A new concept in hotels focused on delivering a travel experience that marries modern technology with affordability has extended the promise to the roof.
Moxy Hotels is aiming to open 150 hotels in the next decade, of which the first is a seven-story, 200 bedroomed building currently under construction in Aberdeen.
Specialist roofing contractor Procladd is reflecting the brand’s philosophy of marrying modern technology with affordability in the choice of roofing.
Some 1200m² of Protan SE 1.2mm single ply has been bespoke manufactured in white, and prefabricated in made-to-measure lengths and widths for the project.
Procladd’s Stuart Tulloch said: “Protan’s ability to prefabricate the sheet to specific sizes has been an influencing factor, as was the use of Protan’s Proplan software, which enabled calculation of the most effective usage of the prefabricated material to minimize wastage.
Prefabrication significantly reduces the time taken to construct the roof, and the number of laps needed, thus enhancing the roof’s integrity once complete.”
Protan’s prefabricated solution uses the company’s bespoke Proplan software to calculate the most efficient usage of material to minimise waste. The SE single ply membrane is then manufactured according to the plan, and factory-welded in a controlled environment, optimising the integrity and on-site performance of seams. On site, all the contractor has to do is fix along the edges and abutments, and detail round penetrations etc.
Protan SE single ply membrane has been developed to withstand even the harshest weather conditions found in Europe, and is proven to perform for 30 years.
