About the guaranteeOne system, three jobs
Far more than a patch. The same resin scales from an emergency repair to a complete new surface.
Most liquid coatings fix a leak and stop there. Overcoat is engineered to carry the full job, so the same tin handles the small stuff and the whole roof alike, on almost any substrate.
Stop the leak
Seal cracks, splits, gutters, valleys, joints and seams. Touch-dry and watertight fast, with no primer needed in most cases.
Extend the life
Recover a tired but sound roof with a continuous, UV-stable membrane, applied straight over the existing surface with no strip-out.
Waterproof the whole roof
Coat entire roofs across mixed substrates, new or existing, in one consistent system with eFlex movement tolerance built in.
Where it works
Almost any surface. From felt and asphalt to metal, asbestos and timber.
Overcoat bonds to virtually any roofing substrate. Some need a quick coat of Base Primer first, many need nothing at all. Browse the surfaces to see how each one goes on.
