Liquid-applied roof
coatings have proven themselves as useful tools for
the roofing professional to restore and protect existing roofs. They can be
extremely durable and used as the first-line of defence in the roofing
envelope, offering further protection to other components below. Liquid roof
coatings are after market products designed to extend life, seal leaks, provide
a heat reflective or aesthetic function over existing roof surfaces. There are
many products on the market ranging from asphalt based products, rubber
solution (Hypalon, Neoprene, Silicone), water based Acrylic and other
emulsions, and chemically curing systems such as Urethanes and now Liquid Roof.
Liquid Roof forms a 100% chemically-cured seamless White membrane every bit as
solid and attractive as factory-installed sheet rubber. Liquid Roof's simple
one-coat application by brush or roller saves you time and money, sealing and
protecting your RV from water damage.
As far as application of liquid roof is concerned, it
offers compatibility to a large number of surfaces such as metal, concrete,
fibreglass, fabric, foam, rubber. It may be applied on
roof decks, metal roofs, gutters, structural steel, air conditioner enclosures,
cooling towers, galvanized steel, unit heater flues, smoke stacks and chimneys,
fibreglass, non porous masonry surfaces, pool liners, underground room
waterproofing, and channels. It is also excellent for wood, canvas, cement, or
metal roof repair over large surface areas. One most important advantage of
using liquid roof is that it does not require a top coat, primer or additional
applications like many other roofing products.
Liquid roof ideally
can be used for many types of roof repair. One of the most important Liquid
Roof Repair applications is RV Roof Repair. Liquid roof sticks to the entire
types of facades- canvas, plywood, suds, cement, mass rubber, customized
roofing, additional roof coverings, strengthen, timber, top tiles, genuine
tiles, solid, and many more. It is the most cost effective and efficient product
for solving RV Roof Leaks Repair problem as it does not chalk, shrink, crack,
peak and flake.
There are some
tips which must be kept in mind before applying liquid rubber on your roof. Be
aware that it is a 3 to 6 hrs process, excluding the surface preparation time.
Once the liquid EPDM Rubber is
applied, it takes around 16 to 20 hours to dry up. Therefore proper management
of time is necessary. Careful planning regarding weather conditions should be
done as well, i.e. one should plan to work on days when the rain is not
expected because although Liquid Roof will immediately waterproof, even when
wet, avoid heavy rain until it is completely dry to the touch which means 16 -
20 hours after application. To be on the safe side, one can say that a full
cure will be achieved in 4 - 10 days after application, in consistent 70 deg F.
The Common
advantages that Liquid roof coatings offer are countless.
It is waterproof, has high compatibility with almost all types of surfaces,
very flexible and elastic and can withstand a large temperature range from -62 degrees F to 300 degrees F
without cracking. All I can say about liquid roof is that It’s the best and
roof is the most important aspect of a house and liquid roof is the one which
can take care for it properly.
