Birds and squirrels love Silicone, don't believe me? Ask Dow. Also, I've put on more than a few industrial roofs and asking people to not walk on your roof is not realistic. The people who service rooftop equipment can be told a dozen times to walk on the walkways and they will not bother and walk any way they want. i have been on roofs with walkways and observed that many times. Why would I want to put on a roof that no one can walk on when I have so many other options?
Do you know that birds and other animals tear up epdm and other roofing systems as well. I've been on hundreds of roofs where hvac people have poked holes in every type of roof. It is common to install walkway pads for many types of roofing systems not just coating. Every roofing system needs to be maintained and coatings are especially easy to maintain.
