The metal gutters were suffering from degradation with corrosion persistent throughout. Some repairs were evident at the joints, but the lack of preparation and wrong choice of product meant that the waterproofing capability of the gutter had become compromised.

Our client tasked us with developing a specification detailing the methodology for preparation and application. We selected Tor Elastaseal Z, a low-odour, fully polyurethane coating system that includes primers, membranes, and accessories. When applied, Elastaseal Z forms a seamless, joint-free waterproof barrier, ensuring efficient water runoff.
