Notable benefits
The Fatra roof at the new development in Ancoats benefits from the installation of the Fatra FF810 mechanically fixed single ply membrane waterproofing system. The FF810 is a 1.3 metre wide membrane which reduces the amount of on-site welding by 25% when compared to traditional 1.0 metre wide products. Incorporating green roof and solar PV panel areas, the roof’s design enhances the environmentally friendly and forward-thinking appeal of the construction.
The Fatra FF810 membrane is suitable for a wide range of roofing applications including solar PV panels and green roofs, as illustrated here. This is exactly the type of versatility that our client requires, ensuring the roof space can be put to positive use without compromising the guarantee or the integrity of the waterproofing.
