RV Roofing Guide: How to make Roof Sealant work perfectly…?

Whether you accept it or not, roof is the most important part of the RV. RV roof will take the toughest toll while on the road. Keeping the RV roof in a tip-top condition will prevent damage from leaks and debris. The best thing you can do is make aware of your RV roof material; know its maintenance needs and do the required maintenance.

Rubber and other Roofing Materials

There are number of different options available for RV roofing but liquid roofing is gaining popularity because of convenience, affordability, and ease of application. There are fewer seams to seal means less need of maintenance too. EPDM is a synthetic compound used in making liquid roofing products. EPDM compound is available in black and white although most black texture will turn into white because of oxidation. This is actually blessing in disguise as it creates a stronger protective layer over the rest of the roof. With simple tools like paint roller or squeegee you can put on a rubber coating, and create a strong, durable roof that won’t need much maintenance for the first 10 years or so.

Caulking and Sealing with Rubber Roofing

Although liquid roofing creates a seamless membrane, you still need to caulk the areas around AC vents and other roof openings to create a durable seal that is still removable for easy access. The roof replacement process is also very easy. Remove the old sealant, clean and prep the area and apply the new coating. One recoating should be fine but if the roof is severely damaged and about 15 years old you first have to replace the old roof. Removing the old roof also allows you to inspect and replace any damaged plywood or underlying deck underneath, adding more value and protection to your investment.

To Conclude:The RV markets is currently flooded with various DIY roofing products like tapes and ordinary bonding sealants, but never rely on these temporary fixes and always opt for reliable and durable liquid roofing products like Liquid RV Roof. To get the best return on your investment be sure to do regular maintenance. Cleaning the roof bi-annually will help to maintain its durability and longevity.
