all , leaving it soft on the inside and thereby not adhering to the substrate . And in freezing conditions ice crystals can destroy the structure – all leading to roofing failures . This makes it difficult for contractors to install waterproofing systems in extreme weather conditions and until recently , it was generally the norm that roofing systems couldn ’ t be laid for at least 24 hours after rain , or where high levels of humidity or freezing conditions were experienced .
The new generation hybrid liquid membranes however have been developed to combat these problems . Not only can they be applied at below freezing temperatures ( when used with a catalyst or accelerator ) they can also be installed on to wet surfaces or whilst it is raining . They also boast rapid curing times , a huge benefit when refurbing occupied premises where time on-site can be limited . This also helps reduce labour costs .
Not only do these systems deliver a visual enhancement of the roof they offer all the expected performance characteristics required for waterproofing flat roofs : ease of application , improved temperature resistance and stability as well as substantial health benefits and long-term durability and extended lifespan , when well-maintained and treated with appropriate care .
There are many things to consider when choosing the right product but with Bond It ’ s Seal It One Coat Roof Membrane waterproofing situations are made easy and comes with added benefits !
Seal It Liquid Membrane is a one coat roof sealer , applied by spray , brush or roller , offering an alternative to traditional GRP , PU , silicone and bitumen roof coatings . Highly reflective , solvent-free , and non-flammable , it is designed to be used on its own as a one coat membrane or can , in more demanding situations , be used in conjunction with a primer , accelerator , reinforcement mat and edging sealer . Altogether the system delivers a high performance , watertight , permanently flexible , durable barrier coating for all existing roof substrates , and requires no special training to apply .
With primerless adhesion to many substrates including metal , wood , brick , polyester , glass , lead , bitumen ( when used with a primer ), tile , plastics , polycarbonate , and concrete . It is cold applied and ideal for repairing flat roofs , pitch roofs ( less than 10o ), leaking flashing , guttering and roof lights and cracked roofing panels , corrugated or plate roofing materials , zinc , steel , fibre-cement and façade panels creating an impermeable seal to repel water damage and provide resistance to degradation from natural weathering like rain , snow and sunlight .
Based on advanced hybrid technology , developed in the UK by Bond It ’ s chemists , this product remains permanently flexible once cured and will not harden or soften even under extremes of weather , temperature , UV radiation and external chemical attack . Excellent resistance to ageing , ultra-violet and discolouration . Under test conditions , Seal It Liquid Membrane was shown to have superb cool roof thermal properties , and is now a CRRC rated product and is more efficient than solar reflective paint , all helping to reduce energy costs . Available in grey and white , 5L and 20L tins .
