Surface Preparation
- Surfaces should preferably be as dry as possible - Emergency patch repairs can however be successfully completed to surfaces with running water
- Remove any loose material and dirt
- Very porous, dry surfaces should be primed with Watco Roofite/Roofite Solar Reflective diluted with 25% white spirit
- A wire brush should be used to remove all traces of moss etc.
- A fungicide may be required for heavily contaminated surfaces
- Specialist advice must be sought when dealing with old asbestos/cement roofs - please contact our Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] for details
Application
- The coating should be applied generously by brush at the rate of 1m² per kilo
- If a second coat is required it should be applied at right angles to the first coat
- Do not brush out to a thin film
- Cracks, splits, holes and leaks around roof sheet overlaps should be treated in the following manner:
- Apply a generous coat of Watco Roofite and immediately bed in a strip of Watco Roofite Scrim cut to a suitable size
- Apply a further coat of Watco Roofite over the scrim using a stippling action and leave to cure
- Deep pits and cracks in flat concrete roofs etc can be filled with a mortar consisting of Watco Roofite mixed with Roofite Sand Additive
- The surface should be primed first with Watco Roofite before trowelling in the Watco Roofite and additive mix
- In exceptional temperature conditions advice should be obtained
Limitations
- Roofite/Roofite Solar Reflective are not suitable for coating bare wooden substrates in order to form a waterproofing seal
- Entrapped moisture on porous surfaces may cause blistering in warm weather or spalling at low temperatures.
- Only limited emergency patch repairs should therefore be made to porous surfaces while wet.
- Not suitable for use on EPDM rubber roofs.
- Check compatibility with other surfaces if in doubt.
- In common with all bitumen based products, black Roofite will gradually weather to grey colour
- For flat roofs which will be regularly walked on, please refer to Anti Slip Liquid Roof Membrane
- Please contact us regarding applications not described here - contact our technical team for details on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected]
