Benefits of Ruvacryl Roof Paint

Applying a fresh coat of paint to your roof can transform an old, shabby-looking home into an absolute wonder. But aesthetics is not the only reason you should consider painting your roof; it will also keep it in pristine condition and address minor problems, such as rust and leaks.

There are limitless paint colours for the exterior of your home. Choosing the colour, however, is not the most important part of the process. You need to ensure that you prepare the area properly before applying any paint.

Preparation

• Clear all leaves and debris 
• Remove any flaking paint by scrubbing the roof with a wire brush or a high-pressure cleaner (if you have one)
• Scrub away any fungal or mould growth with an anti-bacterial surface steriliser, such as Ushevu
• Rinse the roof and allow it to dry before applying any paint 
• Apply a sealer, such as Acryseal, to the roof surface to ensure that any chalk left on the roof will not peel once the new paint is applied

Choose the best roof paint for the job

When choosing acrylic paint for your roof, you need to ensure that you use a quality product. Paintcor’s Ruvacryl Premium is perfect for all different surfaces, such as enamel, glass and various plastics. Here are the top benefits of Ruvacryl:

Offers protection from weather conditions

As the pinnacle of your home, roofs have to withstand harsh weather conditions, therefore, you need an acrylic roof paint that resists the effects of harmful UV sun rays and is extremely resilient to wind and rain.

Dirt resistant

Ruvacryl provides dirt pickup resistance, ensuring that the roof stays cleaner for longer. The paint is also resistant to alkali, mould, algae and acid rain.

Is available in different colours

Find the colour that best suits your home. Ruvacryl is available in a range of standard colours and can be applied to a variety of surfaces.

Does not get affected by ponded water

Many roof paints wear away after a while as a result of puddles forming on the roof. Ruvacryl is resistant to blisters, delamination and other issues related to being covered in water for a long period of time.

Is long-lasting

Ruvacryl lasts for over 10 years, meaning that you will not have to keep repainting your roof every couple of years to ensure that it stays clean and maintains its colour.
