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. We can also coat and protect exisitng roof seals/seams for 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 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.
FAQ's:
Application Time: The entire process takes approximately 48 - 72 hours (we need the vehicle for 2-3 days).
I have Solar Panels: Typically we remove, coat under, coat the holding brackets and then reattach the panels. Its also an ideal time to upgrade your solar system or panels and we can also provide a quote.
What is the Cost: Please call us or email as we need to know vehicle type/size, information about exisiting leaks, number of solar panels, hatches, vents etc. etc.
Tenure of the Silicone: Silicone is a 'permanent' roof sealing/coating solution.
