Summer is here! This means no more worries about a leaky roof, right?
As you get the sunscreen out and plan for hours on the beach, do not let the hot, dry weather erase your memory of Cape Town’s stormy season that will hit again in a few months. Also, do not be ignorant of the havoc that the sun can wreak on your roof, which is fully exposed to the onslaught of UV rays.
Start planning to get your roof conditioned for the winter rains while protecting it against the sun. Duraflex Rubber Liquid offers comprehensive defence and is one of the most effective ways to safeguard your home and its contents against all the elements, four seasons of the year.

Using Summer to Prepare for Winter: Steps for Duraflex Roof Protection
Taking a proactive approach now will mean your home stays protected when the winter storms arrive. Here’s a guide to prepping your roof with Duraflex Rubber Liquid:
- Inspect the roof: Conduct a thorough assessment to find any cracks, loose tiles, or damaged areas. Addressing these issues first will set up a smooth surface for the coating.
- Clean the surface: Clear your roof of dirt, debris, or moss using a high-quality cleaner. Duraflex Wash-It is ideal, as it removes contaminants and prepares the surface for the best adhesion.
- Apply a primer: Use the correct primer based on your roof type for optimal results. For example, concrete or tiled roofs often benefit from a bonding liquid, while metal surfaces may need a solvent-based primer.
- Apply Duraflex Rubber Liquid: Using a roller, brush, or sprayer, apply a consistent layer of Duraflex to the roof. Multiple coats are usually recommended to ensure even coverage and long-lasting protection.
- Allow for curing: Ensure the coating cures thoroughly, following Duraflex’s guidelines for maximum durability.
