We partner with waterproofing specialists who provide warrantied and insurance-backed single-ply and liquid applied waterproofing, with or without the addition of a green roof. EPDM rubber-based waterproofing is recognised by Greenpeace as the most environmentally-stable roofing product on the market, which has recently been proven to have a 50 year lifespan (and counting).
Bespoke sizes
Where you are planning a roof with no penetrations (skylights or pipes etc), you can take advantage of large factory-formed sheets made to the exact dimensions required for the roof. The speed of installation of large-sheet EPDM makes it a popular choice with architects and specifiers, as well as our contractor partners for whom being able to cover hundreds of meters of deck in one day keeps things moving on internal elements below.
Brilliant for green roofs
Pre-fabricating membranes also eliminates the risk that traditional jointed systems pose. This is especially important for green roofs where it removes the need for a root barrier.
For jobs of greater complexity, for instance those involving lots of detailing or without the protection of a green roof layer on top, our waterproofing partners will sometimes use Resitrix, a glass-reinforced and bitumen-backed EPDM system available exclusively ‘off the roll’ or, more frequently, a liquid-applied system that covers complex details like a GRP with fewer of the toxic ingredients.
