Seamsil, the cut edge corrosion treatment, has been used to reinstate the integrity of the profiled steel roof covering the 318,526 ft2 Celestia warehouse in Snelshall West, Milton Keynes. Originally constructed in 2007 on a 14-acre site, the facility reportedly provides high specification space located in a strategic position close to the A421 dual carriageway, which allows direct access to the M1 motorway.
Delcote HPG was also utilised as part of the same project to recoat and refurbish the gutters throughout the warehouse.
The Celestia warehouse contract was awarded to and carried out by Kettles, a local approved applicator with extensive experience in using Delvemade products.
Giromax, the sole distributor and administrator of the Delvemade Silicone Protective Coatings Programme, oversaw the whole project.
Seamsil is the external repair system for cut edge corrosion on profiled Plastisol/PVDF coated steel roof sheeting. Invented and developed by Delvemade over 20 years ago with the full co-operation of BSC (now Tata Steel), Seamsil is said to provide an effective long-term solution to edge corrosion in critical roof overlaps and gutter overhangs, which if not treated quickly and effectively can lead to leaks and eventually to partial or complete roof replacement.
Delcote HPG is a single component, silicone coating, manufactured by Delvemade, for the refurbishment of galvanised steel, aluminium, concrete and asbestos cement gutters. Used in conjunction with Seamsil 300 (defective joints), the coating system reportedly offers a seamless solution to long-term weatherproofing of gutter surfaces.
