Stormseal Installers
Stormseal is a lightweight but strong polymer film that heat-shrinks to cover a damaged structure. This award-winning, Australian innovation saves insurers tens of millions of dollars and has been used to protect thousands of storm-damaged properties in Australia and around the world.
WHY USE STORMSEAL?
Unlike tarps, Stormseal goes on once and stays put, resisting wind, rain and hail and protecting your premises until permanent repairs are made.
The patented shrinking resins in the film wrap tightly to any roofline or damaged structure, requiring no ropes or sandbags. Heat application increases the strength of the film and creates a snug fit, without damaging any underlying materials.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
✓ 100% Watertight
✓ Resistant to further storms including hail and winds up to 160km/h
✓ 12 months or more of protection
✓ Stormseal can last over a year, giving you peace of mind until final repairs are made
THE INSTALLATION
- Our Team have been trained to complete a damage report on arrival at the worksite and are 100% accredited installers.
- Stormseal film is cut and tailored on-site to fit the damaged structure.
- Because Stormseal is much lighter than tarpaulins and requires no sandbags or ropes, it is removed easier and faster.
- Attachment occurs at the perimeter of the damaged area, so installers spend less time on the roof, reducing risk and cost.
- Heat-shrinking increases the strength of the Stormseal film and fits it snugly to the structure, without harming underlying materials.
- Stormseal can be easily removed and reapplied for roof inspections when needed.
COST EFFECTIVE
How does the cost of Stormseal compare to tarpaulins?
Stormseal is far more cost-effective than tarps. Tarps are cheaper to procure but they multiply claims costs manifold by causing further property damage when they frequently flap, tear, leak, collapse or flyaway. Labour costs are also greater for tarps because they require repeated replacement – 4 to 5 times on average, and up to 13 times – during the months it takes to process a damage claim.
Another cost of tarpaulins is loss of customer goodwill. Customers are traumatised as their home suffers further weather damage and the noise of flapping tarps keeps them awake at night. They experience extreme frustration when they have to telephone their insurer repeatedly to ask for failed tarps to be replaced. In contrast, Stormseal customers are very satisfied because they experience minimal disruption to their lives and have peace of mind knowing their home is secure.
