Industrial roof coatings add a protective layer, shielding against UV rays, weather, and corrosion.
Coatings seal existing cracks and gaps, preventing water from penetrating and causing damage.
Roof coatings are an affordable alternative to full roof replacement, reducing maintenance costs.
Coatings can revitalise the roof’s look, giving it a fresh, clean, and uniform finish.
Industrial roofs become damaged over time; whether the roof is made from metal, metal roof sheets, asbestos or fibre cement board, all are susceptible to weathering, which can cause a number of problems including cracked sheets, build-up of mould and vegetation, roof leaks, and corrosion.
If not tackled early enough, a roof can become damaged beyond repair, which could lead to the entire roof needing to be stripped off and replaced with a new roof – this can be very inconvenient and very costly.
Preparing a damaged roof and applying a new roof coating is a cost effective and convenient way of repairing problems with the roof and ensuring that the life span of the roof is increased dramatically. Roof coatings can be applied to old, failing roofs without having to stop the use of the building. The roof can be prepared and coated whilst the building remains fully operational meaning no down time for the residents or business within the building.
Roof coatings have warranties of up to 25 years so long term peace of mind can be achieved with a cost-effective solution.
Application of a roof coating will seal up and stop all existing roof leaks. A roof coating effectively creates a seamless waterproof membrane across the entire roof, which will seal up and holes, cracks, poor fixings etc to ensure a completely watertight system.
The benefits of a roof coating rather than a roof replacement are firstly that applying a roof coating will allow the building to remain fully operational throughout the process.
With a roof replacement, this would mean that the existing, failing roof would need to be completely removed, resulting in an extended period where the building would be open to the elements, and would likely need to be temporarily closed down, resulting in loss of productivity and a large amount of disruption.
Secondly, a roof coating is also a far more cost-effective option, with typical figures being around a third of the cost of a roof replacement.
The process for a roof coating starts with a survey of the roof and a bespoke roof coating manufacturer’s specification written to carry out the work.
Any necessary scaffolding access would be installed and then the roof would be thoroughly cleaned to remove all contamination and any loose / flaking coatings.
In the case of a metal roof, all corrosion would be prepared back to a minimum of ST3 standard and spot primed. This would include all cut edge and sheet end corrosion, with any roof sheet laps being taped or silicone applied to ensure that there are no gaps between the sheet laps and to ensure that they are completely water tight.
For an asbestos roof, any damaged sheets would be repaired and any sheets with large cracks would be over sheeted with the same profile GRP sheet and spot primed.
Once all preparation is complete, the roof coating would then be applied, usually by airless spray application to ensure the correct roof coating thickness and a uniform finish is achieved.
Multiple coats may be required depending on the product and warranty requirements.
The project would then be checked upon completion by the roof coating manufacturer, with a warranty subsequently being issued.
An asbestos roof coating is a coating that can be applied to an asbestos roof to give a long-lasting, waterproofing solution. Asbestos roofs have a lifespan of between 25 – 40 years; after this time they will start to degrade and can start to develop problems such as leaks, fibre shed etc.
Applying an asbestos roof coating can provide a fresh, clean look to the roof and will give a watertight solution. Another benefit of an asbestos roof coating is that it will help stop asbestos fibre shed and comes with warranties of up to 25 years.
An asbestos roof certainly can be painted. The reason for painting would be to give a fresh, new look to the roof, make the roof watertight and prevent asbestos fibre shed.
It is however vitally important that prior to painting, the asbestos roof is correctly prepared, and that any painting work undertaken is done so in line with HSE guidelines, with a proper asbestos roof paint and by a company who are approved installers by the paint manufacturer.
