Product Information

Full details

The Everbuild Liquid Roof in Grey is a fast-curing, polyurethane-based waterproofing liquid membrane designed for both flat and pitched roofs. It's ideal for homeowners and contractors undertaking new projects, extensions, or refurbishing existing leaky roofs, offering excellent adhesion to a wide range of porous and non-porous surfaces. A key benefit is its rapid, moisture-activated curing system that makes it rain-resistant in just 10 minutes, though proper substrate preparation is crucial for optimal performance.

FAQs

How long does it take for Everbuild Liquid Roof to become rain resistant?

Everbuild Liquid Roof is completely rain-resistant in just 10 minutes after application.

Can I apply this product in cold weather?

The product can cure in a range of weather conditions, but it is recommended to apply between 5°C and 30°C for optimal results. Very low temperatures may slow the curing process.

What surfaces is Everbuild Liquid Roof suitable for?

It adheres well to concrete, mortar, brick, stone, roof tiles, metals, wood, tiles, roofing felt, asphalt, and bituminous coatings (with reinforcement).

Do I need a catalyst for this product?

No, Everbuild Liquid Roof has a moisture-activated curing system, meaning it uses atmospheric moisture to cure and does not require a separate catalyst.

What is the weight of this product?

This specific product variant weighs 21 kg.

Should I use reinforcement with this product?

Reinforcement using a suitable fleece is mandatory when applying Liquid Roof on roofing felt, asphalt, and bituminous coatings. It is also recommended for areas subject to movement or stress.

How is Everbuild Liquid Roof applied?

It is applied in a two-coat system using a brush, roller, or squeegee, ensuring even coverage on the prepared substrate.

Troubleshooting

Product not curing or curing very slowly.

Ensure there is sufficient atmospheric moisture. Curing is dependent on moisture activation. Very dry conditions may slow the process. Check for extreme cold temperatures, which can also affect curing times.

Poor adhesion to the substrate.

The substrate may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. Porous substrates may require priming if they are excessively absorbent.

Bubbling or blistering during or after application.

This can occur if moisture is trapped within the substrate or if applied too thickly in one go. Ensure substrate is dry and apply in recommended thin, even coats. Avoid applying in temperatures below 5°C or above 30°C.

Surface remains tacky after application.

This can happen in very humid conditions or if the product is applied too thickly. Allow more time for curing. Ensure adequate ventilation if possible. In extreme cases, a light dusting of fine sand may help absorb tackiness once cured.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rapid rain resistance in just 10 minutes.
  • Strong adhesion to diverse building materials.
  • Effective in various weather conditions.
  • No catalyst required, simplifying application.
  • Suitable for both new builds and repairs.

Cons

  • Requires reinforcement on roofing felt, asphalt, and bituminous coatings.
  • Substrates must be in good condition (cracks sealed, joints sound).
  • Potential for softening of certain substrates (asphalt, bitumen) requiring reinforcement.
  • A two-coat application is necessary for full effectiveness.
  • Large quantity (21 kg) may be more than needed for small jobs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup & Application:

  1. Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose debris.
  2. Seal any cracks, joints, or holes with an appropriate sealant or filler. Ensure all timbers are suitable for exterior use.
  3. Apply the first coat of Everbuild Liquid Roof using a brush, roller, or squeegee. Ensure even coverage.
  4. For sensitive substrates like roofing felt, asphalt, or bituminous coatings, embed a suitable reinforcing fleece into the wet first coat.
  5. Allow the first coat to cure sufficiently (check manufacturer guidelines for recoat times, typically before it becomes tack-free).
  6. Apply the second coat, ensuring complete coverage and a uniform thickness.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for concrete, mortar, brick, stone, fibre cement, roof tiles, metals, wood, and tiles.
  • Can be used on roofing felt, asphalt, and bituminous coatings when a suitable reinforcing fleece is used.
  • Ideal for waterproofing underneath tiles bonded with adhesives on balconies and terraces.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Regularly inspect the roof for any signs of damage or wear.
  • Keep the surface clear of debris that could hold moisture or cause abrasion.
  • Minor repairs can be addressed by cleaning the area and applying additional Liquid Roof.
