Don''t let bad weather hold you back from waterproofing

Take the pressure out of waterproofing in any weather and keep your roofs steadfast no matter the forecast

The wettest UK months are upon us and bad weather will persist in typical British fashion for the foreseeable future. No one wants to be confronted by a leaking roof or have to deal with the potentially expensive and disruptive consequences of water ingress. To prevent these problems, Polycote stocks a range of impressive waterproof roof coatings that are ready to deliver.

Roofs are prone to defects; if these defects are left unmonitored or unfixed then long-term issues and substantial damage can occur as a result. Age and weather conditions like snow, high winds and ice can gradually create prolonged damage to roofs over time and cause splits, cracks, tears and holes that water can penetrate.

Commercial, residential and industrial buildings are all prone to water damage from roofing issues. Many people believe it’s just a structural inconvenience that isn’t that serious but the hazards of leaving a roof unattended can be severe for health and building security. High utility bills, wasted energy, mould and mildew, fire hazards (electrical) and compromised structural integrity are just a few of the consequences of unfixed roof damage.

So how can you maintain the integrity of a flat or pitched roof to prevent water damage?

Wetterflex BG is a bitumen roof paint that is designed to provide an instant waterproof coating in ALL weathers. But not just bitumen! This product is a unique blend of bitumens and polymers that is designed to last much longer than traditional old bitumen products. Wetterflex BG forms an ultra-tough, seamless, flexible layer and only requires one coat for a long-lasting result.

As mentioned, the real strength of Wetterflex BG is that it can be applied in dry or wet conditions, during heavy rain or even underwater, and is impermeable to water immediately after application.

Wetterflex TG is an instant, trowel-applied, flexible roofing compound paint designed for providing roofs with an immediate waterproof coating. The product is thicker and heavier than Wetterflex BG and ideal for emergency repairs where you need to create a build-up, fill holes or repair covings, upstands etc. Its unique ability to adhere when applied to a wide variety of substrates in the wettest conditions is unmatched.

Both Wetterflex BG and Wetterflex TG can be applied to asphalt, bitumen, felt, asbestos, concrete, roofing tiles, slate, brick, stone, cast iron, galvanised steel, aluminium, lead, zinc, glass, fibreglass, PVC and timber. Both products are also black and are available in 5 kg and 25 kg.
