Hot Melt Waterproofing
Hot Melt Waterproofing provides a durable, self-healing monolithic membrane with 100% adhesion to concrete substrates. Ideal for protected roofs, green roofs, and plaza decks, it combines modified bitumen and synthetic rubbers for long-term performance. The system offers seamless application and self-healing properties for enhanced durability in commercial and residential projects.
Single Ply Waterproofing
Single Ply Waterproofing delivers lightweight, flexible solutions available in mechanically fastened, adhered, or ballasted forms. These systems enhance aesthetics while offering vibrant alternatives to traditional metal roofing. With rapid installation and versatility in detailing, they provide economical, reliable options for new builds and refurbishments, supported by extended manufacturer guarantees.
Cold Applied Liquid Waterproofing
Cold Applied Liquid Waterproofing offers seamless, low-disruption solutions for occupied buildings and complex roofscapes. Our NVQ-qualified installers ensure precision application, resolving intricate details without heat. This method guarantees a 'right first time' approach, ideal for balconies, plant rooms, and roofs with existing penetrations.
Facade Systems
Facade Systems provide stylish, energy-efficient cladding solutions with options like composite panels and rainscreen facades. Designed to meet strict air leakage standards, they offer aesthetic flexibility and weatherproofing. Early design collaboration ensures optimal performance and compliance with evolving regulatory requirements.
