Choosing the right Roof Sealant for your Roofing needs

A roof is one of the most difficult structures in the house or commercial building. Every roof structure demands a different level of knowledge. Usually before you waterproof the roof, you have to be aware of what you’re sealing in. Roof sealers do more than just fixing up pores or crack in the roof surface, they can also be used as a barrier to seal in surface impurities like dirt, wax, and natural oil and prevent them from leaking out of the wood and through finish.

A Roof sealant can be used for installation and maintenance of roof in different areas ranging from;

·         When installing a furring
·         At lap seams
·         At tough joints
·         Under a snow shield on a roof
·         Under ridgy planks and joints of a tent shape roof

Roof sealants are usually bright white, reflective, roofing solutions for roof which have some useful life left in them and are not yet ready to be torn off. Roof sealants like EPDM Liquid Rubber are capable of restoring old roof at a fraction of cost of new roof.

The advantage EPDM Rubber over other roofing materials is that, it does not crack, peel or become brittle over time and has been tested in sub Zero temperatures. These facts make EPDM Liquid Rubber an ideal roof sealant for flat roof structures both residential and commercial.

Some tips on sealing areas prone to leaking;

·         Caulk and seal air leaks where plumbing, ducting, or electrical wiring comes through walls, floors, and ceilings.

·         Look for dirty spots on your ceiling paint and which may indicate water leaks at interior wall/ceiling joints and wall/floor joists, and caulk them

·         Calk the gasket before installation. Use child safety plugs in occasional used outlets.

·         When installing a new electrical outlet, place it in a plastic container easily available from hardware stores. Caulk the penetration for the wire, and seal the new air and vapor barrier to the edge of the box.
