Don't take chances with your roof in Australia's variable weather. Metals roofs versus the elements No matter if you live in a salt-air coastal environment, or an inland area with intense sun, your metal roof is going to face the wrath of the elements. From the sun beating down on the paint to the storms passing through and debris carried by the wind, the elements will cause your paint to lighten, the metal to corrode, and your roof to lose its new condition. If you're looking to restore an old roof with a much needed facelift, or are in need of an efficient and economical way to revamp the look of your Metal roof, roof painting using our Metal Roofing spray painting is the most cost effective way to restore the look of your property and bring your roof back to life.
Metal roof spray painting is not simply a cosmetic change, it is a repair that gives you a long and hardwearing finish. But before filling your lungs with paint fumes, there are a few key things every homeowner in Australia should consider. Knowing how to prepare, the reasons for doing it and selecting the right professionals for the job are the differences between a better-looking roof and one that remains sound for years to come.
This specialized treatment doesn't happen with normal brushes or rollers used for painting-by-hand and, instead, metal roof spray painting is performed with special equipment to ensure all of your coatings are placed on your roof in a uniform manner. This allows for a flawless, even coat on the surface which is integral when you are painting materials such as corrugated steel sheeting or colourbond roofing widely used in Australian homes. Not only does the spray method ensure a perfectly smooth end result, but it makes it difficult for water to seep into susceptible joints or seams.
The main benefit to metal roof painted with a metal roof coating is that as soon as it is applied, it changes the look of your home. Nothing will make a beautiful house look worse than a dingy roof. With the right paint and the correct application, your roof can be rejuvenated to almost like new appearance. Aside from the aesthetics, painting your metal roof can also protect it by preventing rust, repelling dirt, and reflecting UV rays. This extra layer ensures that heat absorption is minimized so that you can enjoy energy efficiency, particularly during our hot Australian summers.
Apart from visual appearance and protection repairing your roof with metal roofing painting is significantly less expensive than a roof replacement. Repainting your roof will extend the life and prevent you from having to spend thousands of dollars and disrupting your household with a full re-roof. It is the perfect solution for those homeowners that seek to preserve the value and functionality of their property without the big price tag.
Getting a roof ready for spray painting is more than choosing a colour and panting away. Professionals will inspect the roof, and repair any damage they find. This could mean tightening screws, stopping leaks or treating corrosion spots. After that, the pressure cleaning comes to play – removing years-old dirt, paint, or organic matter such as moss or lichen. The application of paint will be durable and contractor-quality, if the roof is completely cleaned and primed!
