Protect and refresh your roof with professional roof coating systems from trusted brands including NuTech and Crommelin. Our range includes coatings and compatible primers for concrete tiles, terracotta, metal roofing and asbestos cement surfaces.

Roof coatings can help improve the appearance of an existing roof while providing a protective surface against weather exposure, UV radiation and moisture. The correct coating system depends on the roof substrate, existing coating and condition of the surface.

Roof Coatings for Tile & Masonry Surfaces

Concrete and terracotta roof tiles require suitable coatings that can adhere to the substrate and provide a durable exterior finish. Products such as NuTech Tileflex and NuFlex provide coating options for compatible tile and masonry surfaces, with a range of colours and finishes available.

Proper preparation is essential before coating. Roof surfaces should be cleaned and prepared in accordance with the relevant manufacturer's recommendations before applying primer or topcoat products.

Metal Roof Coatings

Weathered steel roofing, gutters and metal cladding require coatings specifically suited to metal substrates. NuTech Flexi-Shield is designed for suitable weathered metal surfaces, providing a protective coating while helping refresh the appearance of older roofing.

Where a primer is required, use the manufacturer's recommended metal primer and coating system to ensure compatibility and suitable adhesion.

Heat Reflective Roof Coatings

For projects where reducing heat absorption is an important consideration, NuTech NXT Cool Zone provides a heat-reflective roof coating option. It is designed to reflect solar energy and can be used on suitable roof surfaces in residential, commercial and industrial applications.

Heat-reflective coatings can be particularly useful for buildings where roof surface temperature and heat transfer are important considerations. Always refer to the product technical data for suitability, application requirements and performance information.

Asbestos Cement Roof Coating Systems

Older asbestos cement roofs require careful handling and appropriate preparation procedures. The Crommelin Fibroseal system combines a primer and topcoat designed specifically for suitable asbestos cement surfaces.

The primer is used to prepare the surface, while the flexible topcoat provides a protective coating. If working with asbestos-containing materials, always follow applicable Australian safety requirements and the manufacturer's instructions, and use appropriately qualified professionals where required.

Complete Roof Coating Systems

A successful roof coating project involves more than choosing a topcoat. Depending on the substrate and condition of the roof, the system may include cleaning, surface preparation, repairs, a suitable primer and one or more compatible topcoats.

• Identify the substrate: Determine whether the roof is concrete tile, terracotta, metal or asbestos cement.
• Prepare the surface: Clean and prepare the roof according to the manufacturer's requirements.
• Repair defects: Address suitable cracks, damaged areas and other surface issues before coating.
• Apply primer: Use the recommended primer where required for the substrate.
• Apply the roof coating: Apply the compatible topcoat in accordance with the manufacturer's technical data.

Choose the Right Roof Coating

The best roof coating depends on the existing roof material, surface condition, exposure and desired finish. If you are unsure which product or system is suitable, check the manufacturer's technical documentation or contact ProTrade Warehouse for assistance.
