Cut Edge Corrosion

What is Cut Edge Corrosion?

Cut edge corrosion occurs at the exposed edges of metal roofing/cladding where the sheets have been cut to size. cutting the panel exposes the protective coating and allows moisture and contaminants to penetrate, leading to rust and ultimately the deterioration at the edges. Over time, this can cause the metal to weaken, leading to structural issues and aesthetic problems.

Benefits of Treating cUT eDGE coRROSION

Prevents Further Rusting
Cut edge corrosion treatment helps prevent further rusting, prolonging the life of the panels and avoiding costly replacements.
Maintains Structural Integrity
Treating corrosion early maintains the structural integrity of the building, preventing potential safety hazards in the future.
Improve Aesthetic Appeal
Treating and sealing cut edges keeps the cladding or roofing looking new, preserving the aesthetic appeal of the building.
Cost-Effective
Preventative treatment of cut edge corrosion is more cost-effective than repairing extensive damage or replacing corroded panels.
Improve Weather-Tightness
Proper treatment seals the cut edges, prevents moisture ingress, which is crucial in maintaining the weather-tightness of the building envelope.

Our Process

Inspection & Assessment
Conduct a thorough inspection to identify areas affected by cut edge corrosion. Assess the severity and determine the appropriate treatment plan.
Surface Preparation
Carefully clean and prepare the corroded edges by removing rust, old coatings, and any contaminants. High power jet washing, Sanding or grinding may be used to ensure a smooth surface for optimal adhesion of the treatment.
Application of Anti-Corrosion Treatment
Apply sealant over the joints and apply a high-quality anti-corrosion primer or coating to the prepared edges. This step is crucial for sealing the exposed metal and preventing further corrosion.
Final Coating & Protection
We will then apply a final coating across the roof to enhance durability and provide a weather-resistant finish, ensuring long-term protection against corrosion.
