Hi i have a very large asphalt roof .I would like to use GacoPro Sillicone Roof paint in white for solar protection ,is this available ! Thanks Fred

Unfortunately this product is temporarily unavailable at this time, we can offer the Cromar Hydrosil Silicone Roof Coating as an alternative silicone based roof coating but this is only available in grey.

hi i want to use this product GacoPro Roof Coating on a metal corrugated roof 5 metres x 5 metres ? will this product seal the overlaps be able to cover flash band and cope with expansion and shrinkage of the metal , would one coat be sufficient many thanks

Assuming the metal roof is bare metal, it is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet and primed with GacoFlex E5320 2-Part Epoxy Primer/Filler it can be used. Overlaps could be sealed with Gaco Liquid Roof Tape prior to application, then two coats of GacoPro Roof Coating should be applied. this is solar reflective so should aid with reducing thermal contraction and expansion, it is also remains flexible in varying temperatures.

I Have a felt roof which is painted over with reflecting paint. would this Gaco Pro paint cover this surface .the area is 150 sq feet how much do I require to cover this area. Thanks

This paint can be applied directly to many substrates and existing roof coatings, we would recommend testing for compatibility and adhesion prior to full applicaton on the painted roof. Assuming this goes well, the roof is clean, dry. sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet this could be used. For 2 coats of 150ft² you will require approximately 11.5ltr.

Are seagulls likely to damage the painted surface on a flat roof? We live by the sea and seagulls are often on the roof.

Assuming the coating is applied correctly as detailed in the Technical Data Sheet seagulls walking on the roof should be fine.

Will this product adhere to silicone six flex sealant?

We're not familiar with 'six flex' but GacoPro Roof Coating does adhere and can be applied over general silicone sealants.

Hi I need to address blowback under tiles for a shallow pitch shed roof. Considering stripping back the tiles and forming a draining 'box' section under the roof from additional vertical battens and drainage gaps in horizontal battens and then covering roof and battens with Gaco before reinstating tiles giving a waterproof under roof as well. Will Gaco go over the underlying roof (strand board or ply) with batten to roof seams sealed with roof tape successfully? Any primer needed and would liquid or fixed roof tape be needed?

GacoPro Roof Coating can be applied to plywood directly but we recommend 3 coats are applied instead of the usual 2.

Can this product be used as a final coating to provide a flexible and waterproof coat to protect the chimney crown which is a fine concrete made from pea gravel/sand/cement ( or is another product recommended). Thanks.

Yes this should be fine for this application assuming there are no high temperature considerations to take into account in this instance.

could you tell me how many litres of this product id need to cover q 150sqm flat roof

You would require 123 litres to apply the required 2 coats to 150m².

Hi is this available in the uk and if so are there any stockists in or around maidstone Kent .I see from your write up this product is suitable for covering old grp flat roofs once the old flacking paint has been scrapped off and the roof cleaned, then the product should stick to the old surface with out the use of a primmer is that correct ? How much Gaco wash & pro roof coating would I need for 22m2 (2 coats I understand )

This is available to purchase from ourselves either via our website or by phone on 0113 2455450. To apply the required 2 coats to 22m² you would need 21 litres of GacoPro Roof Coating. 1 x 3.8lt of GacoFlex GacoWash would be plenty for 22m² if required.

Is the Gaco pro roof coating suitable for a corrugated asbestos garage roof?

Yes, after cleaning (follow local guidelines), GacoPro Roof Coating can be applied directly to corrugated asbestos/fibre cement roof sheets.

Hi Which product can I use for cement flooring? Thanks

GacoPro Roof Coating is a roof paint, you can see all our floor paints HERE .

Hi I've had installed 3 layered felt on flat roof. Which product can I use to give the roof a longer life? Occasionally the roof will be walked on to clean first floor windows

For occasional foot traffic we would recommend Britannia Aquashield Aggregated Coating .

I am going to apply Gaco Pro Roof Coating to an old lead roof. Can you please advise the best preparation? Many thanks, Roger.

Preparation advice can be found in the product data sheet available to download from the 'Download' section on the product page.

Hi can this be walked on once cured?

Roofs coated in GacoPro Roof Coating that require areas to be walked on should have GacoFlex SF2036 WalkPad applied.

Is this coating FAA, AB or Ac rated for use on roofs within 6m of the boundary?

GacoPro Roof Coating is an American product and as such hasn't been tested to British Standards, however we can offer the Tor Elastaseal and Elastaseal Z systems which both have external fire exposure roof tests meeting "EXT. F.AA".

What coverage will a can do thanks.

Allowing for the 2 coats that should be applied a 3.8lt will cover 4m² and a 19lt will cover 20m².

I have a fiberglass roof about 22 years old. Should I start thinking about replacing roof or should I paint it with solar reflective paint? Thanks Dave

We can't advise on whether you need to replace your roof or not, you would need to refer to a local roofer for advice on that. However if the roof is found to be OK then GacoPro Roof Coating would be an excellent way of extending the life.

Hi, you state that the white can reflect 85% of the sun's rays but can you tell me what the grey will reflect. Thanks.

We do not have any reflectivity factors for the grey, but the darker the colour, the more heat it will absorb wh ich means that grey would be a lot better than black felt etc, but the white would ultimately be the most reflective.

Can it be used: 1)over existing aluminium painted bitumen roof 2) over Flag Roofix (single pack elastomeric acrylic based (non bitumastic) compound) cheers

GacoPro Roof Coating is suitable for use over both scenarios you have explained after adequate preparation (clean & dry).

Does it need more than one coat and how often do you recommend repainting

In most instances 2 coats are all that is required and the life expectancy of the system is 20 years to first maintenance. See the product information supplied on our website and in the 'DATASHEETS' tab for this product.

Does GacoPro Roof Coating adhere to lead and epdm?

Yes, GacoPro Roof Coating can be applied directly to EPDM and Lead without the need of a primer after cleaning.

Can GacoPro Roof Coating be over painted?

No, due to the silicone technology the product is based on it can only be over coated with further coats of GacoPro Roof Coating.

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Colour reproduction of the Products on the Site is limited by the technology used to deliver web pages and by the colour representation of Customer’s own monitor and computer set-up. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our Products but we cannot guarantee that the colour shown on Customer’s monitor’s display will accurately reflect the colour of the Product on delivery. We recommend that Customer first purchases the smallest Product available or access an industry standard colour chart in person (and not digitally) to ensure that the colour is acceptable for its purposes.
