BBA or Not BBA – It’s Your Choice
When it comes to specifying a roof coating, do you actually need to be using a BBA Approved product?
As a manufacturer, we provide BBA approved products to give specifiers the reassurance that only comes with independent and unbiased testing.
If you’re not familiar with the process, it takes up to two years of testing to gain initial approval from BBA.
From then, twice annual manufacturing audits are conducted to ensure that the manufacturing processes remain consistent.
The cost involved in gaining BBA Approval is significant, as are the on-going fees and charges. Then there is the time considerable investment.
As you would expect, these costs are built in to the prices of BBA certified products, which means you pay more.
But do you always need to use a certified product?
There might be instances where cost becomes the overriding consideration for your client.
They might just want to bring their roof into repair prior to lease end, so why should they spend more than they need to?
In those situations where budget is key, how do you select a suitable product without it coming back to bite you at some point in the future?
To answer this, Liquasil has introduced Liquasil Lite, a universal, silicone roof coating for metal and asbestos cement roofs, based on our proven silicone technology.
Liquasil Lite is a budget offering.
It is not BBA Certified, but is manufacturered to the same exacting standards as our other products, using the same polymer base as our other roof coatings.
Liquasil Lite has been tested to BRoofT4 fire standard and comes with a 15 year product warranty.
All of this keeps costs low, so that even the most budget-conscious client can be satisifed.
