Application steps

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Deco Mineralised Grit Walkways on Roofs
Mask off designated walkway to chosen roof areas, Ideally use silver tape (duck tape) to achieve a good bond strength. It is recommended to install a m2 wide walkway across the cured completed system.

Apply a coat of the chosen Sika Liquid Plastic liquid applied roofing membrane at a coverage rate of 0.3l/m2 and fully broadcast the mineral grit across the walkway area. Whilst wet remove the silver tape (duck tape) and dispose of it accordingly.

NB. Non-removal of the tape before the coating has cured will result in time consuming removal and will also give a untidy edge finish. Once cured sweep away any excess mineral grit off the walkway and re-bag to use again. If the grit has become damp overnight due to inclement weather then the grit will be harder to remove and a stiff brush maybe required. Let the excess grit dry out on a dry open floor to be used again.
