Another Award In The Office Series From Sika

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Feb 27, 2004

Westgate House, an office building located at Westgate, Halifax was recently re-roofed using Trocal S, one of the single ply roofing membranes from market leader Sika Limited.

The problem facing the Trocal team in the re-roofing of the building was that the client required a cost effective watertight solution and also specified that the re-roofing should not disrupt the day to day business at the office.

The solution from the Trocal team and specialist contractor QM Roofing of Dewsbury was to overlay Trocal S on top of the failed roof to waterproof the structure without stripping off the existing roof.

The vapour permeability of the Trocal membranes allows trapped moisture in the failed roof to evaporate.

Additionally leaking parapets on the failed roof were waterproofed with integral tapered Trocal metal.

Watch out for more success in the office series from Sika!.
