Roof Tile Pointing Cement Alternative, Ridge Tiles, Capping - Elasto-Max Roofing Products Australia


house with cement pointing		house with Elasto-Max® pointing

Clean ridge tiles using a good wire brush.
Take a bucket of Elasto-Max® already tinted in the chosen colour, remove the sealed lid and apply around the edges of the ridge tiles, filling all cracks and holes. Use a trowel to your liking which should be dipped in water regularly to keep it clean and to smooth over the surface.
Elasto-Max® is evenly applied at 3 – 5 mm for new roofing, where only the pointing is to be done on a flush cement bedding. For repair work a alightly increased quantity is needed depending on the repair work to be done to fill in holes and cracks and to finish off the pointing.
Approx. Coverage: 10 ltr. = 30 – 40 caps
4 ltr. = 12 - 16 caps

We recommend the bedding be done in a common cement mortar and only the pointing to be finished off with Elasto-Max®.

Another Beauty about Elasto-Max® is that even after opening a sealed bucket and not using the entire contents, it keeps in the same bucket for many provided that the lid has been closed tightly and it has been kept out of the sun. All that need to be done after that is to stir well and the rest of Elasto-Max® is ready to be used again.
