Applications - Simulated Metal Finishes

A Cost Effective and Attractive Alternative

The high cost of metals in general has resulted in a marked increase in the thefts of lead, copper and zinc. Flashings from old and new buildings are being stolen and the lead roofs of churches, schools and other public and historic buildings are often stripped for their resale value.

Polyroof systems are the solution. Our range of BBA approved, cold liquid applied systems can replicate the look of metal sheeted roofing at a fraction of the weight and the price, and having no scrap value are not prone to vandalism. Attractive, tough and maintenance-free, Polyroof systems can be used on flat or pitched roofs and all forms of internal guttering.

The Polyroof 185 and Protec systems are used to simulate the look of metal roofs and gutters and the Elastex system is used to rejuvenate aged metal.

Polyroof 185 – New Build or Metal Replacement

Polyroof 185 lead roll finish is widely to reproduce the look of traditional lead but at lower cost and without the risk of theft. Typical applications include flat roofs, inclined roofs, dormers, porches, canopies and cladding. The system forms an extremely hard wearing and durable membrane and carries BBA approval and a 20 year insurance backed guarantee.

Protec – New Build or Metal Replacement

Protec provides a flexible and durable waterproofing membrane with a flat mat finish, making it the system of choice for many simulated metal applications. Protec is available with a 20 year insurance-backed guarantee and carries BBA and FM approval.

Elastex – Rejuvenating Aged Metal

Elastex is a highly flexible polyurethane overlay system ideal for over–coating aged metal roofs. It seals in laps and seams to make the roof completely watertight and eliminates the risk of vandalism or theft of the metal. Elastex forms an excellent bond with metal substrates and can be applied with the minimum of surface preparation. Elastex is approved by the BBA and flexible guarantees of up to 25 years are available dependent on substrate condition.
