Description

Watco Roofite can avoid the need for costly re-roofing. A unique blend of bitumen, rubber and tough fibre reinforcement that instantly weatherproofs and refurbishes roofs even in pouring rain. Ideal for performing repairs to split, cracked, holed and porous asbestos, corrugated iron, concrete, tiled and felted roofs.

Part of the Watco Roofite range of products to repair, protect and waterproof roofs:

Watco Roofite Solar Reflective is a thick bitumen-based weatherproofer with aluminium flake added for extra solar reflective properties.

Watco Roofite Pour & Restore is a thicker but pourable product which can be squeegee applied, enabling large areas of flat roof to be coated quickly and easily. Leaves a thick waterproof, flexible coating.

Bridge holes and gaps before applying Watco Roofite with Watco Roofite Scrim. Can be cut to size.

Watco Fibreglass Reinforcing Tape strengthens and waterproofs joints and cracks. Used when additional reinforcement is required.

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]
