What Is Properla RENOTEC Roof Coating?

28 March 2026·5 min read

At The Spraying Team, we exclusively use Properla RENOTEC roof coating on all our projects. But what exactly is it, and why do we choose it over other products?

What Is Properla RENOTEC?

Properla RENOTEC is a professional-grade roof coating system manufactured in the UK. It uses advanced nano-technology to create a super hydrophobic (water-repelling) barrier on your roof tiles.

Unlike cheap roof paints that simply sit on the surface, RENOTEC bonds to the tile at a molecular level, creating a durable, breathable, and self-cleaning finish.

How Does It Work?

The science behind RENOTEC is fascinating:

1. Nano-Technology Bonding

The coating contains microscopic particles that penetrate into the pores of the roof tile. This creates a bond that's far stronger than surface-level paint, which is why it lasts so much longer.

2. Super Hydrophobic Properties

Once applied, the coating causes water to bead up and roll off the surface — taking dirt, moss spores, and algae with it. This is known as the lotus effect, named after the lotus leaf which naturally repels water.

3. UV Resistance

RENOTEC is formulated to resist UV degradation, which means the colour won't fade quickly even in direct sunlight. This is a common problem with cheaper coatings.

4. Breathability

Unlike some coatings that seal the tile completely (which can trap moisture and cause problems), RENOTEC is highly breathable. This means moisture can escape from inside the roof structure while rain is repelled from the outside.

Why We Choose RENOTEC

We've tested many roof coating products over the years, and RENOTEC consistently delivers the best results because:

  • It lasts — 10-year guarantee backed by the manufacturer
  • It works in UK weather — specifically formulated for our climate
  • It looks great — rich, consistent colour that doesn't fade
  • It protects — genuinely prevents moss and algae regrowth
  • It's breathable — won't trap moisture and cause damp issues
  • It's proven — thousands of successful applications across the UK
  • How Is It Applied?

    The application process involves three stages:

  • Pressure Washing — The entire roof is thoroughly cleaned to remove all moss, algae, dirt, and debris
  • Repairs & Priming — Any damaged tiles are replaced, ridge tiles are re-pointed if needed, and the surface is primed
  • Spray Application — RENOTEC is applied using professional airless spray equipment for an even, consistent finish
  • The whole process typically takes 2–3 days depending on the size of the roof.
