Roof Tile Coat

Compared to other roof paints on the market, Roof Tile Coat is a high-quality, low-odour paint. It is a water-based 100% acrylic coating designed to seal and protect roof tiles against weathering and degeneration. Designed to ensure our roof paint offers damage resilience.

Light-fast and durable with a semi-matt finish, our roof tile paint reduces the porosity of the roof tile surface, limiting water penetration for reduced roof load when wet, and preventing the cracking of tiles caused by freeze-thaw cycles. It also inhibits the growth of moss and lichen on untreated roofs and binds loose friable surfaces, preventing the accumulation of sand in the gutters.

Reduces porosity causing freeze-thaw cracking of tiles and seals loose roofing materials. UV resistant and light fast our roof tile paint can withstand a pressure washer. It also inhibits the growth of moss and lichen and binds loose friable surfaces, preventing the accumulation of sand in the gutters. Roof tile coat is the perfect answer for giving a new look to an old roof and is used extensively in refurbishment projects to create a smart uniform appearance over old/new tile.

Typical uses

In addition to its protective properties described above, Roof Tile Coat is perfect for giving a newly painted roof effect to an old roof structure and is used extensively in renovation projects for both technical and aesthetic reasons. It provides a water-repellent surface and is ideal for creating a smart uniform appearance over an undesirable contrast of old and new roof tiles, such as on an extension or other roof space.

Suitable substrates

Our roof tile paint is formulated to adhere to porous surfaces, concrete and fibre cement exterior roof tiles, including clay roof tiles. It should not be used on painted surfaces or high-density/low-suction substrates such as glazed brick & tiles, engineering bricks and natural slate tiles.

Colour and packaging

Roof Tile Coat is available in a range of 7 bs colours, including battleship grey, light grey, and rustic red and is supplied in 15L drums.

Surface Preparation

Before applying the roof tile paint pressure wash the surface to clean it thoroughly. Ensure proper removal of stubborn moss or fungal growth with a stiff broom or wire brush if necessary. Treat any fungal residues with Polycote Destroy IT in accordance with the relevant Data Sheet. Replace any broken or missing tiles and re-cement ridge and bonnet tiles as necessary. Allow the roof tile paint to completely dry before coating.

Application

Roof Tile Coat may be applied by brush or spray. Two coats are recommended, allowing to dry between coats – see Drying Times. Airless spray – use nozzle size 15-21 and 135 bars pressure. Ensure the product is thoroughly mixed beforehand, ideally with a paddle mixer drill attachment. At lower ambient temperatures the product may require thinning with up to 5% of water if spray applied.

Drying and over coating time

Surface dry in 2-4 hours depending on temperature and porosity. If possible, the first coat of roof tile paint should be left to dry overnight before recoating, but the second coat may be applied 4-6 hours after the first coat is completely dry.

Application conditions

Apply the roof tile paint at temperatures above +5ºC. DO NOT apply if there is a likelihood of rain or frost within application and drying time.

Coverage

Theoretical coverage per 15L unit of Roof Tile Coat is approximately 37.5m², but this will vary depending on the texture, porosity, and undulation of the substrate.

Cleaning
