Leaking roof problems are not unheard of in most households. Expense goes out of hands when it comes to repairing roofs and leakages during rainy seasons. Even with periodic maintenance, temperature changes makes roofs look withered after a certain period of time.
Technological advances have led to many more innovations and inventions in roofing repairs. One such invention is the waterproof roof coating, made generally from polymers. Resurfacing the area can only help so far. For long lasting effects, a beeline is now made for waterproof roof coating.
Some of these coatings are made from a mixture of several agricultural oils. These bio based products make them more eco-friendly. They do a good job, fighting against UV rays, extreme temperatures, and other climatic shocks, like hurricanes, storms, and floods.
Advantages of roof coatings:
” Ozone and UV resistant.
” Long life, reliability and durability
” Suited for all kinds of roofs.

” Does not contain any toxic chemicals, making them hazard free.
” Good adhesion with surface, and resists atmospheric moisture.
They can be applied on the surfaces like
” concrete foam
” tar and gravel
” asphalt
” single ply membranes
” slate and tiles
Guidelines for the application:
” Should be ensured that surface is clean and dry. Fungicide cleaner or bleach may be used.
” Before the initial application, patch testing is done (to a measured area of the roof), to ensure proper adhesion.
” Peeling surfaces, loose materials should be removed before application.
” Breaks, leaks, splits and cracks should be fixed before application. They should be filled in with material so they form a uniform area to apply.
” Product should be mixed thoroughly by stirring. It must not be diluted. Dilution will reduce the effectiveness.
” Usually, one coat is considered enough, but an additional coat makes it even more secure.
” The coat is sealed with the sealant coat. Then it is left to dry.
Depending on the surface on which the coat is applied, whether concrete or rubber, or metals, the time taken for the coating to dry and adhere completely to the surface will vary.
