Waterproof Your Roof for Autumn

Mon, 27/08/2018

Well the heatwave finally seems to have ended, and with it the rains are starting to arrive.

Britain is well known for its wet and stormy Autumns, so ensuring effective waterproofing on UK roofs is always of central importance to us, but this year seems to have kicked up particular issues. The long months of sunshine and soaring temperatures have caused a range of problems including cracking, splitting and thinning of less versatile roof coverings especially felt and bitumen and any roofs where cement or other pastes are used for integrity, for example to hold tiles in place.

The problem is that many modern roofing materials and sub-materials are unable to contract and expand to the degree necessary to cope with more extreme spells of weather, so when it's REALLY hot, REALLY windy, REALLY cold, or REALLY wet, quite simply, they can cope for a bit but not for very long.

This is one of many areas in which polymer roofing comes into its own - it's Jointless and Seamless (so no places for it to crack and leak), UV Proof, fireproof, possibly the most waterproof roofing material on the market, and exhibits excellent rates and leavels of contraction and expansion. Polymer roofing is also long lasting, cold-applied, less toxic, reuses spent polymer plastic particles (being one of the very few industries doing so), and comparatively very quick to install, meaning it is highly affordable despite its high specifications.
