Liquid Roofing Kits Now Available

PermaRoof UK is delighted to announce the launch of our P100 liquid roofing kits, now available to buy online. Flexible, fast curing and straightforward to apply, our innovative liquid PU solution is ideal for DIY and trade domestic roofing projects.

Versatile liquid membrane rising in popularity for residential roofing

Liquid roofing has been popular within the commercial roofing sector for some time, to handle complex flat roofing systems where rubber membranes are difficult or impossible to install. Now developed with residential roofing in mind, we’re bringing versatility to the UK’s homeowners too.
 
Already rising in popularity across the domestic sector, our liquid roofing kits have been launched to suit a wider range of projects and to simplify quantifying and ordering for homeowners.

Why choose liquid roofing?

Liquid roofing, sometimes called liquid rubber roofing, is a high performance, PU-based solution that contains a self-levelling compound to avoid overworking. Applied to a prepared and primed surface, it cures to form a flexible, membrane-like finish that encapsulates the roof substrate seamlessly. 

PermaRoof’s P100 liquid roofing is applied in a single coat with a roller and incorporates matting to strengthen and form the final ‘membrane’. This enables the installer to reach the parts of complex roofing systems where membrane cannot reach, such as in systems with multiple extrusions or of complicated design.
 
Some of the biggest benefits include:

• Suitable for almost any substrate
• Reaches where membrane is difficult or impossible to install
• Easily create anti-slip surfaces
• Cold-applied with a roller
• Flexible and durable
• Long term waterproofing
• Ideal for eco-roofing base layers – green, blue and brown roofs
• Resistant to rain within 30 minutes

Because liquid roofing kits can be installed over almost any prepared substrate, they can simplify difficult projects like never before, sealing and protecting concrete or metal roofing systems in a single, even coating.

FAQs about liquid roofing kits

What tools do you need to install a liquid roof?

• An Electric drill with mixer attachment will make mixing faster and easier (mixer paddle included)
• Rollers - it is recommended that you use a high quality 9” roller for main area application (2 x rollers and frames included). You may wish to purchase an additional, smaller 4” roller for detailing (sold separately)
• Sharp scissors - to cut and trim bandage

It is also recommended that you protect fascia and soffits, gutters and any other visible trim from potential drips or runs. Cover these with masking paper to simplify cleaning following application of the roofing system.

Is liquid roofing suitable for DIY?

It is straightforward to apply P100 using a good quality paint roller and is suitable for a skilled and confident DIYer. The system involves the installation of a light matting or bandage, which strengthens the integrity of the project. A full installation guide can be found on our corporate website here.

Can you use P100 on a pitched roof?

Yes. The self-levelling element of P100 can be effectively countered with the addition of an innovative product (sold separately). Take a look at the installation guide to find out more about the application of P100 on pitched roofing or talk to the team about your project.

Can it be applied straight from the tin?

P100 requires thorough mixing before application to a well-prepared substrate. Preparation is key to the success of any project, and this is an important step to maximise the integrity of the installation. Please refer to the detailed preparation guidelines in the installation guide.

How does P100 make an anti-slip surface?

It is a straightforward process to create anti slip surfacing using the P100 system. A suitable anti slip medium is added, either during the mixing stages or hand-cast over the uncured surface. This is ideal for making safe garden steps and paths or creating nonslip car parking.
