Why Are More Roofers Turning to Liquid Roofing?
Flat roofing has traditionally relied on materials such as felt and fibreglass, but liquid roofing systems are becoming an increasingly popular option for suitable flat and low-pitched roofs.
So what's behind the change?
A seamless approach.
One of the biggest attractions of liquid roofing is the ability to create a continuous waterproofing membrane across a prepared roof surface.
Without the need for multiple sheets and joints, the liquid can flow around suitable roof details, edges and awkward areas before curing to form a seamless membrane.
An alternative for refurbishment.
When an existing flat roof begins to deteriorate, complete replacement isn't always the only option.
Where the existing roof is suitable, refurbishment using a liquid-applied system can provide another approach to waterproofing and protecting the roof.
That can be particularly useful where reducing disruption is important.
Designed for the conditions.
A roof has to cope with rain, wind, sunlight, temperature changes and movement.
Modern liquid roofing systems are formulated to cure into flexible, durable membranes designed to withstand these conditions when correctly applied.
Why are contractors interested?
For suitable projects, liquid roofing can offer:
A seamless waterproofing membrane
A practical alternative to some traditional roofing methods
Flexibility around roof details
Cold application with no hot works
options for projects where this matters
Of course, no roofing system is suitable for every roof. Correct assessment, preparation and application are essential.
What about RoofSkin?
RoofSkin is a British-manufactured polyurethane liquid roofing system designed for suitable flat and low-pitched roofs.
It is 100% volume solids, solvent-free and virtually odour-free, with self-levelling properties that help create a smooth, seamless waterproofing membrane.
