If you do go down this route, Sarnafil, Trocal or Alkorplan are all good systems with trained installers only... Use the the single ply membrane ourselves on most of our modular buildings and it’s good gear but like you say I’ve seen cheap stuff shrink by up to 2 inches. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paint it using marine grade gel coat if it offends the eye. Also, if you put on a thinner grade sheet on top of the 450g /m2 stuff it gives a smoother finish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marine gel coat stays soft I believe you have to put an additive with it or buy flow coat which already contains the additive, not an expert but have done a bit with fibre glass boats and I think that’s how it works 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PLEDGEY 493 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Use 'Roofix'. Pour more where you have water puddling. Quickest and cheapest option, especially if you plan an extension in the future. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t do same job twice, either do ye upstairs extension or redo the roof I won't be doing it this year so just wanted to treat before winter. Can I just paint it with one of the many tins of black stuff in bnq, if so which one, and do I need to spread grit on it after painting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it's not leaking and just holding a bit of water youd be making a fairly tidy looking roof look shit for no gains... If you do paint something on it, Acropol isn't bad as a temp/cheapish solution.... Will look shit though... A bit like fibreglass...lol Edited July 14, 2019 by NEWKID 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes product called sarnafell seen massive flat roofs done and it's only a few millimetres thick think it's Norwegian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, but if your going to fix it do it properly, easy fix,s in a tin from B and Pooh are just a waste of time and money, and designed to catch people gullible enough to believe that a pot of paint and an hours work will be job done, either fix it or don’t and if your planning on staying put, use one of the more longer lasting modern surfaces like fibre glass or rubberoid, if seeing a puddle on your porch is distressing you put another bag of gravel on it 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The reason it's on the shopping channel is that's where companies sell lots of their product fast, not because it's crap. Roofix is just one of the products that FLAG make.
