Silicone Roof Coating & Sealing
CaraCare uses a high-quality 100% silicone roof coating product to seal and protect the entire roof area of your motorhome, caravan or horse truck, creating a single waterproof membrane. This coating is ideal for fixing existing roof issues, such as leaks or pooling, and as a preventative action against leaks and further UV damage.
Silicone Roof Coating & Sealing Is An Ideal Solution For:
1. Leaking roofs on motorhomes, caravans and horse trucks.
2. Restoring older motorhomes and caravans at risk of leaking or with damaged roofs and/or seals.
3. Reducing heat inside your vehicle (our silicone is highly reflective/reflects the sun and UV).
4. Future-proofing vehicle rooftops and roof seals from water, UV and weather damage.
5. Roofs with pooling and ponding issues or damaged seams/seals and panel connections.
Our product can be applied to nearly all motorhome, caravan and horse truck roof types, including metals, fibreglass, aluminium, plastic, wood and EPDM.
Elongation and Colour:
Our silicone roof coating product has an elongation (stretch) factor of over 300+%, making it ideal for (moving) vehicles.
Our silicone product is applied in bright white as standard (for reflecting the sun/UV), but it can also be tinted/coloured grey on request.
Patching Damaged Areas/Holes:
We apply extra silicone (patches) to damaged areas such as holes, joints, and leaking seams. This heavy-duty silicone patch provides very fast and effective waterproofing. After patching any specific damaged areas, we commence the general application process.
The Process (Multiple Coats):
We thoroughly clean, dry, and prep the roof before masking around hatches/vents and the roof being sealed. Then, we apply the first coat of silicone and allow it to dry (generally overnight) before applying multiple coats (for extra durability and protection) the following day. We pay particular attention to high-risk leak areas, such as all joints, seams and connections (including rivets and screws).
The Outcome:
When completed, the outcome is one solid membrane (similar to a large rubber mat) that completely covers the roof area, providing years of weather (water and sun) protection for your vehicle. Not only does it patch/fix existing leaks, but it also protects against future roof leaks and damage. Roof cleaning becomes much easier as the silicone has high resistance to dirt and grime and does not stick well to the silicone making for easier cleaning.
We apply a single, solid waterproof membrane across the top of the motorhome or caravan to prevent water penetration. This also protects existing silicone from further damage.
Our sealing/coating process will hold water indefinitely and is ideal for addressing pooling on the roof, fixing existing leaks, or future-proofing your vehicle.
FAQ's:
Application Time: The entire process takes approximately 72 hours (i.e. we need the vehicle for at least 3 days).
I have Solar Panels: We remove, coat under, coat the holding brackets and then reattach the panels. It's also an ideal time to upgrade your solar system or panels, and we can also provide a quote to do this.
What About Roof Hatches & Vents?: We lip up around these, ensuring the single membrane includes these in the new roof structure.
What Is The Tenure of the Silicone: Silicone is a 'permanent' roof sealing/coating solution.
What is the Cost: Please call us or email us as we need to know vehicle type/size, information about existing leaks, number of solar panels, hatches, vents, etc., etc.
