The specification of flat roofing systems can sometimes be made complicated by the involvement of multiple manufacturers catering to different elements of the roof build up. This can lead to inefficiencies throughout the project timeline, ultimately contributing to delays and potential issues in relation to system performance.
Here at Polyroof, we operate a streamlined approach to flat roofing specification, offering a single source support solution for specifiers working on built-up-roof (BUR) projects.
Below we outline some of the key benefits to collaborating with a flat roof manufacturer who provides solutions for the full BUR system:
1. Single Source of Technical Support
Receiving a singular source of support from your flat roofing system waterproofing manufacturer helps to streamline the project lifecycle, significantly improving efficiency around design, installation, onsite support, and then some. Polyroof is proud to offer support to our customers on each and every project through our dedicated technical services team, who strive to assist at every stage of the project to ensure optimum results. From specification writing, to calculations, and assistance with bespoke cut to falls schemes, Polyroof’s single source of technical know-how ensures seamless installation of our flat roofing systems.
2. Comprehensive Guarantees
Subject to specification, collaborating with a single manufacturer for your BUR project can enable you to benefit from a full system guarantee, as opposed to specifying the individual elements of the BUR system separately. In cases where the latter is chosen, this will result in you having to seek separate guarantees for each element of the roofing system. This can cause headaches should the system encounter any issues, as it may prove difficult to accurately identify the source of the problem . It also presents the risk of conflicting clauses in different guarantees, potentially invalidating your system’s cover.
By working with Polyroof and subject to specification as well as final inspection, upon completion of installation your BUR system can receive a guarantee for up to 25 years. Polyroof guarantees cover both the material and installation , providing specifiers with added assurance that the system will be fully covered should any issues subsequently arise.
3. Durable, Long-Lasting Protection
Another benefit of specifying a BUR system from a single manufacturer, is the ease of ensuring durable, long-lasting protection that will serve the building on which the system is installed for many years to come. The manufacturer will initially conduct a site survey to analyse the condition of the current roof build up, enabling them to identify any areas of concern and subsequently recommend the most appropriate course of action.
Polyroof’s BUR system solutions all comprise of our industry leading cold-applied liquid waterproofing membranes, a number of which hold BBA certification for a projected lifespan of at least 30 years. By specifying a Polyroof system, you can rest assured that the installed solution will provide long-term performance and protection for the roof as well as the wider building.
