Contractors bank on Decothane
Liquid Plastics has recently provided the Yorkshire Bank Headquarters in Leeds with a Cold Fusion Bonded Built-Up Roofing System, applied by McConnell Seamless Roofing.
Project managers, Triton Restoration, required a new waterproofing system that could be quickly and safely installed with minimum disruption to everyday theatre business.
"When we first saw the roof it was in a very poor state, with a number of failed areas and a good deal of detail work that required re-waterproofing," comments Terry Wain, Liquid Plastics' Technical Field Services Manager.
"However we were confident that Decothane was more than capable to handle the job, and because it is cold applied we knew that 'the show would go on' with minimum disruption from the roof works".
Decothane is an elastomeric waterproof membrane, cold applied in liquid form.
It is an incredibly versatile product and can easily accommodate detail areas.
Systems are available with15, 20 or 25 year guarantees but in this instance a 15 year system was installed.
And because the work was completed by one of Liquid Plastics' Quality Assured Contractors - Millane .
- a single point guarantee was issued covering both materials and labour.
David Millane from Millane .
adds; "This was certainly a high profile project, and the waterproof finish provided by Decothane would have been difficult to achieve using traditional materials".
"With Decothane we not only produced a completely seamless membrane but it's also guaranteed to last for at least 15 years.".
