Britain's best source of building product & construction news

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.

In a drive to reduce building and construction times Kemper have introduced a new product that it says will allow finishing traders to gain access while construction above goes on. Kemperol cold liquid waterproofing can be applied to any interim floor meaning that it can be installed before and while construction above is being completed. Once the construction is finished the floor is then screeded prior to finishing. Intended for use on multi-storey projects the waterproofing is said, by the company, to be "inexpensive, fast and easy to apply" allowing finishing traders to continue their work and not have to wait for the roof to be in place. Kemper says that it has the potential to reduce a 30 week project by as much as two months.
