shield with appropriate squeegee, roller or brush. Avoid over working the material which can interfere with the leafing of the aluminum and cause the material to appear bronze or darker than desired. |
Brush | consistent. Apply Silver Shield with appropriate squeegee, roller or brush. Avoid over working the material which can interfere with the leafing of the aluminum and cause the material to appear bronze or darker than desired. |

Benefits | Silver Shield Product Benefits 2016 |
A Silver Shield application reduces under-roof temperature by 15 ̊ or more. As a result, the workload on the building’s air conditioning system is reduced by as much as one ton per 1,500 ft.2 (1 ton (metric)/ 9.7 m2) so proper interior temperatures can be maintained at a lower cost.
Laboratory tests under conditions far more rigorous than any normal field experience verify Silver Shield’s improved performance and longevity. Silver Shield surpassed conventional reflective coatings in bake tests, accelerated weathering, freeze-thaw cycling, flexibility, and reflectivity tests.
Garland selects only the highest-grade aluminum flakes and uses more aluminum per gallon in Silver Shield than is used in some competitive comparable coatings.
