Tor Coatings waterproof roofing supplied to hotel

Tor Coatings has been approached to provide a comprehensive site survey to tackle water ingress through a degraded hotel roof in Knightsbridge.

The Sheraton Park Tower hotel stands within the historic streets of Knightsbridge, London.

The circular tower ensures each of the 280 guest rooms benefits from broad views of London's iconic skyline.

The existing felt and asphalt roof had degraded due to excessive weathering which caused cracking and rivelling resulting in water ingress.

The problem needed to be solved quickly, effectively and without disruption to guests or administration.

The client also required that the roof be fully waterproofed and supported by a guarantee.

After a thorough inspection and photographic survey by Tor Coatings, the Elastaseal 20 year system was specified.

Elastaseal provides long-term resistance to ponded water and is particularly suitable for flat roofs and gutters.

The reinforced, permanent elastomeric seamless system encapsulates the roof to provide a completely joint-free and 100 per cent waterproof membrane.

The Elastaseal system is a cold-liquid applied coating that eliminates fire hazards and the inconvenience caused by using alternative hot applied systems that require the building to be vacated.

By using Elastaseal it meant there was no disruption to ongoing operational activities of the hotel.

The system was professionally applied by Full Metal Jacket, who is a trained Tor Partner.

This partnership allowed Tor to provide the client with a 20 year Latent Defects guarantee covering both the product and its application.
