With the price of lead rising and thefts from roofs on the increase Kemperol Waterproofing Membranes from Kemper System could provide the answer to an otherwise serious problem. Priced at a fraction of the cost of lead, Kemperol has for many years been used as a reliable and cost effective substitute for lead.

Pupils at a Preston primary school may have been disappointed that solvent-free Kemperol cold liquid waterproofing was used to repair their leaking roof, for it meant that classes went ahead without disruption and the expected 'day-off', had a traditional solution been used never materialised. Supplied by Kemper System, BBA-certified Kemperol 2K-PUR is believed to be the UK's only solvent free cold liquid waterproofing. It is applied wet-on-wet, which means projects are completed more quickly and, because there are no laminations it is has an expected working life of 25 years.

It is also a low-weight solution that does not require structural reinforcement
