BRIEF
Protect and self-clean the glazed ceramic tile roof.

Material & Application

With difficult access to the roof, the builders decided on ECOCLEAN to help with maintenance and cleaning of glazed ceramic roofing. Our team expertly applied ECOCLEAN System 1, Porosity Sealer and Self-Cleaning Coating, to the glazed ceramic tile roof via spray application.

Outcome

Neeson Murcutt Architects needed a solution that would protect the glazed ceramic tile roof on the $2.2 million rebuild of the Old Kempsey-Crescent Head Surf Life Saving Club. They wanted to avoid grime and salt accumulation on the roof system with minimal maintenance from the volunteers and to reduce maintenance costs. The architect designed the outside surfaces so they would be durable in the marine environment and easy to maintain.

Using the power of daylight, rainwater and dew, ECOCLEAN created a self-cleaning roof that continually breaks down algae, mould and organic matter, which can cause unsightly stains. The Crescent Head Surf Club went on to win three awards including the NSW Sulman Medal for Public Architecture.

Testimonial

considering a number of different approaches to solving our problem a photocatalyst coating proved to be both the most effective and inexpensive solution.
