A New Lease of Life for Asbestos Roofs
17/06/2025
A worn asbestos roof does not always need to be removed. When the existing roof structure is still suitable, professional encapsulation with ElaProof PRO S can extend its service life, reduce the risk of fibre release and limit waste, transport and the need for new materials.
Renovation instead of unnecessary removal
Encapsulation is about preserving a roof structure that can still perform. Rather than dismantling the entire roof, the existing surface can be sealed and protected with an elastic coating system.
This reduces the amount of asbestos-containing construction waste and the need for transport to an approved disposal facility. It also avoids the immediate environmental impact of new roofing materials and the logistics involved in a complete roof replacement.
Reduced risk of fibre release
As the surface of an older asbestos roof begins to weather, it can become more vulnerable to exposure, wear and mechanical damage. When correctly applied, encapsulation binds and seals the surface, helping to protect the roof from further deterioration.
ElaProof PRO S is a water-based, elastic coating for professional spray application. The product is CE-marked in accordance with EN 13813 and EN 1504-2, has a documented elongation at break of 810% and has been tested as a watertight coating.
Its high elasticity makes the system suitable for surfaces where movement, cracking and temperature changes must be accommodated as part of the overall solution.
Installed by certified ElaProof partners
Encapsulating an asbestos roof is not a standard painting job. The work must be planned, prepared and carried out by a certified ElaProof partner with the necessary expertise and equipment.
This ensures that assessment, cleaning, preparation, application and inspection form part of one controlled process with a clear focus on safety and documentation.
The process must always begin with a professional assessment of the roof. If the sheets are too damaged, the structure has been weakened or the substrate is unsuitable, another solution must be chosen.
Explore the ElaProof range
Spray-applied elastic coating for larger roof areas and professional coating projects where efficient, even application is an advantage.
Hand-applied elastic coating for details, transitions, smaller areas and local sealing.
Ready-mixed coating with sand for walls, plinths and vertical surfaces where texture, finish and durability matter.
Light-coloured, reflective roof coating for projects where surface colour, solar exposure and heat load are part of the assessment.
