Silicone coatings hold up well on Financial District roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. That is as true in Financial District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Financial District where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. TPO and modified bitumen both work on Financial District low-slope roofs, and the choice in most cases comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. It is the same story on most Financial District streets.
