A new, premium apartment building at Center Parcs, Elveden Forest, has been roofed with materials from UK-based single ply manufacturer IKO Polymeric.
Roofing contractor UK Waterproofing used Armourplan P single ply membrane, IKO enertherm PIR insulation board and Spectravap (as the Vapour Control Layer) to waterproof the 2,000m² roof.
The property has 48 apartments and sits within 400 acres of beautiful Suffolk countryside, and aesthetics and quality were important considerations in its design and build.
UK Weatherproofing Solutions had used Armourplan SM (mechanically-fixed) and SG (fleece-backed) roofing membranes previously and the performance and ease of installation were key factors in using IKO Polymeric products again. The company says Armourplan P PVC membrane was chosen this time thanks to the extended guarantees it provides.
IKO says that, as a result of having higher polymer content throughout (even on the lower layers) and high performance reinforcement, this membrane offers enhanced benefits over standard PVC membranes such as ease of welding and more durability.
