LIQUID GOLD AS TEAM SCOOPS ROOFING AWARD

Published on 14/06/2016

Leading liquid roofing manufacturer Centaur Technologies and roofing contractor Western Flat Roofing Company have been crowned as the winners in the Liquid Roofing and Waterproofing category at the prestigious UK Roofing Awards 2016.

The two firms won the coveted award for a challenging refurbishment project at Exeter University. The scheme used Centaur Technologies’ Centech PU 25 liquid roofing system and was completed by approved contractor Western Flat Roofing Company in just four weeks.

Phil Richardson, Managing Director of Centaur Technologies, said: “Despite the wealth of experience that our team has in the liquid roofing industry, our business is a relative newcomer, so we were absolutely delighted to take first place in this category.

“We work closely with specifiers, contractors and building owners to develop complete systems, which are tailored to their needs. This award highlights our commitment to best practice within the industry and the emphasis we place on attention to detail and the quality we demand at every stage of a project.”

The original asphalt roof on the South Cloisters roof at Exeter University, which was covered in chippings, was overlaid with a new Centech PU 25 system to provide a seamless roof and allow water to drain from the surface.

The scheme required complex detailing around ducts, ventilation pipes and rooflights. Western Flat Roofing also replaced all 31 rooflights with Centech triple glazed rooflights and installed a freestanding edge barrier to allow safe access to the roof for future plant maintenance. An anti-slip walkway was also installed. A 25-year guarantee for labour and materials was provided on completion of the project.

The Centech PU formulation combines the characteristics of a traditional aromatic system with an aliphatic pre-polymer backbone to deliver superb performance and colourfastness. The system offers guaranteed waterproofing characteristics and is quick and easy to apply.
