I have had two coating of your product applied to my flat roof - three years apart but the surface flakes off, the second time after only three months. Please can advise if there is a known problem with your product being applied to a surface where water gathers (due to a dip in the roof) and where it remains covered in water for some period of time.

Thank you for your enquiry, we have contacted you directly via e-mail.

Dear Sirs Is this product fibre free and can I use it as a topcoat on glass fibre roof I have been recommended on the past but the Cromapol had fibre with it and made it difficult to apply, however I find that last long time. Reason I decided to do this was because the original glass fibre topcoat vanished away in certain areas, therefore I decided to do just that but the fibre mixed with the chromapol was pretty anoying. But on the indications in the literature of this article indicates that this is Cromar Cromapol Acrylic Roof Coating - Fiber Free Please let me know your recommendations Kind regards Joe Gomes

Assuming the fibreglass roof is clean, dry, sound, with any loose or flaking material removed and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet this product could be used.

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
