SEAL IT - THE NEXT GENERATION HYBRID ROOFING MEMBRANE
Everyone has their favourites , and in the roofing game the same can be said for choosing the right product ! Football or Rugby Union ? Wine or spirits ? Horse racing or Formula One ? We all have preferences and in the roofing industry we face the same choices and ultimate decisions . Although there are many roofing and weatherproofing compounds on the market , most roofing contractors have a favourite product that they will use time after time . Part of the reason for this is that all compounds appear to do more or less the same job . Indeed , it is a fact that in some installations the choice of compound is not critical , particularly given the tolerance there is in the products on the market . But the tolerance level can be stretched too far and often we don ’ t assess correctly the whole criteria required by a particular installation !
To ensure the right product is used for the right installation , a number of factors have to be considered . How damp is the installation and will it be prone to water retention ? How long for the product to cure in order to become resistant to water and moisture ? With roofing applications weather is always an unknown quantity and can often lead to roofing installations failing because of too much H 2
O . It is not always possible to cover a roof to give protection from the elements and we cannot control the weather to give us consecutive days of sunshine !
What materials are involved in the installation – will the surface requiring priming to allow the compound to adhere ? In particular , galvanized metals offer little keying properties for most acrylic based products and will inherently require a primer in order to fix the compound . This can extend application time considerably whilst you wait for the primer to dry before applying the compound . Also , how flexible is the material , if prone to movement then a product needs to be used that will give with oscillation and won ’ t break down or crack . Does the product need to be high-build and will it give a uniform 1 coat application ? Dependant on the viscosity of the liquid will it actually flow and reduce the protective layer or will it retain it ’ s properties allowing the product to be moulded into areas where required most .
Ventilation will also have a bearing on the product specification . In areas of poor ventilation high VOC products can cause irritation and in extreme cases nausea and dizziness to the applicator as well as subsequent residents . Particularly important with sensitive installations where lingering solvent smells will not meet health and safety requirements .
There are many things to consider when choosing the right product but with Bond It ’ s Seal It One Coat Room Membrane
