Project Details
The City of Richmond, British Columbia, had a significant dilemma as a 20-plus year metal building had developed numerous problems, including loose seams/fasteners, leaks, pinholes, and a high degree of rust. One option presented was to do a complete tear-off and disposal, which is disruptive and was going to be out of their budget. As the roof itself was structurally sound, an Inland Coatings sales representative, teamed up with a local contractor and formulated a plan of attack. The result was a 10-Year Warranted System that provided a substantial cost saving (under budget) to the City of Richmond.
With the scope of work provided, Cascade went to work in an easy 4-step process:
Step 1
Power wash roof and utilize wire brushing, as needed, to bring to tight rust finish. Before proceeding, the roof was free of dirt, debris and completely dry.
Step 2
Prep the surface area including sealing fasteners, addressing horizontal & vertical seams along with penetrations.
- Fasteners were sealed using RC2200 Seam Compound, Brush Grade.
- Horizontal seams, penetrations and ridge cap were 3-coursed using RC2200 Seam Compound and RPM-400 Polyester Mesh.
- Vertical seams were addressed using RC2200 Seam Compound, Spray Grade.
Step 3
Optimized Series Coating System: Once prep was completed, Inland’s RC2013-M corrosion resistant metal base-coat and RC2014-T Bright White top-coat were applied at 1.25 gallons per 100 square feet, respectively.
Step 4
Clean up with mineral spirits
