When it comes to roof protection, there's no one-size-fits-all. That’s why NOVEX offers two specialist roof paint systems —
PEAK and FLAKAPROOF — each built for different needs and roofing challenges.
Let’s break down the key differences, when to use which, and the unique strengths of both.
NOVEX PEAK – Acrylic Roof Paint
Great for: Modern homes, Coloursteel® roofs, concrete tiles, and other exterior bits like fascias and garage doors.
Self-priming & water-based: Saves you time – no primer needed on most surfaces.
Matches Coloursteel® finishes: Looks seamless, perfect for touch-ups or full repainting.
Tough against the weather: Built to stand up to harsh sun, wind, and rain.
Safe for water tanks: Just give your roof a good flush before reconnecting the pipes.
Works on more than just roofs: Ideal for fences, garage doors, fascias – anywhere you want that matched finish.
When to use PEAK: Pick this one if your roof’s in decent nick and you want a tidy, modern finish – especially if it’s Coloursteel® or concrete tile. It’s fast, clean, and easy to apply with a brush, roller or sprayer.
NOVEX FLAKAPROOF – Anti-Corrosive Roof Paint
Great for: Older or rusty roofs, sheds, barns, and industrial or rural buildings.
Why choose FLAKAPROOF?
Built-in rust resistance: Made to protect old or weathered metal roofs.
Oil-based for deep protection: Starts off soft, hardens over time into a solid, walkable finish.
Perfect for tricky conditions: Works on dodgy, pitted, or rust-prone surfaces where standard paints might fail.
Long-lasting results: Slower to dry, but worth the wait for long-term durability.
When to use FLAKAPROOF: Go for this one if your roof’s rusty, patchy, or exposed to the elements, especially in coastal or rural areas. It’s a proper heavy-duty option when you need performance more than polish.
Why Offer Two Options?
Because your roof deserves the right tool for the job.
Use PEAK when appearance, colour accuracy and ease of application matter.
Use FLAKAPROOF when rust protection, strength and long-term durability are the priority.
Whatever your roof’s age, shape, or surface – NOVEX has a smart solution.
