Though the home is a place where we can live serenely and joyously with our near and dear ones but it is the roof that provides us shelter. So, if we want to protect our belongings and your family members, then it is mandatory that our roof should be in good condition throughout the year. As the most imperative structure in our house, our roof safeguards us from harsh and penal weather and simultaneously, also insulates our home from the hot and cold. So, as a homeowner, it would be our foremost responsibility to main and restore our roof (if required).
Roofing restoration is a process by which we can easily procure the roof of the house in such way that, all the existing damages are repaired precisely and by the end of this refurbishing process, our roof again regains its old glory and look. Though painting and cleaning of the roof can be done now and then, but the full restoration is an assiduous job and it requires time, labour, money and above all expertise guidance.
Below, we are mentioning some well-applauded and common type of restoration techniques.
- Concrete tile restoration : The first step of this process is we need to replace all broken tiles and simultaneously we need to clean the entire surface that has to be restored. The next step is re-bedding and ridge cap removal. Re-pointing of the ridge caps is done by using flexible polymer based pointing mortar. This step is followed by the application of a sealant (painter sealer) along with a primer coat for the entire roof. And finally, the contractors are applied which contain two acrylic coat layers. We can choose the colours depending on our individual taste and choice.
- Terracotta tile restoration : The first step of this process is the application of an effective mold killer (can kill dirt, moss, algae etc.) on the entire surface of the roof. In the next step, a pressure is applied to clean the surface. The next step consists of the removal of ridge caps and re-bedding. All the effective ridge caps are usually re-pointed by using a flexible polymer based pointing mortar. Next, a terracotta glaze (two coats) is applied on the entire roof surface. If we can satisfactorily finish the restoration work, then it will certainly last another twenty years.
- Other types of restoration : Apart from concrete and terracotta, we may choose galvanized iron and colour bond as roofing material. In this process, first, we need to remove rusts wherever they present. If there are many damaged sheets on the roof which cannot be remedied with anti-rust treatment, then we should replace them utterly. Once all the initial steps are completed, then the pressure cleaning of the entire area is done. In next step, a primer metal etch coating is applied on the entire area. Finally, we need to apply two or more acrylic coat layers in order to complete the process.
