Dulux Acratex Roof Pointing

Dulux Acratex roof pointing is a high-build, water-based acrylic mortar for repointing concrete roof ridge tiles. It is ready to use straight from the container, so there is no mixing on site, and it is applied with a trowel to refill the joints between the ridge capping and the tiles. It dries fast, touch dry in about 30 minutes and water resistant after 2 hours, which keeps the pointing job moving on a roof that needs to be finished the same day.

Application

Make sure the ridge tiles are clean, dry and free of contaminants, then trowel the pointing into the joints, filling them fully and wiping the surface smooth. The pointing works to a professional finish in a single pass, and the water-based formula cleans up with water, which keeps the mess off the roof. Work in sections so each joint is pointed and finished while the mortar is still workable.

Available Colours

The pointing comes in 19 colours so it can match or complement the roof tiles: Terracotta, Dark Terracotta, Neutral, Mid Grey, Dark Grey, Charcoal Black, Brown, Stone, Deep Red, Green, Coral White, Light Brown, Light Red, Mid Red, Mid Sand, Deep Brown, Light Sand, Coffee Brown and Light Green.

What You Need To Complete The Job

Point the ridge with a pointing trowel for a clean joint, and use a gauging trowel where you need to spread and level larger areas. Where the ridge bed needs a base layer first, use trade mortar. Browse the Pointing range for the full kit.
