Giromax Roofcoat System
High-Performance Metal Roof Refurbishment Coating
Giromax Roofcoat is a BBA-approved liquid-applied coating designed to restore, waterproof and protect commercial metal roofs. Used extensively across industrial, retail and logistics buildings, Roofcoat provides long-term corrosion resistance, UV stability and weatherproofing without the need for roof replacement.
Total Cladding & Roofing is approved to install the full Giromax Roofcoat system, offering surveys, specifications and manufacturer-backed installation across the UK.
What Is Giromax Roofcoat?
Giromax Roofcoat is an advanced metal roof refurbishment system that forms a seamless, flexible membrane over profiled steel roof sheets. It is engineered to halt corrosion, seal surfaces and extend the life of ageing metal roofs subjected to harsh environmental conditions.
Key performance characteristics include:
-
UV and colour stability
-
Long-term corrosion protection
-
Strong substrate adhesion
-
Flexibility for roof movement
-
Moisture-tolerant application
When Is Roofcoat Used?
Roofcoat is commonly specified for:
-
Weathered metal roofs with failing original coatings
-
Roofs showing surface corrosion or colour fading
-
Buildings suffering leaks from laps, fixings or degraded areas
-
Commercial and industrial roofs requiring long-term refurbishment
-
Situations where full roof replacement is impractical or too costly
It is frequently installed alongside Giromax Edgecoat to treat cut-edge corrosion before full coating.

System Longevity
Giromax Roofcoat typically delivers a 15–25 year service life depending on substrate condition, exposure and correct installation. Its BBA certification supports long-term performance.
How Roofcoat Prevents Leaks and Corrosion
Roofcoat forms a continuous, fully bonded membrane that:
-
Seals joints, laps and fixings
-
Encapsulates weathered sheet surfaces
-
Resists UV, moisture and thermal movement
-
Prevents further surface breakdown
Combined with Edgecoat, it addresses both sheet surfaces and vulnerable edges.
