Watco Roofite Reinforcing Scrim
- Lightwork of heavy-duty repairs
- Structural strength solutions
Watco Roofite Reinforcing Scrim strengthens specified roof repair details when used with a compatible Watco coating system. It can be cut to size and bedded into the coating to bridge suitable gaps, holes, splits and overlaps.
Use it as part of the repair system rather than as a waterproof layer on its own. The flexible sheet format makes it practical to prepare strips and patches for local roof details. It is available in two roll lengths, both with the same width, so you can match the amount of reinforcement to the job.
- Cut-to-size reinforcement for compatible roof repair systems.
- For bridging suitable holes and gaps before Roofite is applied.
- Choice of two roll lengths.
Surface Preparation
Inspect and prepare the roof according to the coating's technical sheet. Remove loose material and contamination and establish that the substrate is sound. Cut the scrim to suit the repair detail before applying the coating. Allow for any overlap and embedding requirements specified for the chosen system.
Technical Data
| Dimensions | 4m x 1.25m or 20m x 1.25m |
|---|---|
| Width | 1250mm |
| Nominal sheet area | 5m² or 25m² before cuts and overlaps |
| Use | Exterior, within a compatible roof coating system |
Coverage
The smaller roll provides 5m² of nominal sheet area and the larger roll 25m². These are material dimensions, not the finished waterproof coverage: cutting, overlaps and detailing reduce the usable area. Coating consumption must be calculated separately.
Directions for Use
- Apply a generous first coat of Roofite to the prepared repair detail, following its instructions.
- Immediately bed the cut scrim into the wet coating.
- Cover with a further coat using a stippling action, ensuring the reinforcement is properly embedded.
- Allow the complete system to dry under the coating manufacturer's specified conditions.
Limitations
Scrim is reinforcement, not a standalone waterproof membrane or structural patch. Follow the chosen coating system for compatibility, overlaps and curing. Do not assume it can bridge an unsupported or structurally unsound roof opening.
