Roof Insulation with Fleez Acrylic System
What is the Fleez Acrylic System?
The Fleez Acrylic System is a flexible waterproofing system used to protect roofs from water leakage, moisture, and weather conditions. It is based on applying an acrylic waterproofing coating reinforced with Fleez rolls to form a continuous and cohesive insulation layer over the surface.
This system does not rely on a coating layer only; it combines the flexibility of acrylic with the reinforcement strength of Fleez rolls, helping improve the efficiency of the insulation layer and increasing its ability to resist minor cracks and movement caused by expansion and contraction.
The Fleez Acrylic System is used on metal, concrete, and tiled roofs, especially in areas exposed to rain, direct sunlight, or continuous weather changes.
Why is the Fleez Acrylic System considered a distinctive insulation system?
The Fleez Acrylic System provides a flexible and lightweight waterproofing layer, making it suitable for roofs that need effective protection without adding heavy loads to the building.
It is also easy to apply and maintain, and can be used on different types of surfaces such as metal roofs, concrete roofs, and tiled surfaces, with good ability to handle natural surface movement when applied correctly.
The system is applied using AcryProof acrylic coating at a rate of 1 kg/m², reinforced with Fleez rolls, with an overlap between rolls of not less than 10 cm to ensure the continuity of the insulation layer and reduce the chances of water leakage from overlap areas.
How does the Fleez Acrylic System provide water protection and reduce heat absorption?
The Fleez Acrylic System forms a continuous waterproofing membrane that covers the entire roof, helping reduce the chances of water penetration through joints and weak areas.
The acrylic layer resists rainwater and moisture, while Fleez rolls provide additional reinforcement within the system, increasing the cohesion of the insulation layer and reducing the effect of minor cracks and natural surface movement.
The light-colored acrylic coating also helps reflect part of the sunlight and reduce heat absorption caused by direct exposure, providing effective water protection with suitable performance against weather conditions.

Application Areas
The Fleez Acrylic System is used for waterproofing metal roofs, concrete roofs, and tiled surfaces. It is also suitable for hangars, warehouses, and factories, in addition to treating gutters and rainwater drainage channels, reinforcing joints and sheet overlap areas, and rehabilitating old insulation systems after proper surface preparation and treatment of weak areas.
Execution Steps
1. Surface Preparation
The surface is thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, oils, grease, and loose materials. Any impurities or weak layers are removed to ensure the surface is ready and to achieve the best adhesion for the insulation system.
2. Surface Treatment
The required treatments are carried out according to the surface condition, including sanding rusted areas, removing damaged parts, fixing loose metal sheets with screws or rivets, and sealing openings, joints, and sheet overlap areas using suitable materials, with special attention to gutters and rainwater drainage channels as they are among the areas most exposed to water leakage problems.
3. Acrylic Reinforced with Fleez Application
AcryProof acrylic coating, produced by Tri-Chem for Construction Chemicals, is applied at a rate of 1 kg/m², reinforced with Fleez rolls, with an overlap between rolls of not less than 10 cm to ensure a continuous and cohesive insulation layer.
4. Final Inspection
After the system has been applied and the insulation layers have dried, the entire roof is inspected to ensure the uniformity of the insulation layer, the safety of joints, gutters, openings, and sheet overlap areas, and to address any observations before final handover.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Fleez Acrylic System suitable for metal, concrete, and tiled roofs?
Yes, the Fleez Acrylic System can be applied to metal roofs and sheets, as well as concrete and tiled surfaces, provided that the surface is properly cleaned, checked for stability, and treated for rust, cracks, or joints before application.
What is the importance of Fleez rolls in the system?
Fleez rolls transform the acrylic layer from a simple waterproofing coating into a more cohesive reinforced system, helping distribute stresses across the surface and improve insulation efficiency in areas exposed to movement or joints.
Does the surface need treatment before applying the insulation?
Yes, surface treatment is one of the most important execution stages. It includes cleaning the surface, removing rust, sealing openings and joints, and treating weak areas to ensure the efficiency and durability of the insulation system.
Can the Fleez Acrylic System be maintained after application?
Yes, the system is easy to maintain, as any damaged area can be treated or locally reinforced according to the surface condition and the type of damage.
Why Choose EMC?
EMC implements an integrated insulation system that starts with surface inspection, preparation, and treatment of weak areas, through to the application of insulation layers and final inspection, because insulation quality does not depend only on the material itself, but on the integration of every execution stage to ensure effective protection against water leakage and weather conditions.
The Fleez Acrylic System is applied by a specialized technical team committed to the required technical specifications, achieving a strong and cohesive insulation layer that helps extend the roof’s service life and reduce the possibility of future water leakage.
