Emerald Contracts of Ayr was asked to install this purpose made coating for metal roofs, Metalseal to an industrial building in Aberdeen.
The original plastisol finish was delaminating badly as the steel substrate was exposed to the weather and susceptible to corrosion, a problem exacerbated by its coastal location.
Cleaning the roof with high powered jet wash equipment, the existing finish was completely removed across large sections of the roof, leaving a bare galvanised substrate.
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, with 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.
Being silicone, our specially designed coating for metal roofs can be made to order in any colour at no extra cost.
This makes recoating to an original RAL colour, or even rebranding to corporate colours easier than ever – and we guarantee colour matches between batches, so there will be no patchiness.
The completed installation is covered by Liquasil’s 20 year product warranty.
