REFURB CHALLENGE OVERCOME<br />
Flat roofing fastening solutions from SFS, including its isoweld 3000 system, have been used at the<br />
refurbishment of the University of Chester’s Energy Centre.<br />
The new roof specification required the application of new insulation to upgrade the thermal performance and a new<br />
single ply waterproofing membrane. Working with Range Roofing, the solutions provided by SFS included its TIA<br />
adjustable fastener in combination with the isoweld 3000 heat induction welding system. This fastener system<br />
included specially coated isoweld stress plates combined with 230mm and 300mm FI-R-20 sleeves and the 150mm<br />
The University of Chester’s Energy Centre:<br />
long TIA fastener. These were installed through the insulation and screed layers and were mechanically fastened into This building’s flat roofing refurbishment<br />
the concrete substrate. The fasteners were applied through the insulation boards in a field fix grid pattern followed by project benefited from the use of the isoweld<br />
3000 system from SFS.<br />
the Protan SE single ply waterproofing membrane, which was then installed using the specialist isoweld 3000 system,<br />
welding the membrane directly onto the isoweld stress plates. This provided an extremely secure fix, without having to “duplicate” fasteners, and the<br />
associated drilling, and without the need to penetrate the waterproof membrane as would be necessary on seam fix systems. www.sfsintec.co.uk<br />
