Best Budget Coating For Metal & Asbestos Roofs
When all you want is to buy an industrial roof coating, why pay a premium for accreditations and services you don’t need?
Liquasil Lite is more than just an industrial roof coating system. It’s a completely new concept designed to save contractors money.
Liquasil Lite is;
- Low cost
- Fire rated to BRoofT4
- Easy to apply
- Proven silicone technology
- Guaranted to 25 years & no site audits
This system is ideal for those projects with an open specification because it provides you with complete reassurance of proven Liquasil technology with the option of either 15 or 25 year product warranties.
Unlike our specification grade, BBA approved Metalseal system, we do not insist upon manufacturer’s site audits for Liquasil Lite, but they are available for larger projects. Just ask, it’s your choice.
Standard Specification is suitable for most applications. If you’ve applied other roof coating systems, Liquasil Lite will be a welcome, cheaper addition to your range.
Training is optional because if you’re an experienced roof coatings contractor, you probably already know enough to install Liquasil Lite. But if you want training, it’s available free of charge.
Site audits are not necessary for warranty purposes, which eliminates a major cost element.
Colours – Liquasil Lite comes in Goosewing Grey as standard. We can make any RAL colour for a small extra cost.
Volume Discounts – This is also the only Liquasil system that attracts volume discounts, so the larger the roof, the less you pay!
Discounts are available for single projects of >2,500 sq metres and >10,000 sq metres.
Professional Specifiers
If you are specifying a metal roof coating we would politely refer you to our BBA Approved metal roof coating system.
Liquasil Lite does not have BBA Approval, but is fire rated to BRoofT4.

Your Choice Of Corrosion Primer
Liquasil Lite Cut Edge Corrosion Primer
(15 year system)
Liquasil Lite cut edge corrosion primer is a single pack product ready to use from the tin, after a brief stirring.
Supplied in a 5 litre tin, coverage is approximately 3.1 to 6.7 sq metres per litre at a wet film weight between 150-320 microns to achieve a dry film thickness of c 75-150 microns.
The Liquasil Lite cut edge corrosion primer will be touch dry between 2 and 4 hours at average temperatures of 20°c.
Drying time reduces in direct sunlight.
The primer should be installed at temperatures between 5°c and 40° using brush or roller which can be cleaned using Xylene solvent.
Ovcercoating time is unlimited, as long as the surface is cleaned with Liquasil Solvent Wipe to reduce environmental contamination if left longer than 24 hours.
Pot life is unlimited, even when opened, but when not in use, lids should replaced firmly to avoid skinning and product contamination.
Liquasil Lite Cut Edge Corrosion Primer
(25 year system)
One of the biggest issues on metal profiled roofs is cut edge corrosion and all of our systems include treatment as standard.
If your client needs the reassurance of a 25 year product warranty, we supply our proven SWT Primer for this purpose, as it is designed to last longer.
SWT Primer is a two-pack, marine-grade epoxy made specifically for treating corrosion in gutters and on steel roofs. It has flexibility built-in to cope with temeperature variances, unlike most epoxy resins.
Once the two components are mixed, the product is applied by brush or roller to the prepared cut edges at a wet film weight of approximately 125 microns.
Once dry, SWT Primer can be overcoated with Liquasil Lite to provide exceptional top-down protection against further corrosion.
SWT Primer is very robust, yet adds only pennies to the sq metre cost of the Liquasil Lite system.
Liquasil Lite Top Coat
Liquasil Lite top coat is a silicone polymer coating supplied in single pack, 15 litre cans. The product should be stirred before use.
Coverage is approximately 3 sq metres per litre at a wet film thickness of 300 microns. (250 microns dry film thickness).
All areas to be coated must be cleaned throughly and free from peeling, flaking and unsound finishes.
We strongly recommend that you conduct adhesion tests on all substrate types before applying to large areas.
If taking breaks during coating, replace the lid to avoid skinning. Keep contents away from moisture contamination, especially when first opening cans that have been left in the rain – dry the lids before opening.
Bare galvanised surfaces must be treated with Liquasil Mordant T-Wash solution, which should be washed off once the galvanised surface has blackened.
PVDF finishes require priming with Liquasil PVDF Primer before application of Liquasil Lite Top Coat.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Is The Warranty?
The standard, self-certified warranty period for the Liquasil Lite system is 15 years, but if you choose to treat corrosion with SWT Primer, this qualifies for a 25 year warranty.
How Do I Get A Warranty?

You will need to supply us with the following information:

What Does Warranty Cover?
Liquasil can only guarantee its own products.
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to ensure our products are installed correctly, because workmanship is excluded.
If you are an end-user looking to purchase this system, ask your chosen installer to provide a workmanship warranty.
Silicone roof coating systems are extremely robust but need to be installed in strict accordance with the instructions.
Do You Inspect Projects?
It’s up to you. Liquasil Lite is a budget system that is supplied direct to contractors for their own use, with a self-certified warranty.
If you require inspections, they are available upon request for larger projects. We may charge a small fee for site inspection on smaller projects, or those where more than 1 hour travel is required. That’s because we have removed the cost of inspections from the Liquasil Lite system.
Site inspections are conducted by qualified personnel, not sales reps.
Please call us on 0121 709 5352 if you need this service.

Training isn’t compulsory if you’re experienced with roof coating systems.

Can I Get A Specification?
Yes, scroll up the page and you’ll see a downloads area where you can download our standard installation instructions.
We don’t do site-specific specifications for this system, unless you are already an Approved Installer of our specification grade systems, but the main things to remember are:
- If the existing finish has stripped off during cleaning, leaving a bare galvanised substrate, you’ll need to T-Wash the surface.
- If the surface you are applying Liquasil Lite to is PVDF, you’ll need our PVDF primer.
- If mid-lap cut edge corrosion is present, you need to decide whether you want to seal the mid-lap joints – in which case you’ll need to order Lapsil sealant as part of your order.
