Ward TopDek insulated membrane roof deck panels with a standing seam effect have been used to create a striking lead-effect roofing finish for the new Ibis Hotel in Botchergate, central Carlisle.
Ward Designs Big Yellow Solution
Ward Insulated Panels and MITIE Roofing have devised a complex over-roofing solution to provide a new lease of life for Big Yellow Self Storage at their London Bow location
It comprises a proven high performance single-ply PVC outer membrane integrally bonded to a Firesafe rigid PIR insulation core, approved to LPBC standards and a steel trapezoidal profile inner deck to provide structural strength.
As an all -in-one single ply roofing solution, Topdek replaces the individual processes of laying steel decking, vapour control layer, insulation and outer membrane with one simple installation, which compared to traditional built up roofing systems, is proving to be up to 50% faster to install.
A new self-coring screw - unique to Topdek - speeds the installation process even further.
Conventional fixing required a core of insulation to be removed, a self-tapping screw to be fixed then the core replaced prior to the welding of the side-lap.
Now, in one simple operation, the self-coring screw replaces all of these three stages.
Kevin Conlon , Director of the Architects behind the project, The Motor Design Group, states: "We specified Topdek for this reason in addition to the roof panel's guaranteed thermal performance and excellent air leakage qualities".
Gary March, managing director of Cladanco , comments: "The speed of installation on this project was remarkable". Request a free brochure from Ward Insulated Panels ...
"The use of the SFS self-coring fastener is thought to have saved almost one third of the installation time, considerably reducing labour costs meaning the project was completed on schedule and to budget.".
