Q&A PAGE 2

Q7: How many coats can I apply in one day?: A: It is possible to apply three coats in one day providing the conditions in Q5 and Q6 are met. We generally recommend two coats as this gives the best chance of film formation in both summer and winter conditions. In both these cases the time frame suitable for coating is often quite narrow due to temperature and weather restraints.

Q8: How much product do I need?: A: Firstly you need to determine the roof area in square metres. Generally the size of the house in "squares" multiplied by ten (10), to convert roughly to square metres, multiplied by a factor of 1.3 to allow for eaves, hips, valleys, etc. is a good guide to roof area. Once this is established, the coating application level per pail as shown in Q3 will establish the amount of product required.

Q9: Can Primer, Sealer or Colour be mixed?: A: Tileguard Colour/AB and Sealer can be safely mixed. Ultra and Primer should not be mixed with either Sealer or Colour/AB, or each other.

Q10: Can I add water to your product?: A: We do not recommend the addition of water to any of our products, as this will lower the solids and give inferior coverage. It can also cause instability in the coating resulting in blocked spray gun filters.

Q11: Will the gloss be increased if I apply a clear coating over the colour coat?: A: The gloss level of our colour coatings is already high. Tests however have shown that applying an appropriate clear coat over the coating does extend gloss life.
Q12: Should I apply a glaze coat to Terracotta tiles?: A: We no longer recommend or will warranty any coating applied to any terracotta tile. This is because application conditions are far more critical than with cement tiles and can easily lead to problems such as loss of adhesion, peeling etc.
