Polymer Roof Levelling Compounds

Roofs are not designed to hold a large weight of water, so any pooling or  'ponding' water that does not drain away from a flat roof within 48 hours indicates a serious problem. Ponding can damage a roof's structural integrity, resulting in expensive repairs and potentially invalidating warranties.

Self-levelling compounds work by filling dips and restoring the original taper of the roof, allowing proper drainage once more. The polymer system offers unprecedented flexibility however, enabling many variations of this depending on your roof. The system uses a combination of liquid polyurethane, a targeted primer, geo-textiles if they are appropriate fror your roof, and can be applied as is (which is self-levelling) or with the self-levelling thixotrophic additive removed. These are applied as a single component via a roller or an airless spray, and no reinforcement layer is required. The compound is fully cured within 24 hours but if required a further additive can be included to speed this process even more.

The product is:

• FULLY waterproof (it can be in contact with water permanently e.g. for turf/green roofing) but allows for vapour diffusion
• Safe to walk on
• Jointless and seamless
• Highly elastic - 400-600% elongation, meaning fissures are easily bridged and subsequent structural movement, expansion and contraction, are all easily absorbed
• Highly resistant to chemical agents such as cleaning products (i.e. does not absorb and is not compromised by chemicals)
• Temperature resistant - retaining elastomeric characteristics from -50C to +100C
• Resistant to impact, abrasions, and microorganisms
• Excellent adhesion to almost any substrate

Certifications:

• BBA Approved - Currently certified for 10 years, but lasts longer than this, so we're in the process of updating to 25 year certificate
• 25 year European Technical Approval - (ETA no 06/0263)
• Applus certification for both contact with potable water and root perforation (so it's also suitable for green roof application)

ALL OF THIS AND:

• We work UK-wide - including the Highlands and Islands, and even some parts of Western Europe.
• We can reach most "Hard-to-access" roofs
• No long waiting lists or weeks of work - the system is rapid-applied and we can get to most roofs quickly
• The polymer system is affordable, flexible and long-lasting - guaranteed!
