All lose sheeting and damage sections was fixed. To ensure a watertight seal, 3 x layers of the Pekay Acrylic membrane system was used. The roof also had sections of fiberglass panels that had to be fixed and sealed. Polyurethane joint sealant was used on all fiberglass panels. The factory roof also had sheeting tying in with roof slabs that had to be a seal. Roof slabs were previously also sealed with ineffective Torch On and everything had to be removed before any remedies could be applied. After the old Tourch-On was removed all the flat areas were primed with Bitumonuis primer. Once the primer has dried 4mm Jayco Copirnit Torch On was applied. The Torch-On areas were covered with two coats of aluminum silver to help protect against the sun.
