The Denbigh Rd Armadale body corporate engaged Melbourne Protective Coatings to resolve ongoing roof leaks and widespread rust while avoiding the major cost of full roof replacement. The existing metal roof had brittle anchor-point boots, failed coatings around pipes and skylights, and visible corrosion that threatened the long-term integrity of the building if left untreated.
Our commercial roof painting team recommended a Noxyde Anti Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane system to deliver a durable, watertight membrane system with long-term rust protection and leak prevention. After installing live-edge rails and access equipment, we completed a thorough pressure wash of all roof surfaces, re-tensioned loose screws and roof sheets, and prepared key penetration points for additional waterproofing.
Using airless spray guns, we applied two full coats of Noxyde to achieve the specified film build, incorporating advanced specialised tape around joints, terminations and roof penetrations where extra waterproofing was required. The body corporate selected a white finish to create a heat-reflective cool roof that helps lower internal temperatures and reduce energy demand. According to SimplyCool.com.au, running an AC unit just one degree cooler can increase energy consumption by about 10%, so improved heat reflection translates directly into electricity savings for residents.
With the new Noxyde system in place, the Armadale body corporate has extended the service life of the existing roof, restored waterproofing performance and protected the asset against future corrosion, all without the disruption and expense of roof replacement.
Before work began, the Armadale body corporate roof was suffering from widespread rust, failing sealants and some active leaks. Anchor-point boots were brittle and broken, and the previous roof coatings around pipes, skylights, and other infrastructure had deteriorated. If these issues were left untreated, full roof replacement would likely be the only option within a few short years.
The body corporate needed a cost-effective roof restoration and roof coatings solution that would:
Stop existing leaks and prevent new ones
Arrest rust and protect the metal roof from further corrosion
Create a watertight membrane system around all penetrations
Improve long term performance without replacing the roof
To meet these goals, we specified a Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane system for the Denbigh Rd Armadale roof restoration. This premium Noxyde system provides a flexible, high-build membrane that delivers outstanding rust protection and long-term leak prevention.
Scope of works included:
Initial cleaning of all roof surfaces using high-powered pressure washers
Re-tensioning and fastening loose screws and roof sheets where required
Applying the first full coat of Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane
Installing advanced specialised tape at joints, laps, terminations and penetrations where additional waterproofing was needed
Applying the second full coat of Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane to achieve the correct membrane thickness
This approach transformed a tired, rust-affected roof into a seamless, watertight membrane system suitable for long-term body corporate asset protection.
For this Armadale body corporate roof painting project, we used a dedicated Noxyde system tailored to metal roof restoration and rust protection:
Noxyde Anti Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane applied in two full spray coat
White heat reflective finish selected to create a cool roof for better heat reflection
Watertight membrane system designed to bridge minor movement and seal marginally prepared surfaces
The Noxyde system gives the Denbigh Rd Armadale property a high performance roof coating that resists rust, protects against water ingress and stands up to Melbourne weather conditions.
To safely deliver this body corporate roof restoration in Armadale, our commercial painting team utilised specialised tools and processes:
High powered pressure washers for deep cleaning and surface preparation
Airless spray gun application to achieve consistent Noxyde membrane build
Live edge rails to create a controlled work zone along live roof edges
Access equipment sized for safe movement across all roof areas
Advanced taping methods to reinforce vulnerable penetrations, laps and junctions
These processes align with our roofing membrane systems methodology and ensure the Noxyde system performs as specified.
Choosing a white Noxyde topcoat allowed the Denbigh Rd Armadale body corporate to turn their restored roof into a heat-reflective cool roof. A lighter roof coating reflects more of the sun’s heat, helping keep internal temperatures more stable and reducing dependence on air conditioning during warmer months.
SimplyCool.com.au notes that running an air conditioning unit just one degree cooler can increase energy use by around 10%. By combining rust protection, leak prevention and heat reflection in one roof coatings system, the body corporate has invested in both asset longevity and lower ongoing energy costs.
Noxyde Elastomeric Acrylic Coating is a high-performance, high-build, rust-preventative water-based coating. Noxyde is self-priming and designed for marginally prepared, sound-rusted, or clean steel in mild to severe industrial environments. It can also be used on concrete and has excellent elongation properties of 200% making it suitable for bridging small cracks. This single component coating resists corrosion, rust, and water even in severe marine environments. Can be top coated with multiple Rust-Oleum High Performance products for an extended service life for your assets.
Direct-to-Metal, Self-Priming, High-Build Water-Based Formula - Performs Like Zinc/Epoxy Coatings Without the need to Abrasive Blast - Provides Flexible Durability - Up to 200% Elongation - Excellent Adhesion and Performance over Minimal Surface Pre
On completion, the Denbigh Rd Armadale body corporate roof was fully cleaned, restored and coated with a continuous Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane system. All work areas were thoroughly tidied, and the building owners gained confidence that leaks were addressed and rust had been brought under control.
The finished cool roof now delivers rust protection, leak prevention, waterproofing and heat reflection in one high-performance roof coatings system. For body corporate buildings in Armadale and across Melbourne, this type of Noxyde system roof restoration is a smart way to future-proof valuable assets without the disruption and cost of roof replacement.
