Preparation
Clear all areas of moss, lichen and debris by brushing or power washing and remove surface water and any contamination such as Oil or Grease and allow to dry. Apply Britannia Fungicidal Wash to prevent further fungal/algal growth.
Most roofing substrates to be treated will not normally require priming.
Concrete, Concrete and Asbestos Cladding, Sheeting and Guttering should be primed with Britannia Aquashield Primer (see separate technical sheet) prior to over coating with Britannia Aquashield Waterproof Roof Coating
Fibrous cement corrugated sheeting: two coats of Aquashield Primer must always be applied to this substrate
Metal Surfaces:
Including:
Ferrous-New, Weathered and previously painted galvanised iron and steel
Non-Ferrous Metals - Aluminium sheeting and Aluminium Alloy Box gutters and previously painted non-Ferrous Metals
All these areas should be suitably prepared and primed as appropriate (see separate technical sheet) before application of Britannia Aquashield Waterproof Roof Coating.
Non-porous substrates:
Slate, Polished bricks should be power washed abraded and completely dry, free from any contamination to achieve adhesion of the Britannia Aquashield Waterproof Roof Coating
Bitumen surfaces:
Discolouration may occur over a new asphalt, tar or bitumen surfaces; therefore an extra coat may be required, for decorative purposes only. Aged bitumen can be liable to crack, therefore further advice must be taken
Previously painted or coated substrates:
It is good practice to inspect and carry out adhesion tests on any existing coating or substrate prior to application of the coating
Splits, cracks, joints and seals, crazed areas:
Pay particular attention to clean out any splits/cracks/joints and seals by scraping or brushing off with a stiff bristle brush before applying the Britannia Aquashield Primer. Repair all faults in the surface by using a proprietary filler
Surface faults:
Repair all faults in the surface with either Britannia Reinforcing Scrim in the first of two coats or using a proprietary filler
In areas where excessive movement may occur, additional reinforcement must be incorporated into the coating.
Application
To the dry and cleaned surface, apply a generous coat of Britannia Aquashield Waterproof Roof Coating by brush or squeegee
As dictated by normal good painting practice. In confined spaces, provide adequate ventilation during the application and drying
