Rust at fasteners
Screws and fastener sleeves back out and corrode first, opening a path for water long before the panel field fails.
Metal roof route
Standing seam, corrugated and sandwich-panel roofs fail at the details first: rust at fasteners, moving seams, chalking paint. Enduris is applied as a continuous silicone membrane only after those details are treated.

Why metal roofs leak first at the details
A metal roof moves every day with the heat. Fasteners, seams, laps and penetrations take that movement, not the flat panel — so that is where the roof actually fails.
Screws and fastener sleeves back out and corrode first, opening a path for water long before the panel field fails.
Daily heat cycles expand and contract metal panels. Laps and standing seams work loose and old sealant cracks.
Factory paint and old coatings lose adhesion and reflectivity under UV and heat, so the roof runs hotter every year.
AC bases, pipe penetrations and gutters are where corrosion starts on a metal roof — not the open field.
The metal roof route
Survey and adhesion test on the actual metal and old coating. Treat rust, fasteners, seams and penetrations. Prime where the substrate requires it. Only then apply the continuous GE Enduris silicone membrane.
Loose or corroded fasteners replaced or sealed; standing seams and laps treated before the field coat.
Corroded areas are cleaned and primed correctly — silicone over active rust fails early.
GE Enduris silicone ties the field, seams and penetrations into one reflective, waterproof surface.
