Metal Roof & Cladding Coating Project
This is a full roof & cladding coating project completed in in Aberdeen during 2022, by Emerald Contracts of Ayr, using Liquasil’s metal roof coating system, Metalseal.
The original plastisol finish was delaminating badly, leaving the steel substrate exposed to the weather and susceptible to corrosion, being in a coastal location.
Cleaning the roof with high powered jet wash equipment, the existing finish was completely removed across large sections of the roof.
Cut edges were treated with Liquasil SWT Primer, an anti-corrosion primer designed to stop further top-down corrosion from occurring. The primed areas then received an initial coat of Metalseal 20.
The rest of the cleaned metal roof was then coated with a single coat of Metalseal 20, wioth the previously primed and coated cut edges receiving two coats in total, to ensure that these vulnerable areas were doubly protected.
Metalseal was supplied as a special order in RAL5011, Steel Blue colour.
The completed installation is covered by Liquasil’s 20 year product warranty.
Being in a coastal location, the steel profiled roof is susceptible to corrosion, but the application of Metalseal fully protects the surface from the extreme elements, leading to a longer lasting roof.
Our metal roof coating has been designed from the ground up, to provide robust protection for metal roofs in all conditions.
Even when severe corrosion is present, our SWT (Surface & Wet Tolerant) anti-corrosion primer can be used not only on cut edge corrosion, but on the entire roof sheet to provide unrivalled surface protection in the most extreme conditions.
When installed onto vertical cladding, Metalseal 20 also provides permanent anti-graffiti protection, since adhesives, paints and stickers will not adhere to the surface.
Should the metal cladding be attacked, paint can be washed off easily using a little soap and water, leaving the coated surface ghost-free.
