Liquid Plastic Roofing Installation in South Cave (26)

If you’re having issues with your roof, liquid plastic roofing may be the solution.

Applied as a liquid (usually made with polyurethane, natural bitumen or artificial polyester) this material coats your roof, creating a waterproof layer. This helps prevent leaks and weather damage.

There are a few different options to choose from when it comes to liquid plastic roofing. Below we’ve summarised three of the most popular choices:

• Polyurethane - An affordable and versatile option for liquid plastic roofing. Polyurethane has been used for over 30 years and can be odour free, perfect for use around children or unwell people.

• Bitumen - This material has been used for over 200 years for waterproofing. Bitumen is often used in construction as it’s easy to use and very durable. Bitumen liquid roofing can last more than 20 years with little maintenance.

• Polyester - Usually reinforced with fibreglass mat, polyester liquid roofing is available in a range of colours and finishes. It also cures quickly and is easy to apply.

Liquid plastic roofing has a variety of excellent benefits, making this a great option for enhancing your roof. The benefits include:

• Safety - Unlike asphalt or felt, liquid plastic roofing doesn't need to be heated up before use. This helps to reduce the risk of fires.

• Time - Liquid plastic roofing is designed to last. It can last up to 30 years when properly applied.

• Price - Liquid plastic roofing can be applied to certain areas of your roof rather than covering the entire surface. This is a cost effective solution to leaks.

• Application - This material is easy to apply even in difficult to access areas of your roof.

• No interruptions - Liquid plastic roofing can be easily applied without causing any interruptions to the homeowner.

Is liquid plastic waterproof?
