COMPOSITE ROOF CLADDING
Integrated Health Projects Benton Warehouse Roof works
- 1,700m2 Re-roofing using conventional composite roof panels
- 8 week contract duration
Client Problems:
The building had been experiencing large amount of water ingress through the old profiled asbestos cement roof over a long period. The original roof had very low thermal value in comparison with today’s standards and a large amount of heat was being lost through the pitched roof. Thus a combination of a roof that leaked in any inclement weather and one that resulted in excessive heating costs for the company through poor insulation.
Solution:
Asbestos cement profiled roof cladding was removed by a specialist contractor from below the roof level. Roofclad provided a new Kingspan profiled roof system, 115mm composite complete with new insulated gutters, external trimline type gutters, rainwater pipes and a permanent handrail system.
The client has now a Kingspan Ultimate Panel Guarantee covering the structural and thermal performance for a period of up to 25 years and coating performance for a period of up to 30 years.
