Whether you have a flat roof or a low pitched roof, everyone
wants to have added protection for their roof. The last thing you want to have
is a roof leak. A leak can be damaging to the structure of the building as well
as your belongings inside of the building. The best thing is to have added
protection in the form of roof coating like EPDM Liquid Rubber.
The Application
Process
First you have to prep the roof surface and clean the roof
from dirt, debris and loose material. Cleaning the roof is essential otherwise
the coating will not adhere properly to the roof. You can apply Liquid Rubber
using a sprayer, just as you would with paint. This is good technique
especially if you have to coat a larger area of the roof. You can also apply
Liquid Rubber manually with rollers and even paintbrushes around tight areas,
just as you apply regular paint material.
How Many Coats?
With ordinary coatings you may have to apply multiple coats
but with Liquid Rubber one coat is enough most of the times and even without a
primer. The single coat will provide you enough coverage without adding
un-necessary weight to the roof. This will also help you to complete the
roofing project rapidly as you don’t have to wait for the initial coat to dry
and then apply the second coat.
Covid-19 Safety Alert: “Never ever
risk your health and safety. Strictly follow the protocols recommended by WHO
and CDC. If you are sick stay at home and follow the guidelines of your health
care professional.”
Do You Need to Work With a Professional?
One thing that concerns many people is whether one can apply
liquid rubber on your own or there is a need to hire professionals. If you have
the right tools and DIY inclination, you can surely apply Liquid Rubber on your
own by following the manufacturer’s instructions and safety guidelines. It will
take some time to have a steady hand but this is the route that most people
take and save considerable money.
However, if you don’t have the time or the DIY inclination
then it is always good to hire professionals. You can buy the material and let
the roofer to care of the installation.
Along with the benefit of protecting from rain, you can also
have multiple benefits by using Liquid Rubber such as controlling the building
temperature. The white coating of liquid rubber reflects the harmful UV-rays
and thus keeps the building cooler and if you live in areas whether is cold you
can use the black version of EPDM Liquid Rubber which absorbs sun light and
make the building warmer in cold weather.
