Waterproof Roof Paint

A: This is a waterproof product that does not cure solid - it forms a surface skin therefore this cannot be trafficked when applied.

A: Hi, for this area you would require 4 tins of 5kg

A: Hi, the coverage of the product is approximately 1m2 per kg. To cover this space you would require 40kg or 8 x 5kgs. We can send an official quote, we would simply require your details. Please send us your address and contact details to: info@floorsaver.co.uk and i can get something back you shortly after.

A: Hi,

This product can be used to patch small areas, repair holes and cracks (using the sand additive) or to ocver an entire roof surface. The coverage when painting over wider areas is 1m2 per kg.

A: Hi, to get an easy estimate on space from feet to metres, simply divide the total by 10. So 10ft x 10ft is 100sq ft, or just under 10m2. 

Therefore you would require 2 x 5kg packs of our waterproof roof paint to cover this area. if there is anything else i can help with, please get in touch.

A: Hi, this can be used on steel. It will stick to almost any surface. Once old and dry it could be over coated with another bitumen paint.
Kind Regards,
Michael

A: Hi, it would work for this type of surface. If the shingle is quite large then you may need a little extra to completely cover it, so i would allow for this when working out the coverage/qunantity required, but it will be perfectly suitable for your roof.
Kind Regards,
Michael

A: The waterproof roof paint cover 1m2 per KG. For a roof that is 10ft x 6 ft the area you have in metres is 5.6m2 therefore we would recommend buying 10kg to be safe.

Any unused product can be kept sealed for at least 24 months and can still be used to touch-up or recoat.

Alternatively you can simply apply a thicker or second coat on the first application.

A: The Waterproof Roof Paint is a thick bitumen based paint product. It is applied by brush at around 1mm thick and would instantly waterproof any areas of cracks or aps where your felt membrane is failing. This product usually requires some remedial works after around 12-24 months, but not the whole area, it would most likely be a small amount of over coating/touching up the worst affected areas. This is very cheap and easy to do.

It is resistant to UV in terms of drying and durability, but does change colour from the contamination and sunlight so would not be used anywhere hugely visible.

The product is likely to de-bond and wear quicker if you have areas of pooling water. This product will solve the problem in the short term but the fall on the roof should be addressed for a more permanent repair.

A: Good morning Michael,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Yes the Waterproof Roof Paint will be fine on a fibre glass substrate.

Should you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kindest regards

A: This product can be applied as low as Zero degrees. Ideally you would apply in slightly warmer temperatures to aid curing, but above zero would be suitable.

A: Yes, this is fine to go on to an asbestos surface.  We recommend that the surface is relatively clean and free of any loose debris prior to application.

A: Hi, although this product does adhere to a large number of surfaces, I am afraid it would not be suitable for application to plastic. This type of material does not allow a paint coating to penetrate and bond correctly.

It is likely that the product would simply sit above the surface and wash away quite quickly. I am sorry.

A: This would be fine to use on materials such as corrugated iron.  We would recommend thoroughly abrading the surface first and ensuring that the area is cleaned.

A: You shouldn't need to put more than one coat on, except perhaps around vulnerable areas such as joints, etc.  If this is what you are intending to do, it's best to go over joints, gaps and edges first with one coat of Waterproof Roof Paint, followed by one complete coat over the whole area (so basically the joints are getting 2 coats), and you won't have a problem with the two coats bonding to each other.

A: No unfortunately not.  The rust would need to be completely removed, or you could treat it with a rust converter before applying Waterproof Roof Paint.   We do not have a rust converter in our range, but our sister company, Watco (01483 425000 www.watco.co.uk) have one, it's called Watco Primebase.

A: Yes the Waterproof Roof Paint does stay tacky due to the paint being a high solvent  bitumen based product and is not suitable for use on a trafficked surface (although emergency/maintenance repairs are fine). With regards to the surface of the roof, as long as you are able to create a key for the new coating this should be fine, but without knowing what is on the roof it's hard to be 100% certain.  It's always best to do a test area first.

A: Waterproof Roof Paint will adhere to roofing felt with no problem at all. As long as the felt is clean, free of loose material and sound, you just need to brush apply it to the surface.

A: Sorry, it's not compatible.  The solvent in the Waterproof Roof Paint will soften the Desmopol coating and react with it.

A: Yes it can provided it is old and well weathered. It just can't go onto new or shiny fibreglass.

A: We recommend aiming to use 1kg of our Waterproof Roof Paint to 1m².  Our product information sheet is available on the product page on the website which covers everything from preparation, application, drying times, etc. which you should find helpful.   

A: Unfortunatley, this is not suitable to be overpainted as it is a highly solvented bitumend.

A: A 5kg tub will cover 5sqm, you have very slightly over this so would advise purchasing 2 Waterproof Roof Paint - weatherproof, fibre reinforced roof paint – floorsaver
