Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment

Metal-clad roofs are a popular choice for commercial buildings due to their durability and strength. However, over time, exposure to the elements can lead to corrosion, particularly at cut edges. This can compromise the structural integrity and appearance of your roof. At DML Roofing + Siphonics, we provide industry-leading cut edge corrosion treatments to protect your roof, extend its lifespan, and maintain its functionality.

Why Choose Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment?

Managing a corroded roof without industry expertise can be challenging. With extensive experience in cut edge corrosion treatments, DML Roofing + Siphonics can handle any project, regardless of size or complexity.

Our unique methodology sets us apart as industry leaders. We collaborate with you throughout the project to deliver the best possible results. Our commitment to superior craftsmanship ensures long-lasting protection for your roof.

We have partnered with numerous commercial clients to secure their metal-clad roofs against corrosion, keeping them safe, strong, and well-maintained. Building strong, friendly relationships with our customers is a priority, as it allows us to provide tailored solutions that meet your specific needs.

Understanding Cut Edge Corrosion

Cut edge corrosion typically occurs on the sheet laps and sheet ends of profiled metal roofs. When pre-finished roof sheets are cut to length, the exposed edges are vulnerable to peeling and corrosion due to exposure. If left untreated, the exposed metal can corrode, leading to perforation and costly repairs.

Early detection and treatment are essential. Untreated cut edge corrosion often voids manufacturer warranties, leaving replacement as the only solution. Protecting your roof proactively with our treatment services can save you significant time and money.

Our Treatment Process

Our comprehensive process ensures effective and long-lasting results:

1. Initial Inspection: We conduct a thorough site survey to assess the extent of the corrosion.
2. Pre-Start Meeting: We discuss the scope of work, schedule key dates, and address health and safety requirements.
3. Surface Preparation: We power wash the affected area to remove loose coatings and clean the surface.
4. Corrosion Removal: Hand grinding and feathering back the factory coating create a clean, tight edge for treatment.
5. Sealant Application: For mid-sheet overlaps, we apply a sealant to form a fillet at the lap joint.
6. Basecoat and Topcoat Application: We apply a basecoat followed by a final topcoat in a colour that complements your roof. For gutter edges, we use a similar process, masking off outer edges for a professional, neat finish.
