Over time, the roof of a home can become faded and damaged due to weather elements and exposure. Consistent maintenance using a quality roof membrane coating, such as Dulux Acra-Tex, can significantly reduce this weathering and the likelihood of damage to the roof surface.
One of the most important characteristics of a protective roof coating is its ability to expand and contract without breaking down or lifting off the roof surface.
Roof tiles move when heated and cooled, a process which occurs every day. If a coating does not match the movement, it will either split/crack or separate from the tile. In both cases, this failure will result in moisture entering the surface below the coating and the ultimate failure of the coating.
A fluid membrane, such as Dulux Acra-Tex membrane, clearly outperforms paint as it has greater thickness per coat and more “elasticity”. Another important characteristic of a membrane is its ability to “breath”, allowing water vapour to escape from the substrate without allowing water to penetrate the coating.
