What makes rubbaroof different from other roofing materials


It is when you are either creating a new building or renovating an old one that you normally think of roofing and the various materials required for it. Roofing has various purposes including protecting the building and its inhabitants from the elements like rain, snow, sun and wind, providing insulation for the building and in case of the new solar roofs, even generating electricity. Though these are some of the common purposes of any roof, its efficiency depends on the type of roofing material used to make it.

 

Roofing industry is rich in the variety of materials that are used to create the covering above your head. Some of the common roofing materials are slates, asphalt shingles, bitumen, metals, tiles, etc. Though each of them brings you advantages of different kinds, they also carry inherent flaws in them as well. The rubbaroof material from Liquid Polymers provides a solution to all these common but not entirely flawless roofing materials. Rubbaroof is highly flexible, user friendly and performance guaranteed roof coating.

 

Let’s have a look at the features of some of the common roofing materials used. For example, for asphalt shingles, though they are produced in a variety of styles and colours and are available at affordable costing, they are not very resistant to wind and are more susceptible to mildew and moss. Nor are they very environmentally friendly either. However, in the case of rubbaroof, this roofing material provides far greater flexibility and is provided as a liquid that can be applied to any roof. As the name implies it is made from rubber which makes it highly waterproof. You can put an end to all your worries about water leakage with rubbaroof.

 

Another common roofing material is metal roofing that is more expensive to be installed and is prone to wind damage. It is also easily scratched and dented. And as far as bitumen based roofing is concerned it has the advantage of being available in many colours and styles and is also fire resistant. However, the down side is that it cannot be applied on a flat roof as there will be only a single layer and when it rains water drops in through even the smallest gap. A major factor that makes rubbaroof stand apart from other roofing materials is that it provides an excellent roofing solution for many types of buildings like balconies, garden sheds, summer houses, etc. It is also highly appropriate for covering tanks, gutters and gullies.

 

A different set of problems occurs in the case of single ply roofing. It is made in multiple layers but is lightweight and thin. For the same reason it needs an additional protective surface to toughen the roof and make it strong enough to carry the weight of anyone that needs to carry out maintenance work on the property.

 

In conclusion it can be seen that none of these roofing materials serves all the purposes you want from a roof. Rubbaroof, however, is extremely user friendly and has minimal risks, as it does not contain any carcinogenic tar derivatives or require any prior heating before application. It is provided with a suitable hairless roller, rubber squeegee and airless spray thus making it easy to apply immediately. And as it can be applied directly on any roof, it saves a lot of money, effort and time.

 

Living in the UK we all know that we are prone to constant weather changes and extremities. Rubbaroof provides you with the guarantee of withstanding the severest climatic conditions for a period extending to over 30 years. This roofing material is also resistant to corrosion and ultraviolet rays. It can be over coated with different colours of paint so will provide you with the finish you require. An ideal solution for any low-pitched and flat roof, rubbaroof is the perfect roofing material for commercial, domestic, industrial and agricultural properties.
