Winter storms cause damage to homes. Roof maintenance is essential for poorly maintained roofs. The coating or sealing of a tile roof serves only one purpose — to make it look good. Tiles do not become ‘too porous’ and cause the roof to buckle or leak but it still important to carry out maintenance or service your roof.

“It is important to remember that insurance companies are now less likely to accept claims for storm damage where roofs have not been regularly maintained.”

If you are experiencing a leaky roof the most commons causes are:

• Cracked or broken tiles will make your roof more prone to leaking. With a large warehouse of second hand tiles, Permacoat replaces these tiles with a matching profile thus ensuring its exact fit.
• Tiles can be dislodged either by tradespersons or natural causes. Leaking is thereby caused as the displaced tiles do not interlock correctly.
• Ridge and Hip capping cement deteriorates and break away. If the capping is loose there is a possibility of becoming dislodged in heavy winds.
• Valley irons can become clogged with leaves and other debris. This causes water to overflow into other areas of the roof perhaps not designed to cope with an additional water load. The lips on the valley irons also flatten after time. This allows water to penetrate under the iron and possibly onto ceilings.
• Tile drainage or water channels blocked by moss, lichen or other dirt increases water volume and the possibility of overflow.
• Damaged or dislodged flashings around vents, chimneys, etc. may cause water to penetrate.
• Blocked gutters and downpipes may cause water to overflow into the eave cavity.
• Fretted tiles — this is a problem with clay tiles particularly when situated in close proximity to the coast or salt. The tiles fret or are eaten away from underneath. A trained specialist is best in this situation as the tiles, although they look strong from above, are weak particularly near the water channels and may collapse under tread.

Permacoat offers a range of contemporary and traditional colours to suit a variety of architectural styles from our colour palette, including your favourite Colorbond® colours.

Cool Smart Technology™

Permacoat now offers a range of alternative Cool Smart Technology™ tint formulations which have been specifically developed to reduce the exterior surface temperature of your home. This technology helps minimise the energy needed to maintain your home at a comfortable temperature in warmer weather and can reduce outdoor surface temperatures by up to 5°C.

Temperature reduction varies depending on the colour chosen, and is in comparison to the same colour tinted to the standard tint formulation. Dark colours show the biggest difference in surface temperature. However, lighter colours will give best heat reflection.

Recent investigation by the Australian and New Zealand Standards (AS/NZS 2311:2000) has resulted in the following findings in respect to the sealing and coating of tiled roofs. Its recommendation stated that:

“Where a surface has become dull, chalky, porous or otherwise weathered, one coat of solvent-based primer or sealer should be applied.”

There are two types of solvent sealer available. The first has short oil and the second has long oil:

• The short oil is low-priced and has a drying time of 2 hours.
• The long oil is expensive and penetrates deep into the surface. With a drying or curing period of 48 hours this type of product gives a far superior foundation for the application of the topcoats.

With this in mind, Permacoat adheres to the Australian and New Zealand Standards recommendation by using the far superior long oil solvent-based binder sealer. Any Company not using the long oil sealer system cannot be equated with the Permacoat system.

As leaders in the roof restoration industry, Permacoat continuously keeps abreast of new technology and products, thus ensuring our confidence in offering clients our 20 year guarantee.
