Cement Roof Tiles
Restoring cement roof tiles can be a daunting task, but with the right tools and materials, it can be a relatively easy process. Cement roof tiles are a type of roofing material composed of a mix of cement, sand, and water. They are a popular choice for roofs because they are durable and long-lasting.
However, over time, cement roof tiles can become stained or cracked. When this happens, it is important to repair or replace the tiles to maintain the integrity of the roof.
Metal Roofs
Much like any other type of roofing, metal roofs will eventually need to be restored in order to maintain their integrity and protect your home. While metal roofs are known for their durability, they can still be damaged by severe weather, fallen tree limbs, and other debris. When it comes time to restore your metal roof, there are a few things to keep in mind in order to ensure a successful project.
One of the most important things to remember when restoring a metal roof is to use the proper type of paint. Most metal roofs are made of either aluminium or steel, and each type of metal will require a different type of paint. The team at Roofshield Townsville will discuss which paint is right for your roof to ensure durability and longevity.
Our Roof Restoration Process
STEP 1. CHANGE BROKEN TILES OR RE-SCREW (IF NECESSARY)
Cement Tiles:
Replace all cracked and broken tiles from the roof.
Metal Tiles:
Our team will re-screw any metal sheets where necessary, check flashing and replace any rust and damaged sheets.
STEP 2. PRESSURE CLEANING
Dirt, grime and fungi are removed from the tiles on the roof using 3500 psi water pressure, and all mess is cleaned up.
STEP 3. REPOINT OF ROOF
Flexible pointing is used to point ridge caps allowing for 17mm of movement before cracking. Rebedding is performed when necessary.
STEP 4. PRIMER COAT
Roofshield has developed 3 different forms of Sealer/Primer; it goes on milky white and dries clear. A Roofshield roof estimator will be able to advise you of which primer/sealer is required for your property's roof.
STEP 5. HAND PAINTING
All required hand-brushing components of your roof will be done by hand.
STEP 6. FIRST COLOUR COAT
The first colour coat of Roofshield membrane is then applied to the roof. The coating is applied by using an airless spray gun, therefore, guaranteeing no overspray.
STEP 7. FINAL COAT
The final coat of coloured protective membrane is applied to the roof. This ensures even coverage over the roof resulting in the best protection and appearance. We also added an extra coat on the nose of the tiles for added durability.
