Silicone Roof Sealing & Coating
CaraCare uses a very high-quality 100% silicone roof coating product. We also apply the silicone and complete the application process for you to seal and protect your roof.
Silicone roof sealing is an ideal solution for:
1. Leaking roofs on motorhomes, caravans and horse trucks.
2. Older motorhomes and caravans at risk of leaking or with damaged roofs.
3. Reducing heat inside your vehicle (our silicone is highly reflective/reflects the sun).
4. Restoring and future-proofing rooftops from UV and weather damage.
Our silicone can be applied to nearly all motorhome, caravan and horse truck roof types, including metals, fibreglass, aluminium, plastic, wood and EPDM.
Elongation and Colour
Our silicone roof coating product has an elongation (stretch) factor of over 300+%, making it ideal for (moving) vehicles.
Our silicone product is applied in bright white as standard (for reflecting the sun/UV), but it can also be tinted/coloured on request.
Patching Damaged Areas/Holes
We apply extra silicone (patches) to damaged areas such as holes, joints, and leaking seams. This heavy-duty silicone patch provides very fast and effective waterproofing. After patching any specific damaged areas, we commence the general application process.
The Process (Multiple Coats)
We thoroughly clean, dry, and prep the roof before masking around hatches/vents and the roof being sealed. Then, we apply the first coat of silicone and allow it to dry (generally overnight) before applying multiple coats (for extra durability and protection). We pay particular attention to high-risk leak areas, such as all joints, seams and connections (including rivets and screws).
The Outcome
When completed, the outcome is one solid membrane (similar to a large rubber mat on your entire roof area) that completely covers the roof area, providing years of weather protection for your vehicle. Not only does it patch/fix existing leaks, but it also protects against future roof leaks and damage. Roof cleaning becomes much easier as the silicone has high resistance to dirt and grime.
