Durieu presents its Absolue fixer and roof paint

When you look at the question of maintenance or the condition of your roof, it is often a little late... And for good reason: this position represents a serious investment in time and funding, hence the reflex of procrastination before really tackling it… This is also often why protective products that act in prevention are shunned! In summary, the roof we climb on when we have more choice… Wrong answer…

Some risks in case of non-maintenance for the roofs:

Once it is almost too late the tiles are very dirty, even clogged and even weakened by greenery and other pollution, the structure of the roof can then also suffer.

• Slates and tiles are porous materials and sensitive to climatic conditions: they accumulate everything that falls on them and are subject to rain, frost and UV...
• When they are worn out by water and UV rays, they no longer play their protective role, can be deformed, split, etc. resulting in pockets of humidity which will weaken the structure. Maintenance is therefore essential to avoid major renovations.

Insofar as a roof does not generally include any preventive protection, when one decides to maintain it it must be done correctly and this begins with cleaning then the application of a fixative or primer which will guarantee a good application and holding the finish. This can take the form of a technical painting that provides an effective solution to perpetuate the entire work.

Roof maintenance: instructions for use

1st step: cleaning

It is a question of ridding tiles and slates of their encrusted dirt and of all the hung pollution, it is then necessary to repair the deformed, damaged parts in order to guarantee a good sealing and finally to protect.

Please note: always clean from top to bottom to avoid getting moisture under the coating.

2nd step: protect

Oxi offers with ABSOLUTE ROOF FIXER and ABSOLUTE ROOF PAINTING, a 2-step protocol to durably perpetuate the roof:

• Why isn't a fixer reduced to work or an extra expense? Applied upstream, ABSOLUTE ROOF FIXATOR helps to consolidate the bottoms, especially when the tiles, slates, have become crumbly, fragile... It reinforces the existing material to allow it to last better and longer, it also gives it grip and adhesion. optimal for subsequent finishing.
• How? Very impregnating, it penetrates into porous, floured, disintegrated materials to then harden on the surface and thus strengthen the entire structure. The support is then very homogeneous and ready to receive a finish.

The advantages: its fixing power allows it to retain particles and dust. Its microporous finish lets materials breathe without blocking moisture.

Good to know: on all new roofs, it also allows a better grip of the finish.
