Metal Roof Waterproofing/Cut Edge Corrosion

If your property’s roof is finished with metal cladding made from corrugated steel you may be at risk from the effects of cut edge corrosion.


Cut edge corrosion

Metal roof corrosion


Many people have never even heard of this condition, and fewer are aware that their building is suffering from its effects. Around 65% of buildings with metal cladding will have signs of cut edge corrosion.

Premature failure of metal cladding roofing systems is commonly caused by the cutting of the cladding to fit during installation, termed as “Cut Edge Corrosion", leaving the metal edge exposed to the elements for long periods of time, the result is in corrosion/rusting of the metal itself.

These areas can then be treated in eight step process

  • Step 1

    Cleaning

    1. Thoroughly clean off any moss, algae and grime from the surface using high pressure water jet.

  • Step 2

    Flak Paint Removal

    Mechanically remove flaking paint and rust depending on the severity of the problem.

  • Step 3

    Feathering

    Feather the edges of the peeling coating, so there are no ridges when the new layer is applied.

  • Step 4

    Re-Cleaning

    Clean the cladding again using a degreasing agent otherwise grime will prevent new coatings from sticking to surface.

  • Step 5

    Apply Coat

    Apply coat of Owatrol oil, high performance rust inhibitor.

  • Step 6

    Filling Gaps

    Fill in any large gaps between overlapping cladding panels using a gun to apply the sealant.

  • Step 7

    Prime

    Prime the treated area.

  • Step 8

    Liquid Waterproofing

    Apply coat of the liquid waterproofing system combined with mesh tape if needed.

Treating cut edge corrosion using this combination will prolong the life of the cladding and therefore the whole building.
