The Best Roof Protection from Cromar

It has been a wet and windy start to autumn and this is just the beginning, with much worse to come as this season progresses and gives way to winter in just a few short weeks. This means that it's time to batten down the hatches and make sure that properties are well protected: as the first line of defence, the roof is one of the most important parts of a property to protect. 

Here at Greengates Builders Merchant Accrington, we stock an extensive portfolio of roofing materials and protection and repair products. We are proud to supply a selection of roofing paints, adhesives, mastics and more from Cromar, a leading manufacturer of building chemicals.  

Cromar was founded over two decades ago in 1997. Since that time, the company has established and continues to build on an extremely impressive reputation for excellence, becoming one of the UK's most respected manufacturer of building chemicals. One of the brand's signature products is Cromapol, which is the subject of this edition of the Greengates blog. 

Cromapol, a product guaranteed to deliver reliable high performance, is an acrylic roof coating. Incorporated within the product are microscopic fibres which provide exceptional strength, reinforcing vulnerable or damaged roofs and protecting them against further attack from the elements. 

Using a standard brush, Cromapol can be quickly and easily applied to almost any type of roofing material, including asphalt, fibre cement sheeting, metal, lead and slate. Whether applied to pitched/flat roofs, gutters, flashing or roof lights, only one coat of Cromapol is required and there is no need to use a primer beforehand, saving precious time and effort. The formula can be applied in damp conditions without any negative effect on its adhesive qualities, resulting in an instant, impervious seal. 

Though the seal provided by Cromapol is entirely seamless, it is still flexible in order that the roof's natural thermal movements can be accommodated with affecting performance. When summer finally rolls back around, the inherent solar reflectivity of Cromapol will ensure minimal damage that can be caused to the roof by UV radiation. 

Available in grey or black colour options to suit different roofing materials and provide an attractive aesthetic, Cromapol acrylic roof coating is supplied by Greengates builders merchants in a range of pack sizes from the convenient 1kg to the highly cost-effective 20kg format for larger jobs.
