Liquid roofing systems provide waterproofing and protection against all climatic conditions by means of a liquid applied material which cures to produce a totally seamless and waterproof barrier. These versatile products can be used as a coating or utilised in conjunction with fibreglass matting to provide additional reinforcement. Liquid roofing systems can be used to protect an entire roof or as a repair material for maintenance applications.
Liquid roofing systems are free from joints, seams, fixings and other potential risk areas that cause leaks in some traditional roofing systems. They may be utilised in both new build or refurbishment projects and offer a wide range of solutions to suit the specifiers requirements.
In refurbishment situations liquid roofing systems are usually applied over the existing waterproofing, therefore removal of the existing system is avoided, there is no need for any form of temporary roof, and contract time is faster than most conventional systems.
Liquid roofing systems are versatile and can be rapidly installed on most substrates. The seamless nature of the product makes for ease of application to even the most complex roof detail. Simple installation makes liquid roof systems fast to complete, cutting on-site time and keeping costs to a minimum.
