It is obvious that your roof will be subject to severe weather conditions in Australia.
Metal roofs, concrete tiles, and terracotta all succumb to aging and degradation due to extreme UV exposure, salt-laden winds and heavy downpours.
Roof coatings and roof paints provide the best protection for any roof type. Roof paints can extend the life of any roof for many years. They will also increase the value of your home and preserve the roof’s original appearance.
This guide will help you choose the right roofing paint, regardless of whether you are looking to improve your roof’s water resistance and durability, increase heat reflective thermal performance, or just change the colour of your roof.
What’s The Best Roofing Painting?
The first thing you should ask when choosing the right roof paint for your roof is…
What kind of roof would you like to paint?
Roof coatings are required for metal roofs, concrete tiles and terracotta. Before painting, you may need to seal and clean the roof.
Primer will seal and protect metal roofs from corrosion. It will also fill and seal pitted concrete tile roofs.
If you want your roof to last, this is the right step to take.

How Long Do Roof Paints Last?
Roof paint can last up to 15 years if you use high-quality paint and apply it correctly.
Neglecting to prepare the surface will cause paint to not last as long, no matter how well the paint is.
Your paint’s performance is also affected by drying times and weather conditions. This is especially important considering the variable weather conditions in Australia.
It is crucial to follow all manufacturer’s instructions regarding preparation, temperature, drying times and other details for all paint types.

Remember that the correct product selection, surface preparation and coating application have a major impact on roof paint performance. This will also affect your roof painting cost.
While many paints are suitable for DIY roof painters, some coating types require the expertise of professionals to attain a satisfactory paint finish.
