Steps in Preparing your Roof for the Metal Roof System
The preparations of the roof depends on the age of your metal roof. If you have bad metal that will need to be removed and replaced. Conklin's Rust-off is applied over the roof, which allows the system to bite into the metal.
Power Washing the Roof
The roof is cleaned with 3500-4000 psi pressure washer with A-turbo tip to get the metal roof clean. This will help the roof to be cleaned of any dirt or debris. As you do not want a bunch of dirt or debris left on your roof before the new roofing system is put down.
Prime with a Rust Inhibiting Metal Primer
Conklin's metal ready universal primer is a primer that cures to a durable, flexible finish. It will adhere to a properly prepared surface, and this will help rust from coming through. A one-coat application it is applied at a rate of 225 square feet per gallon.
Sealing all Horizontal and Vertical Seams with Tape
Seams on a metal roof tend to be the leaky areas both horizontal and vertically. The leaks are often found on pipes, skylights, fasteners and anywhere expansion and contraction has taken place.
All horizontal seams need to be sealed, using 6" Butyl tape. The top edge of the tape is sealed with Conklin's Kwik Kaulk to smooth out the transition for the water to cross over the tape. It is very important to tape the corners to add protection from water seeping in.
Your metal roof can get kinks in it, if someone steps on it wrong or some times a strong wind can open up the seams. Fasteners over time can become loose and will allow the seam to move. Which can break their seal and can tend to allow water in.
Because of those reasons, every seam on the roof gets sealed with a base coat and then the fabric allows the roof to essentially become a seamless roofing system. The Spunflex fabric should be placed above the seam, but below the fastener heads to eliminate tenting.
Sealing all Fastener Heads
Make sure that all of your fasteners are not loose. If they have become loose they will need to be re-fastened or you may have to replace them with a larger fastener. Make sure that your fasteners are properly installed, the rubber grommets are sometimes crushed to hard during installation so they do not seal properly, or they split from the suns UV rays and it drys them up overtime. Conklins Kwik Kaulk is made just for that purpose.
Putting on a Premium Top Coat
The roof is coated with one of Conklin's premium top coats to help protect it. This is applied at 1.9 gallons per square foot over the entire roof. This will give your roof a nice white, reflective finish that will help keep your roof looking good for years to come.
