Topdek Ensures Top Flight Performance
Topdek insulated membrane roof deck panels from Ward Insulated Panels was chosen by architects Bradford and Robertson on a new curved roof project at Glasgow Prestwick International Airport.
This effect is usually found on traditional lead or aluminium roofs, but on this occasion Ward TopDek provided a cost effective alternative to create the same aesthetic result.
Ward TopDek is a factory pre-engineered composite roof panel that facilitates faster on-site assembly.
It comprises a proven high performance single-ply PVC outer membrane integrally bonded with a Firesafe rigid PIR core and a steel trapezoidal profile inner deck for structural strength.
This system features no through fixings and can be curved to radii greater than 70 metres.
The roofing contractor on the Ibis Hotel project was Helix Roofing (Single Ply) Limited, based in Liverpool.
David O'Dowd, Managing Director of Helix, said: "We chose Ward TopDek because we knew how quickly it could be installed.
In fact, we estimate that we saved at least seven days in putting the product down, when compared to traditional roofing methods." The pitched roof is an unusual use of Ward's versatile TopDek panels, which are generally used for 'flat roof 'applications. Request a free brochure from Ward Insulated Panels ...
