Background
Calderlea Medical Centre were looking for a long-term waterproofing solution to their critically failing metal roof panel system. To meet minimal disruption targets in order to allow the practice to remain open during the difficult challenges from the recent pandemic, Fatra was used.
This refurbishment roofing project consisted of cold flat roof and vertical roof areas, totalling 722m2. Local Fatra approved installer Hi-Spec Roofing Systems Ltd, in conjunction with J Shearer Roofing Ltd, was employed to carry out the waterproofing works for this project.
Notable benefits
For the roof refurbishment, the existing metal roof panel system was removed and a new 18mm plywood deck installed. The Fatra FF801 300g/m2 geo-textile protection fleece was used in conjunction with the lap-fixed Fatra FF810 single ply membrane.
One noteworthy benefit of using the lap-fixed Fatra FF810 membrane system is that it is quick to install, having fixing centres of 150mm along the laps. The vertical roof area was completed with Fatra FF814 standing-seam profiles, creating a nice visual finish.
Hi-Spec Roofing Systems Ltd completed the project in September 2021 and it was delivered with the benefit of a 20 year product guarantee.
Fatra FF810 is available from Fatra UK Ltd and can only be installed by Fatra trained and licensed contractors.
