The world famous March Stand at Goodwood Racecourse has been overhauled with Decothane Delta 25 - a hardwearing liquid roof coating from high performance weatherproofing supplier Liquid Plastics.
The March Stand had begun to suffer from water ingress and was in need of a solution that was durable, cost effective and, critically, flame free.
Following the claimed success of its cold fusion bonded built-up roofing and inverted roofing systems Liquid Plastics has launched a Green Roof system.
The company says it has recognised the growth of the green roof market and the economic and environmental benefits it can bring.
The new system includes the seamless and cold applied Decothane EC root resistant waterproofing system. This is reinforced with glass fibre matting and once cured a top coat is said to ensure a seamless waterproofing protection, which is guaranteed for 25 years.
Yorkshire Bank Headquaters in Leeds now has a Liquid Plastic's Cold Fusion Bonded Built-up Roofing System. The existing system was stripped back to the concrete beam and block deck and a warm roof construction was installed consisting of a vapour control layer, Decotherm insulation, carrier membrane and a seamless Decothane waterproofing 'cap sheet'. It was adhered using the company's Decostik.
Decothane SP, a cold applied liquid roofing membrane from Liquid Plastics, has earned the Energy Star accreditation from the US Environmental Protection Agency. The roofing membrane met the criteria for initial solar reflectance and maintenance of solar reflectance. It effectively reflects UV rays and emits the majority of heat absorbed resulting in less transference of heat to the building below.
Especially useful for schools where work has to traditionally wait until the school holidays, Liquid Plastics offers the Cold Fusion Bonded Built-up Roofing System fully bonded with Decostik cold fusion adhesive. The zero flame, zero heat system is suitable for any building where hot works are normally used, allowing works to be carried out without having to close or evacuate the building. Cricket Green Community Special School in Mitcham, Surrey has recently employed the new system. The school had an asphalt roof that was allowing leaks into the classrooms below. Asphaltic, the contractor, chose the Cold Fusion system for its speed of installation and cold application. The Asphaltic team laid the flat board installation directly onto the existing asphalt roof, a carrier membrane was then placed over the insulation onto which went the cold applied Decothane seamless ?sap sheet?.
