Metal Roof Coatings and Cut Edge Corrosion Repair

Over time, moisture and environmental pollutants infiltrate these vulnerable areas, leading to rust, delamination, and structural weakening. If left untreated, this damage can spread across the surface, causing leaks, insulation damage, and costly repairs.

The corrosion also poses a significant threat to the integrity and longevity of the building.

Regular inspection and timely maintenance are essential to prevent extensive damage and ensure the building remains weatherproof and structurally sound.

To stop and prevent any further damage to the cut edge, GLS Coatings recommends the following solution:

1. Cleaning the Area: Remove dirt, rust, and loose paint using a wire brush or pressure washer. The surface must be clean and dry before coating.
2. Treating the Rust: Apply a primer to any exposed or corroded metal to stop further rusting.
3. Sealing the Edge: Using our flexible sealant along the cut edge and overlaps to prevent water from getting in.
4. Apply our Specialist Protective Coating: Use a high-quality, corrosion-resistant coating system designed for metal surfaces. This usually includes a base coat and a top coat for long-term protection.

All of our work is completed quickly and with minimal disruption to your business.
