This rusty metal roof that leaked every time it rained is like many of the metal roofs that our Dealers deal with every day. Every Square inch of this roof was power-washed using over 3,000 pounds of pressure to ensure that the WeatherStar system would adhere to the metal. After power washing the RUST-PRIME 910 was applied to the entire roof area. The RUST-PRIME 910 is only necessary where visible rust is apparent and as you can see this roof definitely needed it.

After priming the roof, we begin the waterproofing stage. Every penetration, fastener, and seam is addressed to make sure they do not allow water to pass through the panels into your building. On this roof a polyester fabric was used with the ACRYLIC 210 on every seam and penetration. After each fastener was tightened or replaced, the BRUSH-GRADE 220 was applied to every one to ensure all are water-tight.

The final stage is to apply two coats of ACRYLIC 210 over the entire roof to form a seamless rubber-like membrane that will keep this building cool and dry for years to come. Other AWS top coats that work well on metal roofs include: BUTYL 310, URETHANE 520, or either one of the fast set coatings we offer.
