Metal Roof Restoration Steps
Before
You've invested a great deal of time and money in your business, including
valuable inventory and equipment. Metal roofs are frequently specified
because they are lightweight, durable, and relatively easy and inexpensive to
install.
However, they have one major weakness. Leaks often develop along the
seams, around the skylights, penetrations and fasteners due to rust, corrosion, deterioration of fastener
gaskets, poor joint design, structural settling, movement from thermal shock or
wind.
Leaks can damage more than just the contents of buildings. They can
weaken walls and ceilings, ruin insulation, causing your heating and cooling
costs to soar.
Rust Off
The
success of a coating system is only as good as the surface preparation.
We use a special product called Rust Off that is
used prior to pressure-washing (minimum 3000 psi) to neutralize the rust.
Pressure Wash
Slow detailed pressure washing with minimum
3000 psi is very important to good adhesion.
Metal Ready Primer
Our
Metal Ready rust primer is formulated to penetrate through rust,
driving out air. One coat forms a strong, protective barrier that inhibits
rust from forming or spreading. It also acts as a stain block to keep rust
from bleeding through roof coatings.
Seal all seams
vertical and horizontal
There is no such thing as a leak-tight metal
roof system that does not include reinforcement in its coating at the seams and
penetrations. We use the
toughest and most flexible reinforcement on the market, Spunflex II.
Seal all
Penetrations
What good is an
elastomeric coating if the reinforcement cannot move with the coating.
Spunflex II reinforcement is a spun-woven polyester, not bonded. It has the most elongation
in the industry and as important it has memory. After being stretched, it
returns to its original shape.
Caulk Screws
Another step that separates our
Metal Roof System from the rest is the specially formulated caulk for
fasteners, called Kwik Kaulk Fastener Grade. It is as much
an adhesive as it is a sealant to keep the screws leak tight.

The 85% reflective white top coating provides a cool energy
saving roof.
