Extreme Paints Roof Tile Paint & Sealer for Concrete & Clay Tiles 5.0 kg

Q: What types of roof tiles can this paint be used on?

It is designed for porous surfaces such as concrete roof tiles, clay tiles (excluding delicate rosemary types), fibre-cement sheets, artificial slate, and sound masonry parapets.

Q: Does the product need a primer before application?

No primer is required. The advanced acrylic formula penetrates and bonds directly to porous tiles, ensuring strong adhesion and long-lasting protection.

Q: How many coats are recommended for best results?

Two thin coats are recommended to achieve full waterproofing, vibrant colour depth, and a uniform satin finish that resists cracking and fading.

Q: How quickly does it dry between coats?

At around 18 °C, the first coat is typically touch-dry within 2–4 hours and ready for recoating within the same timeframe, allowing most roofs to be completed in a single day.

Q: Is the coating fully waterproof once dry?

The coating is intended to help protect compatible roof tiles against weathering. It is not a repair for leaks, broken tiles or structural defects, and should not be treated as a substitute for a roofing waterproofing system.

Q: Will it help prevent moss and algae regrowth?

By sealing micropores and reducing water absorption, the coating creates a surface that discourages moss, algae, and lichen from re-establishing.

Q: Is it UV-stable to resist colour fading?

The paint is engineered with UV absorbers that lock in colour and protect against sun bleaching, keeping roofs looking fresh for years.

Q: Can it be applied with a sprayer as well as a brush or roller?

Yes, it can be applied by brush, medium-nap roller, or airless sprayer. For spraying, you may dilute up to 5% with clean water for smoother flow if needed.

Q: What is the average coverage per litre?

Coverage is typically 4–6 m² per litre per coat, depending on tile texture and porosity. Ordering enough paint in one batch ensures colour consistency across the roof.

Roof Work Safety

Paint drying or curing does not make a roof safe to walk on. Treat roofs as fragile unless a competent person has confirmed otherwise; arrange suitable access and fall protection before any work. See HSE guidance on fragile roofs. If asbestos is present or suspected, stop and obtain competent advice on assessment, preparation and coating suitability. The general preparation instructions on this page do not apply to asbestos-containing materials.

Suitable Substrates

Concrete roof tiles: Durable and commonly used for residential roofing, providing longevity and strength.
Clay roof tiles (except delicate rosemary type): Traditional, natural clay tiles known for their aesthetic appeal and weather resistance, excluding the fragile rosemary variety.
Fibre-cement sheets: Versatile building material made from a mix of cement and fibre, suitable for roofing and siding.
Artificial slate: Confirm compatibility with the specific artificial-slate material before coating.
Sound masonry parapets: Structural elements that provide safety and aesthetic value at roof edges, designed to be solid and stable.

Not suitable for plastic, composite, or resin-bonded synthetic tiles: These materials are incompatible due to weight, bonding, or structural issues.

Coverage & Spread Rate

4–6 m² per litre per coat (depends on tile porosity and texture).
Two coats recommended for optimum protection, colour depth, and uniform finish.

Drying & Curing Times (@ 18 °C)

Touch dry: 2–4 hours
Recoat window: 2–4 hours
Rain-safe: after 4 hours
Roof access: Paint drying or curing does not make a roof safe to walk on. Treat roofs as fragile unless a competent person has confirmed otherwise; arrange suitable access and fall protection before any work.

Finish & Appearance

Satin finish that restores colour vibrancy and protects tiles
Flexible film resists cracks, flaking, and blistering.
UV-stable for long-term fade resistance

Storage & Clean-Up

Store sealed between 5–30 °C, away from direct sunlight or frost
Reseal tins firmly between uses.
Clean brushes, rollers, and spray gear with warm, soapy water before the paint dries

Thinners

Ready to use. If spraying, it may be diluted with up to 5% clean water (not generally recommended as it reduces film build).

Batch & Packaging Notice

To ensure consistent colour, always order the total required volume in one batch. During peak demand, products may be shipped in plain tins with correct labels for performance and formula remain unchanged.

Extreme Paints Roof Tile Paint & Sealer is ideal for both domestic and commercial roofing projects where tired or weathered tiles require a durable, colour-restoring, and waterproof finish. Common applications include:

Concrete roof tiles: restores faded colour, seals porosity, and prevents moisture ingress.
Clay roof tiles (excluding delicate rosemary type): refreshes appearance and provides a long-lasting waterproof coating.
Confirmed non-asbestos fibre-cement sheets: anchors securely, reducing dusting and improving protection.
Artificial slate & parapet masonry: enhances aesthetics while sealing against rain penetration.
Outbuildings & garages: extend roof life and reduce moss and algae growth.

This roof tile paint is widely used by roofing contractors, property managers, landlords, and homeowners looking for a cost-effective roof renovation without the expense of full replacement.

Application Instructions

1. Surface Preparation

Biocidal cleaning: Treat the roof with a biocidal wash to kill moss, algae, and lichens.
Cleaning: For confirmed non-asbestos compatible tiles, use a cleaning method approved for the tile type. These general instructions do not apply to asbestos-containing materials.
Drying: Allow the roof to dry fully (minimum 24–48 hours).
Repairs: Replace broken or cracked tiles, and repoint mortar along ridges if needed. Ensure the surface is sound and dust-free before painting.

2. Mixing

Stir the paint for two minutes using a paddle mixer to ensure pigments are reincorporated and consistency is achieved. Pour the paint into trays or spray units. Thinning is only necessary if required for spray application.

3. First Coat

Apply by brush, medium-nap roller, or airless sprayer, starting from the ridge and working downward to prevent overspray onto cleaned areas.
Keep coverage even and thin to allow proper penetration and bonding.

4. Second Coat

Once the first coat is touch-dry (typically 2–4 hours at 18 °C), apply a second coat at right angles to the first.
Two thin coats will achieve ~50 µm DFT (dry film thickness), ensuring long-term waterproofing and UV stability.

5. Curing & Reopening

Protect coated surfaces from rain for at least 4 hours.
Paint drying or curing does not make a roof safe to walk on. Treat roofs as fragile unless a competent person has confirmed otherwise; arrange suitable access and fall protection before any work.
Full waterproof performance and chemical resistance are achieved after 7 days.

6. Pro Tips for Best Results

Avoid application during frost, heavy dew, or direct intense sunlight.
Mask off windows, gutters, and glass to prevent overspray.
Work systematically across roof pitches to maintain uniform colour.
Always order the full paint volume in one batch to ensure shade consistency.

7. Clean-Up

Wash rollers, brushes, and spray equipment with warm, soapy water before the coating dries.
Dispose of waste responsibly in line with local environmental regulations.

How long before the roof can be walked on after painting?

Paint drying or curing does not make a roof safe to walk on. Treat roofs as fragile unless a competent person has confirmed otherwise; arrange suitable access and fall protection before any work. The stated full cure is approximately 7 days; this is a coating cure time, not roof-access approval.

Can it be used on asbestos cement sheets?

Do not assume suitability or use the general cleaning instructions on asbestos-containing materials. Stop and obtain competent asbestos advice and product-specific confirmation before any work.

Is this paint suitable for use in cold or damp conditions?

It should be applied in dry weather with temperatures above 5 °C. Avoid heavy dew, frost, or direct strong sunlight during application for best results.

How should the roof be prepared before painting?

First arrange safe access and establish the roof material and condition. For confirmed non-asbestos, compatible tiles, remove contamination using a method approved for that tile and let the surface dry fully. Do not use the general preparation method on asbestos-containing materials.
