ROOFING SYSTEMS
PITCHED ROOF SYSTEMS
PITCHED ROOF SYSTEMS
PITCHED ROOF SYSTEMS
Description: Sloped roofs, typically covered with tiles (clay, concrete, or slate) or slates, designed to shed water effectively in the UK’s wet climate.
Applications: Common in residential, commercial, and heritage buildings.
Advantages: Durable, weather-resistant, and aesthetically versatile.
Examples: Traditional slate roofs, tiled roofs, or metal standing seam systems for modern designs.
FLAT ROOF SYSTEMS
PITCHED ROOF SYSTEMS
PITCHED ROOF SYSTEMS
Description: Low-slope or flat roofs using materials like single-ply membranes (e.g., EPDM, TPO), built-up roofing (BUR), or modified bitumen.
Applications: Widely used in commercial, industrial, and modern residential buildings.
Advantages: Cost-effective, easy to maintain, and suitable for large surface areas.
Examples: EPDM rubber roofing, GRP (fiberglass), or hot-melt systems.
GREEN ROOF SYSTEMS
PITCHED ROOF SYSTEMS
GREEN ROOF SYSTEMS
Description: Eco-friendly roofs with vegetation layers over waterproof membranes, often incorporating drainage and insulation systems.
Applications: Public sector buildings (e.g., NHS facilities), commercial developments, and urban projects aiming for sustainability.
Advantages: Enhances insulation, reduces carbon emissions, and supports biodiversity.
Examples: Extensive (lightweight, low-maintenance) or intensive (deeper soil, more planting options) green roofs.
METAL ROOF SYSTEMS
BUILT-UP FELT SYSTEMS
GREEN ROOF SYSTEMS
Description: Lightweight, durable roofs using materials like zinc, aluminium, or steel, often in standing seam or corrugated forms.
Applications: Commercial, industrial, and modern architectural projects.
Advantages: Long lifespan, low
maintenance, and recyclable.
Examples: Zinc standing seam, copper roofing, or profiled metal sheets.
LIQUID ROOF SYSTEMS
BUILT-UP FELT SYSTEMS
BUILT-UP FELT SYSTEMS
Description: Seamless, waterproof coatings (e.g., polyurethane, acrylic, or silicone) applied directly to the roof surface.
Applications: Refurbishments, flat roofs, and complex roof designs.
Advantages: Flexible, easy to apply, and ideal for repairs or overlays.
Examples: Liquid-applied membranes like Sikalastic or Kemper System.
BUILT-UP FELT SYSTEMS
BUILT-UP FELT SYSTEMS
BUILT-UP FELT SYSTEMS
Description: Multi-layered systems using bitumen or asphalt felts, often torch-applied or adhered with adhesives.
Applications: Commercial and industrial flat roofs.
Advantages: Cost-effective, reliable, and suitable for heavy foot traffic.
Examples: Traditional three-layer felt systems or modern torch-on membranes.
