Belzona Facts
The original roof was completed in 1990 by the local Authorized Contractor. It was possible to see corrosion as a result of bird litter on sheets of the new extension but on the Belzona® 3111 Membrane System it has had no effect on performance although a wash would make it more aesthetically pleasing. As a result of the success on the original roof, the extended building was then encapsulated and the existing system refurbished to provide a further 15 years life.
