This is Liquasil Lite being installed onto a metal profiled roof in Corby during June 2025.
The cut edges of the roof sheets were prepared to ST3 standard, meaning that all visible rust and contaminants were removed to reveal a non-polished, bare substrate.
The single-pack, Liquasil Lite Corrosion Primer was applied to all cut edges and areas affected by spot rust.
In areas where the cut edge corrosion had perforated and holed over time at the mid-lap areas, slither sheets have been inserted and sealed at the top and bottom using Liquasil’s Lapsil sealant to prevent water ingress.
The original Plastisol finish had deteriorated with age and use over many years, leaving it crazed, chalky and unstable. The unstable Plastisol was removed with 4000psi jet wash equipment, leaving only stable residue in its place.
Once dry, the roof was coated with Liquasil Lite top coat, a flexible and hard-wearing silicone polymer with a matt finish in Goosewing Grey using airless spray equipment.
The installing contractor, Ideal Roofing & Cladding Ltd of Staffordshire commented that the Liquasil Lite top coat was very nice to spray and that they were very happy with the finish.
About Liquasil Lite
Liquasil Lite is designed for use on open-specification roof coating projects, or where significant cost-savings are required.
It does not require “Liquasil Approved Installer” status and projects do not need to be audited or inspected by Liquasil. This further reduces costs, administration and hassle.
There are 2 product warranty options available, either a 15 year or 25 year and this is dependent upon which cut edge corrosion primer is employed.
Our single-pack, Liquasil Lite corrosion primer is unique to the Liquasil Lite system and reduces the overall cost of the system to levels below most competitors.
For extra reassurance, we also offer the option to use SWT (Surface & Wet Tolerant) corrosion primer. This is a flexible, marine-grade primer that provides extremely long term protection against top-down rusting of roof sheets at the cut edges. This qualifies Liquasil Lite installations for the 25 year system warranty.
