Cleaning and impregnating. – Clean using “DAKSHAMPOO” cleaning products + impregnate with our permanent “TURBO IMPREGNEER” impregnating agent.

Benefits:

• Roof tiles become and remain dirt and water-repellent.
• No longer needs to be treated annually.
• The cheapest method in the long run.

Instruction:

• Pre-treat the surface with “ROOF SHAMPOO” products such as “QUICK CLEANER” or “ALGAE REMOVER” and rinse with a high-pressure cleaner.
• Impregnating with the permanent “TURBO IMPREGNATE”

Yes, you can with our "EcoThickener." You can use it to make it foam or even thicken it into a gel.

Benefits:

• Sticks to the roof.
• Doesn't run straight into the gutter.
• 75% fewer resources required.

Instruction:

• Add the “EcoThickener”.
• Spray the thickened agent with a pressure pump onto the roof. Or spray the agent with a foam lance onto the roof/facade.
• After a two-week exposure period, rinse with a high-pressure cleaner and impregnate or simply leave it and repeat annually.

Yes, it damages the substrate on a minuscule level, but if the intention is to impregnate it afterwards and therefore only do it once, that's a different story. It shouldn't be repeated constantly, because that will make the material more porous. However, it's much more damaging to let the dirt fester for years, corroding the substrate. Therefore, it's very beneficial to thoroughly clean and permanently impregnate the roof, facade, or patio once so it doesn't need to be pressure-washed again, ever again. Annual pressure cleaning should, of course, be avoided at all costs.

Things to note:

• Pre-treat with our cleaning products so that less water pressure is required.
• Using the correct pressure washer/lance/nozzle.
• Do not hold the nozzle too close.
• Do not focus on the same surface for too long.
• Spray diagonally from top to bottom.
• Avoid slots around skylights.
• Do not use a dirt cutter on facades/masonry.
• Determine the possibility of moisture penetration by inspecting the roof boarding. (Water under the roof tiles will dry up again by itself.)
• Using the correct technique.

Benefits:

• Damage caused by algae, moss and lichens is stopped immediately.
• Instant 100% clean result.
• Suitable for durable impregnation / coating.
• Makes defects in roof tiles visible so that they can be replaced/repaired.

Cons:

• Chance of one-time water under the roof tiles if the roof boarding or roof tiles are not waterproof. Water under the roof tiles usually dries up quickly. With good roof boarding, the water is drained into the gutter.

Yes, a clean result can be achieved, if necessary after several treatments. However, if there's excess moss, it can take several years because it can get stuck between the roof tiles.

Characteristics:

• On average, several treatments are required to clean the roof.
• Becomes optically clean but never clean down to the capillaries.
• Not clean enough to impregnate/coat.
• Must be re-treated every year to keep the roof clean.
• No chance of water under the roof tiles / leaks.
• Easier to perform than cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner.

Instruction:

• Apply roof shampoo products to the roof, such as “Quick Cleaner” or “Algae Remover.”
• Apply Eco Thickener Roof Shampoo to make the products sticky or thicker so that they stick to vertical and sloping surfaces and do not run straight down.

Yes, that's possible. Both glazed and unglazed roof tiles can be coated. We have a special bonding primer available for this in our webshop.

Treat the roof once a year with "Roof Shampoo Algae Remover" to keep it algae-free. This protocol also applies to new, similar roof tiles. If algae grows on a coating, it will damage it, whether it's new or coated.

• You calculate the height of the roof as follows: Measure the height of a roof tile from the 2nd row from the bottom. Count the number of roof tiles from the bottom to the top. As an example, the roof tile is 34 cm high and there are 16 roof tiles in height. The calculation is as follows: 0,34 x 16 = 5.44 m1. The height of the roof is 5.44 m1
• You calculate the length of the roof as follows: Measure the width of a roof tile from the 1st row from the bottom. Count the number of roof tiles from left to right. As an example, the roof tile is 30 cm wide and is 10.8 m1
• You can calculate the total roof surface as follows: 5.44 x 10.8 = 58.78

Generally, it takes more work, not less, to overcome these obstacles. When impregnating and coating, these obstacles require additional work and pose risks that must be taken. Therefore, we generally calculate the entire roof surface, including skylights, solar panels, and the like. Each situation must be assessed individually.
