Asbestos Restoration: Safer, Cost-Effective with Shieldcoat

Our system, backed by a 10-year warranty, involves using Mouldshield K to eliminate mould and lichens, followed by Shieldseal AE, an asbestos encapsulation primer. Next, Fillabond, a high-build coating, is applied to smooth out surface imperfections. Finally, Roofbond Roof Membrane or Thermobond HRC in your chosen colour is applied.

The Shieldcoat system securely locks in asbestos fibres, which is a safer and far more economical alternative to the costly and high-risk process of removing your asbestos roof.

What you need to know to get started

Mouldshield K: Effective Cleaning

Mouldshield K from Shieldcoat is a super-strength mould killer that effectively kills mould and lichens on your asbestos roof, preparing it for the next steps in the restoration process.

Shieldseal AE: Safe Asbestos Encapsulation

Our Shieldseal AE asbestos encapsulation primer locks in asbestos fibres, providing a safe base for further restoration and eliminating the risk of harmful fibre release. It is applied using a 517 airless tip before applying Fillabond.

Fillabond: High-Build Coating for a Perfect Finish

Fillabond, a high-build coating, fills in surface imperfections in your asbestos roof, preparing it for the final topcoat and ensuring a smooth, consistent finish. Without it, roofs can be left looking patchy, as variations in the orientation of the fibres cause the top coat to appear dull in places.

Roofbond Roof Membrane or Thermobond HRC

Roofbond Roof Membrane revitalises your roof with a fresh new look in any colour you choose. Thermobond HRC provides a heat-reflective alternative for increased comfort and reduced cooling energy costs.

Optional Nanobond Finish for Extended Warranty

For a superior restoration, consider using Nanobond as the final topcoat. The warranty period increases to 12 years, with the first 6 covered by Shieldcoat's unique 'no-fade' warranty.

A Secure and Safe System

Shieldcoat's process is designed for maximum safety. It securely encapsulates the asbestos, and for products like Mouldshield K, it is crucial not to wash it off, as it must remain on the surface as part of the Shieldcoat anti-fungal system.
