Roof Coating Solutions
Aquashield Roof Coating Solution
It is a five stage process, but at its simplest it stabilises and waterproofs the tiles. The water based, micro porous acrylic coating creates a waterproof but not a vapour proof barrier. This allows the tiles and roof structure to breathe and the tiles to fully dry out. We also do not seal the gaps between the tiles or the laps and this allows air to circulate preventing condensation forming on the underside. This is an effective application of a long standing technology. Aquashield own the sole UK rights to the coating and are therefore the only company offering this exceptional system and guarantee.
How do we achieve this? On a roof it is not possible to pressure inject. Here the dampness of the tile helps us. Our coating is water based, so when we apply it the molecules of the compound can migrate through the damp and penetrate deeply into the tile. It then “dries” and subsequently “cures” to form a microscopic mesh. This allows the smaller water vapour molecules to pass out through it; but stops the larger water liquid molecules from re-entering, just as in high tech breathable waterproof clothing. Becoming part of the tile it is protected by the concrete and clay matrix and won’t flake, peel, crack or blister. It is flexible, moves with the tile and is UV stable. As it doesn’t sit on the tile the texture and character of the tile and roof is maintained. The tile is stabilised and erosion ceases. We believe, because of these characteristics, an Aquashield renovated tile is better than a new one.
As the pointing and verges are also waterproofed they don’t deteriorate, maintenance is minimised, saving you money all around.
NO WATER, NO EROSION, NO ROT, NO MOSS, NO LICHEN, GUARANTEED. Heavy rain washes bird lime and dirt from the roof which helps to maintain the look for years. Your gutters stay free of moss, sand and aggregates. Conservatory roofs, patios and pathways remain cleaner, longer. Unlike other companies who offer minimal guarantees, we give a 10 year guarantee. Our coating will not flake, peel, crack or blister and moss or lichen will not re-grow. Power washing, scraping, brushing and treating with chemicals are very short term solutions. Chemicals wash away. A power wash without our coating, accelerates erosion (reducing the productive roof life), leaves a cosmetically unappealing surface, spreads moss spores and creates a great substrate for lichen and moss.
Available in five colours, one will ideally suit your home. If it has been extended an Aquashield protected roof has the additional benefit of unifying its appearance, considerably enhancing your home’s “kerb appeal”, it improves saleability and increases value.
