Greenwith metal roof restoration
Dulux Acratex® case study
The Acratex® difference
Metal roofs can begin to deteriorate over time by fading, corroding and developing rust patches. The Dulux Acratex® Roof Membrane protects all types of sheet metal roofs, including Colorbond®, galvanised iron, aluminium, Zincalume® and corrugated iron roofs, for both single-storey and double-storey homes.
A professional roofing applicator restored this Colorbond® metal roof in Greenwith, South Australia, using Dulux Acratex®.

Greenwith restoration step-by-step
Clean and treat
A large amount of dirt and debris had built up on the surface, which was removed by a pressure wash and a rust removing power tool, then specially treated with a rust-proof formulation designed to extend its life and prevent future damage.
Repairs
A number of screws and nails were missing and sheets of metal were damaged or loose. The roofing applicator replaced all loose metal sheets, and repaired damaged valley irons.
Prime, seal and coat
As this roof had been affected by rust, it was primed and sealed with a formulation designed specifically to treat rust and help stop future damage from occurring.
To complement the home’s exterior, the roof was finished in Slate Grey from the Dulux Acratex® Roofing colour range, and a double coating of Dulux Acratex® Roof Membrane was applied in a satin finish.
