Roofs
Your roof is the first line of defense against harsh weather conditions, from heavy rain and strong winds to extreme heat and UV exposure. Over time, roofs can develop leaks, cracks, rust, and other forms of deterioration, leading to costly repairs and potential structural damage. Proper waterproofing not only extends the lifespan of your roof but also prevents future issues that could compromise the integrity of your building.
At Liquid Rubber Coatings, we provide advanced waterproofing solutions for a variety of roof types, including metal roofs, concrete roofs, fridge panel roofs, and asbestos roofs. Our high-quality, non-toxic, eco-friendly, flexible, and UV-stable coatings create a seamless, protective barrier to safeguard your roof and ensure long-term durability.
Regardless of the material, every roof is susceptible to wear and tear over time. Without proper waterproofing, you risk:
✔ Leaks and Water Damage – Moisture infiltration can lead to internal water damage, mold growth, and weakened structures.
✔ Rust and Corrosion – Metal roofs, especially, are prone to rust, which weakens the material and accelerates deterioration.
✔ Cracks and Surface Deterioration – Concrete and asbestos roofs can develop cracks due to temperature fluctuations and exposure to the elements.
✔ Increased Maintenance Costs – Small issues left unaddressed can turn into major, costly repairs.
✔ Reduced Energy Efficiency – Unprotected roofs can contribute to heat loss or gain, increasing energy costs for heating and cooling.
Waterproofing is a proactive solution to prevent leaks, protect your building, and extend the lifespan of your roof—saving you time, money, and stress in the long run.
We specialize in high-performance liquid rubber waterproofing designed for a range of roof types:
Metal Roofs
Metal roofs are durable but can suffer from rust, corrosion, and leaks due to weather exposure and structural movement. Our seamless waterproofing system prevents rust, seals joints, and protects against water damage, extending the lifespan of your roof.
✔ Trim Deck Roofs – Common in commercial and industrial buildings, these require waterproofing to protect seams and fasteners.
✔ Clip Lock Roofs – Designed for low-pitch roofs but prone to water pooling and leaks if not properly sealed.
✔ Corrugated Roofs – A popular choice for residential, commercial, and rural structures that need protection from rust and leaks.
Concrete Roofs
Concrete roofs are strong but naturally porous, allowing water to seep in and cause cracks, leaks, and structural damage over time. Our waterproofing solutions seal and protect the surface, preventing moisture absorption while remaining flexible to accommodate structural movement.
Fridge Panel Roofs
Fridge panel (insulated panel) roofs are commonly used for cold storage, warehouses, and industrial buildings. If not properly waterproofed, the seams and joints can develop leaks, leading to insulation failure and costly repairs. Our system provides a seamless, watertight barrier to prevent water ingress and protect insulation.
Asbestos Roofs
Aging asbestos roofs can deteriorate, releasing hazardous fibers into the air. Our waterproofing solutions encapsulate asbestos, preventing fiber release while also sealing the surface to protect against leaks, corrosion, and further degradation.
Caravan & RV Roofs
Caravans and RVs are constantly exposed to the sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations, which can cause sealants to fail and leaks to develop. Our flexible, UV-stable coatings create a durable waterproof seal, ensuring your caravan roof stays protected in all weather conditions.
Shipping Container Roofs
Shipping containers are often repurposed for storage, homes, and office spaces, but their roofs can suffer from rust, corrosion, and leaks due to condensation and water pooling. Our waterproofing system prevents rust, seals joints, and enhances durability, making your container roof weatherproof and long-lasting.

Concrete roofs are known for their strength and durability, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial buildings. However, despite their solid construction, concrete is naturally porous, which means it can absorb water over time. Without proper waterproofing, moisture can seep into the surface, leading to cracks, leaks, and long-term structural damage.
Concrete is a durable material, but it has tiny capillaries that allow water to penetrate. Over time, this exposure to moisture can cause:
✔ Cracking & Surface Deterioration – Water absorption leads to expansion and contraction, causing cracks.
✔ Leaks & Water Damage – Moisture can seep into ceilings and walls, leading to costly interior damage.
✔ Mold & Mildew Growth – A damp roof creates an ideal environment for mold, which can cause health issues.
✔ Structural Weakening – Continuous water penetration can erode concrete, weakening the integrity of the structure.
✔ Increased Maintenance Costs – Repairs for water damage and cracks can become expensive over time.
A properly waterproofed concrete roof prevents these issues, ensuring your building remains strong, leak-free, and low maintenance.
Fridge panel roofs, also known as insulated panel roofs or cool room panels, are commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings, including cold storage facilities, warehouses, food processing plants, and temperature-controlled environments. These lightweight, high-performance roofing systems offer excellent insulation and energy efficiency, but if not properly waterproofed, they can develop leaks that compromise their structure and thermal performance.
At Liquid Rubber Coatings, we specialize in seamless, durable, and UV-stable waterproofing solutions to ensure your fridge panel roof remains leak-free, energy-efficient, and protected from environmental damage.
Although fridge panel roofs are designed to be weather-resistant, over time they can experience:
✔ Leaking Seams & Joints – The joins between panels are prone to leaks, which can lead to internal water damage.
✔ Insulation Breakdown – Moisture infiltration can degrade the insulation core, reducing thermal efficiency.
✔ Corrosion & Rust – Exposed fasteners and edges can rust, compromising structural integrity.
✔ Expansion & Contraction Issues – Temperature changes cause panels to expand and contract, leading to cracks and gaps.
✔ Mold & Bacterial Growth – Moist environments can lead to mold growth, which is especially problematic in food processing areas.
Waterproofing your fridge panel roof prevents leaks, extends its lifespan, and maintains optimal insulation performance, saving you from costly repairs and energy inefficiencies.
Metal roofs are a popular choice for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings due to their durability, weather resistance, and long lifespan. However, exposure to the elements over time can cause issues like rust, corrosion, leaks, and structural degradation. Without proper waterproofing, these problems can lead to costly repairs and a reduced roof lifespan.
At Liquid Rubber Coatings, we offer high-quality, non-toxic, eco-friendly, and UV-stable waterproofing solutions to protect your metal roof from leaks, rust, and the harsh Australian climate. Our advanced liquid rubber coatings create a flexible, seamless barrier that keeps your roof strong, weatherproof, and long-lasting.
Even the most durable metal roofs can suffer from wear and tear over time. Common issues include:
✔ Rust & Corrosion – Exposure to moisture and the environment causes metal to oxidize, leading to rust and weakening of the roof.
✔ Leaks at Joints & Fasteners – Seams, screws, and overlaps are vulnerable points where water can enter if not properly sealed.
✔ Thermal Expansion & Contraction – Temperature fluctuations cause metal to expand and contract, leading to cracks and gaps in the roof.
✔ UV & Weather Damage – Constant exposure to the sun and extreme weather weakens protective coatings and causes surface degradation.
✔ Pooling Water – On low-slope or flat metal roofs, standing water can lead to corrosion and increased risk of leaks.
Waterproofing your metal roof protects against these risks, ensuring long-term durability, fewer repairs, and extended roof life.
It’s best to waterproof your metal roof if you notice any of the following signs:
- Visible rust or corrosion spots
- Leaks or water stains on ceilings
- Loose or damaged fasteners
- Cracks or gaps at seams and overlaps
- Faded or worn protective coatings
Proactively waterproofing your roof prevents further damage, saves on repairs, and extends the life of your roof.
Asbestos roofs were commonly used in Australia for industrial, commercial, and residential buildings due to their durability and fire-resistant properties. However, as they age, asbestos materials can become brittle, crack, and release harmful fibers into the air, posing serious health risks. Rather than removing the roof – which can be costly and hazardous – waterproofing and encapsulating it is a safer and more cost-effective solution.
At Liquid Rubber Coatings, we specialize in non-toxic, eco-friendly, and UV-stable waterproofing solutions that effectively seal and protect asbestos roofs, preventing fiber release while stopping leaks, rust, and deterioration.
Aging asbestos roofs pose significant risks and challenges, including:
✔ Health Hazards – When asbestos deteriorates, it can release airborne fibers, which are dangerous if inhaled.
✔ Leaks & Water Damage – Cracks and porous areas allow water to penetrate, leading to structural damage and mold growth.
✔ Surface Degradation – Exposure to weather elements like UV rays, rain, and wind gradually wears down the surface.
✔ Costly & Hazardous Removal – Full asbestos roof removal requires strict handling procedures, making it expensive and complex.
✔ Legal & Compliance Issues – Improper handling of asbestos can lead to legal consequences and safety violations.
By encapsulating your asbestos roof with our liquid waterproofing membrane, you prevent fiber release, stop leaks, and extend the lifespan of your roof while ensuring a safe, compliant, and cost-effective solution.
If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to waterproof your asbestos roof:
- Cracks or surface wear
- Water leaks or damp patches
- Loose or degraded asbestos sheets
- Moss, lichen, or other growths
- Fading or weathered appearance
Proactive waterproofing helps prevent further deterioration and eliminates the risk of asbestos exposure, making it a smart and safe investment.
