Cold Applied Liquid Roofing

Cold applied liquid roofing systems have a proven track record going back over 50 years. It is a highly effective and versatile roofing solution that offers a seamless and durable protective layer for your roof.

Unlike traditional roofing methods that involve the use of heat or torches, cold applied liquid roofing systems are installed without the need for any open flames, reducing health and safety risks such as fire.

One of the key advantages of cold applied liquid roofing is its exceptional waterproofing capabilities. The liquid roofing material is typically a combination of polymer-modified bitumen and various reinforcing additives. When applied correctly, it forms a seamless membrane that tightly adheres to the roof substrate, creating a watertight barrier that protects your building from leaks and water damage.

The application process for cold applied liquid roofing is straightforward and efficient. First, the roof surface is thoroughly cleaned and prepared to ensure proper adhesion. Any existing cracks, holes, or damaged areas are repaired, and the surface is primed to enhance bonding. Next, the liquid roofing material is applied using brushes, rollers, or spray equipment, depending on the specific product and project requirements. Multiple layers may be applied to achieve the desired thickness and performance characteristics.

One of the significant advantages of cold applied liquid roofing is its versatility. It can be applied to various types of roof substrates, including concrete, metal, asphalt, and single-ply membranes, making it suitable for both new constructions and roof refurbishments. Additionally, cold applied liquid roofing can be used for flat roofs, pitched roofs, and even complex roof geometries, providing a seamless and durable solution regardless of the roof's shape or size.

This solution can be a highly economical option when there is no requirement to remove the existing roof. It offers exceptional flexibility and elongation, allowing it to accommodate building movement and thermal expansion without cracking or splitting. This flexibility also makes it highly resistant to UV radiation, weathering, and aging, ensuring long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance requirements.

Cold applied liquid roofing systems can also be installed to incorporate a bespoke insulation scheme adding the benefits of a thermal performance upgrade to your building. Various liquid systems are available with full labour and material backed guarantees ensuring that your roof remains watertight for up to 25 years.
