for parapet wall depending on height you would use Lava VERTICAL( higher viscosity Lava20) or use Lava DETAIL ( fiber reinforced lava 20, almost like a paste)
You may use GRP Trims and then apply Lava20 to coat them or Tape the joints and apply Lava20 in a few coats to build it up to a 2 / 3mm thickness. Also you may use Lava Vertical(higher Viscosity Lava20)
Hi Paul, on new builds( Ply/OSB) reinforcing the joints with the tape it is sufficient but of course if using Matting it is a much stronger overall surface! Using matting would normally take a bit extra material as well. Both options are Acceptable!
Hi Rhys, where exactly are you based? Depending on the location you may purchase directly from our website www.globalcoatings.eu or even contact us directly on Watsapp 00353860786096 and we can advice.
At the moment US /Florida would be the closest location to purchase the products! But yes it is suitable for Traffic when the TopCoat is applied as well for protection!
Yea absolutely, Lava20 system is suitable for applications on new builds as well as refurbs(felt, asphalt, fiberglass, metal etc). On asphalt you would require to use matting over the entire surface. Send us your project details (size,surface ,location) and we ll advise and price for you.
My 1960s house is flat roofed and has burnt on felt as its covering. Would it work priming that, putting the fleece down and 2 coats of Lava 20 on top?
Need advice After first coat -reinforcing matt is applied and here is the problem -the strains are pulled out of the Matt and looks like hedgehogs when you try to press it with roller or even worse when you try to give second coat .
First you ll need to make sure you are doing a wet on wet application, you only work on a few meters at one time( 2- 5 m) .Apply Lava20 then follow right away with the matting , work the matting in the product then follow with more Lava20 to cover it. There is a video on our page here with Lava20 being applied on Felt and it shows the exact application. Depending on the type of the Matting you are using, if it is the lighter powder coated Eg225g this would start disintegrating in the Lava20 in order to take the shape of any surface so you ll need to work it for a short time only. Contact us directly on Watsapp 00353860786096 and we can video call as well. Any of the imperfections in the coating can be sanded when Lava20 is dry and then you just follow with another lighter coat of Lava20 to level it all up.
Realistically yes you can but you will need to use LAVA Vertical( higher viscosity Lava20). Normally it is designed for flat surfaces or with slope up to 10 degrees
Yes sure, Clean and dry the surface, any cracks can be filled with PU Mastic and Reinforced with Tape( Lava+tape+ Lava), Prime the surface then apply Lava20 in two coats or one heavy coat but add catalyst for uniform curing. Depending on the porosity of the concrete surface you may require anywhere to very minimum 2kg to 2.5 to 3kg/m2 of LAVA20 .You can email your project to us( size, location and maybe a couple of photos and we can price that for you. Regards Global Coatings
If you can let it dry for a few days yes but otherwise no, concrete tends to hold moisture , a good stiff brush and dust off well. Careful with the application of primer on concrete not to soak the surface, take any excess of the roller ! Give it 30 mins to dry
I'm really keen to use this on the roof of my workshop. It's covered with some corrugated material - I don't think it's asbestos but not sure. The roof is 5.5 x 4.7 metres and my son is happy to do the job. Would you be happy to provide me with a materials list please? Very many thank, Anne (old lady on the isle of Mull 🙂)
Yes sure but we would recommend to also use Matting in the coating of the Lava20, so basically instead of taping the joints you will apply chopstrand matting over the entire surface, optional but recommended you can add the topcoat for a bulletproof job! Send us size of the surface you are looking to cover to orders@globalcoatings.eu and would happily send you a products requirement for your job.
Yes,Lava sticks to Lead Valleys. First give the surface a key, dust off, fill any cracks/gaps with PU Mastic, prime the surface, tape all joints ( wet on wet with Fabric Tape) then coat the entire surface with Lava20 ( approx 1.8kg/m2 require) All products in stock and available for collection or next day delivery. ...
What do you cover adjoining edges to a building with? So instead of lead? I’m considering using this for a flat roof and lean to directly onto the osbs
There are different shape GRP trims that would suit the application. We have a full list of trims on our website GLOBALCOATINGS.EU there is even a simulated lead flashing trim
You could no problem at all but grinding the surface before is recommended to remove any contamination! You can also contact us directly with more information about your project( size, location maybe a couple of photos of the surface) and we can recommend the right installation steps and quantities required .

Do you have a video which shows how to use the lave 20 on a parapit wall
for parapet wall depending on height you would use Lava VERTICAL( higher viscosity Lava20) or use Lava DETAIL ( fiber reinforced lava 20, almost like a paste)
How about the up stand details?
You may use GRP Trims and then apply Lava20 to coat them or Tape the joints and apply Lava20 in a few coats to build it up to a 2 / 3mm thickness. Also you may use Lava Vertical(higher Viscosity Lava20)
Can PV Solar Panels be fitted on top? They'd sit on a frame (with rubber feet) and be pinned down with weighted ballasts.
Yes 100% but do apply the Lava TOP COAT for protection of the waterproofing coating!
@GlobalCoatings Do you use chopstrand matting between the joints or you tape the joints and between just lava 20?
Hi Paul, on new builds( Ply/OSB) reinforcing the joints with the tape it is sufficient but of course if using Matting it is a much stronger overall surface! Using matting would normally take a bit extra material as well. Both options are Acceptable!
Where can you buy the product from have been looking on the internet and can’t find a supplier

Yes wet on wet , it’s light chop strand fibre matt and second coat pulls the matt apart.
@@jan101092 second coat over LAVA should be poured over the matting and just spread and only work 3 to 4 meters at one time wet on wet

Hello ! Would this system work on a houseboat roof? That means quite a bit of structural movement.
There would be an osb substrate.

It is, but doesn't have an ASTM certification yet. Depends on what you want to use it on.
