{"product_id":"watco-roofsafe","title":"Watco Roofsafe","description":"\u003cp\u003eWatco Roofsafe is a flexible roof coating that combines weatherproofing with a finely textured, slip-resistant finish. It is designed for suitable roofs where occasional access is needed for inspection or maintenance, rather than areas with frequent pedestrian traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fibre-reinforced, solvent based acrylic forms a high build coating that can bridge suitable splits and cracks up to 2mm. Black and Mid Grey options allow maintenance routes to be identified while protecting the roof surface. It is also useful for specified local repairs where an immediately water-repellent coating is needed, although planned refurbishment should be carried out on a surface that is as dry as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle coat weatherproofing for compatible roofs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine textured surface for occasional maintenance access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible formulation with UV and fade resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSurface Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemove loose material, dirt and contamination. Treat moss or algae with a suitable fungicidal cleaner and prepare according to its instructions. Inspect the roof and repair defects outside the coating's scope.

The broad gutter examples must not be taken as approval for excluded plastics. For frequent roof traffic, use a system specifically designed for that duty. The coating may soften temporarily at extreme heat. Keep away from ignition sources, condition material at 15–25°C before use and protect from freezing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan people walk on Roofsafe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is intended for occasional maintenance access.
