Step-by-Step Instructions:
1
Clean and Prepare the Surface
- Start by thoroughly cleaning the roof to remove dirt, oil, and impurities.
- Use a water blaster or wire brush for stubborn debris or surface rust.
- For heavily rusted areas, apply a rust converter to neutralise the rust.
- Patch large holes with metal sheets to restore structural integrity.
- Allow the surface to dry completely before proceeding.
2
Reinforce Vulnerable Areas (Rubber-Geo-Rubber Method)
- Identify cracks, holes, seams, screws, and joints.
- Use the Rubber - Geo - Rubber method:
- Rubber: Apply a layer of Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant over these areas.
- GEO: Place the Geo Textile on top of the wet sealant.
- Rubber: Cover with another layer of rubber sealant to ensure full encapsulation.
3
Prime the Surface
Depending on the surface type:
- For painted or previously coated surfaces: Use Primer/Sealer to ensure proper adhesion.
- For raw metal or sanded-down areas: Apply Etch Primer for effective bonding.
- Apply the primer evenly using a brush, roller, or spray machine.
- Allow it to dry completely before moving to the next step.
4
Apply 2 - 3 Coats of Thermal Coating
- Once the Liquid Rubber DIY Waterproof Sealant is fully cured, apply 2-3 coats of white Thermal Coating.
- Allow each coat to dry for 24h. This final layer enhances the durability and energy efficiency of your roof.
