Metals and Metal Roofs

UNIQUE BENEFITS FOR METAL PROFILE SUBSTRATE ROOFS

Protection Against Concrete Spalling

The main unique benefit of coating weak, deteriorating, rusting sheet metal roofs and valleys is that it can simply provide a seamless, waterproof barrier that can help to prevent water infiltration and leaks and help stop the rust from spreading. The liquid polyurethane coating adheres to the metal substrate and forms a continuous, flexible membrane that can accommodate any movement or expansion in the metal without cracking or splitting.

NOTE:

It is important to note that the success of the coating application depends on the condition of the metal substrate, and any necessary repairs or preparation should be carried out before the coating is applied. It is also important to ensure that the coating is applied by a professional contractor who has the necessary expertise and experience to ensure a high-quality, long-lasting result.

Additional Benefits

Improved Energy Efficiency

The coating can help to reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption, which can help to lower cooling costs and improve energy efficiency.

Extended Lifespan of the Roof

The coating can help to protect the metal substrate from environmental damage such as UV radiation and corrosion, that can help to extend the life of the roof.

Enhanced Aesthetic Appearance

The coating can be applied in a range of colors and finishes, which can help to improve the appearance of the roof and contribute to the overall look of the building.

Reduced Maintenance & Repair Costs

The coating can help to minimize the need for costly repairs and maintenance by protecting the roof from damage and reducing the likelihood of leaks.

Application – Joint Reinforcement

Improving the waterproofing of roofs, constructed with metal profile sheeting requires joint reinforcement. Not only does our coating cover every aspect of your roof, but it also provides a single seamless and jointless finish that eliminates the risk of roof joint failure. With no joints then to worry about, you can trust that your roof will be more reliable and longer-lasting.

A liquid polyurethane coating can provide several benefits for metal profile sheeting substrates, including improved moisture resistance, corrosion protection, and extended lifespan. By using joint tape to reinforce vulnerable areas, the overall protection can be further improved, reducing the need for maintenance and repairs.
