Water repellents and roof paints

To avoid receiving the sky on your head, maintaining and protecting your roof is essential! Tiles, slates,… are part of the technical aspect and the beauty of the roof. Taking care of it is a necessity to make your roof last and keep its beauty!

The primary function of a roof is to protect the interior of the house by isolating it from the weather, and therefore to guarantee the solidity of the building. A healthy roof is therefore essential to ensure the waterproofness of the roof, but it is also the one that undergoes climatic erosion (wind, rain, frost, etc.) and the deposit of organic matter which can even settle there. and proliferate there in the presence of moisture.

In order to guarantee the good health of the tiles and slates of a roof, it is therefore necessary to regularly clean them of their deposits and various inlays of organic materials with an anti-greening (see last press kit on the anti-greening '' Le Glouton '' '). Once the roof has been cleaned, it is important to ensure its waterproofness in order to slow down the harmful effects of the water (wear of the tiles, freezing / thawing, etc.). Today water repellents specially designed for roofs fulfill this role.

With this in mind, Oxi has developed a range of products dedicated to roofing. COLORED WATERPROOF and COLORLESS WATERPROOF are two very technical solutions to guarantee the longevity of roofs by protecting them from attack by water. At the same time ABSOLUTE ROOF PAINT protects roofs while giving them color.

Oxi: no water on the roof!

Once all of its residue, greenery and other deposits have been cleaned, the roof is ready to receive protection against water.

Why?

Because otherwise water may infiltrate the porous materials that make up the tiles and slates and then weaken the roof. In fact, when the tiles are soaked in water, it tends to stagnate, favoring the proliferation and adhesion of organic materials which are very unsightly and maintain permanent humidity. In addition, in winter, the water freezes and then thaws on the tiles or slates, accelerating their embrittlement.
