Product News Safe roofing solutions for all your school’s needs Flat roof manufacturer Bauder understands that safety is of utmost importance within the education sector, especially in relation to refurbishing school and academy buildings, which is why all of its industry-leading, high-performance waterproofing solutions have been developed with safety in mind and are installed using the safest installation methods possible by its national network of approved contractors. Critical to Bauder achieving this is being able to identify vulnerable areas during the initial roof survey stage, which is why its comprehensive, no obligation roof evaluations are only conducted by members of its expert team who produce bespoke specifications for your school buildings that ensure the appropriate system and installation methods are adopted on all roof areas and details. This safety-conscious approach not only provides you with assurance that the necessary due diligence has been carried out but also means that your school building can remain fully operational whilst the roofing works are being performed, causing minimal disruption to the school term. Deciding which system is most suitable will depend on a variety of different factors including the configuration of your building’s deck, insulation and details. Each waterproofing type has unique advantages in different contexts and only after a full evaluation of the exact needs of the building will it highlight one as the most suitable. Bauder works closely with you to choose a roofing solution that is tailored exactly to your building’s requirements and school’s budget through its honest and expert roof appraisals. There are three main types of roofing technologies suitable for replacing a flat roof on a school; bitumen felt membrane, cold liquid applied resins and single ply membranes. These system options all deliver safe application techniques and can incorporate insulation upgrades for additional energy savings. Bitumen membrane solutions - Combining the latest generation of self-adhesive membranes, polyurethane adhesives and hot air welding this group of waterproofing systems deliver robust long-term performance waterproofing. Cold liquid applied solutions - These waterproofing systems offer a solution based on liquid resin technology that combines ease of application and fast cure making them suitable for use in all kinds of flat roof and recreational terraced area waterproofing applications. Single ply solutions - These particular single ply membrane systems offer lightweight and fast installations, which are cost effective if there is low funding provision.

Kemper System delivers a lesson in flexibility at Warwick University Many of the buildings on the University of Warwick’s Gibbet Hill Campus were purpose-built when the University was first established more than 50 years ago. Amongst these is the Life Sciences Building which, though structurally sound, was in urgent need of façade repairs. Technical Solution Head of special projects at the University of Warwick’s estates department, Richard Weston said “The cladding remediation was envisaged as ‘temporary’ but we didn’t just want to patch it up; we needed a robust and attractive interim solution. “I’d used Kemper System products for a roofing project in a previous role and had been very impressed with both the product and the technical support the company provided. I didn’t know whether the roofing systems were suitable for façades or whether Kemper had other products to answer the requirement, but decided to see what they suggested.” International Experience While Kemper System had never been involved in such a project in the UK before, the Kemper System team was aware of similar schemes in Europe and visited the site to assess the building’s condition and recommend a suitable approach. Explains Stuart Hicks from Kemper System: “It was clear that the majority of the cladding tiles were still in good order. However, some were at risk of falling, there were gaps where tiles had already been dislodged and there was no homogenous surface to protect against water ingress. “Our advice was to remove and replace any loose tiles or grout and use filler and primer to create a smooth surface, before sealing the tiles in place using Kemper System’s Coetrans liquid resin. This would encapsulate the façade with no need for strip out while the building remained operational.” Minimising Disruption The result is a completed façade that retains the building’s familiar black and white aesthetic while repairing the original structure. Richard adds: “By working with Kemper System we were able to take an innovative and cost-effective approach to updating the look and condition of the building with a liquid system that was ideally suited to following the unique shape of its tiles, columns and alcoves. It meant that we could continue to use the building throughout the programme. This is an approach we’ll consider again in the future.” www.kempersystem.co.uk 44 Summer 2O17 <strong>4150</strong>
