The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service depot in Newbridge, Edinburgh, has been equipped with a new training centre. The 800m² ‘TSB’ building required a waterproof roof system that not only offered long-term protection against the elements, it needed to be quick to install and flexible enough to accommodate a number of The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service depot in Newbridge. roofing details. Sika-Trocal’s fully-bonded SGK membrane system proved more than ideal for the task. Main contractor Robertson Construction appointed Reid Roof to carry-out the flat roof’s installation. Work initially involved applying Sika S-Vap 5000E SA, a multi-layer, self-adhesive air and vapour control layer, to the low-pitched roof’s concrete substrate. Comprising polymer-modified bitumen, glass-fibre mat reinforcement and an aluminum foil as top layer, S-Vap’s superb strength enables simple, rapid installation and exemplary, airtight roof construction. A layer of Sika-Trocal INNObond, a durable, easy-to-apply, highperforming insulation board, provided a quality thermal base for the SGK membrane. As well as supplying high tensile strength, Sika-Trocal SGK provides outstanding weathering and excellent flexibility in cold temperatures, which along with its easy-fit benefits make it the ideal membrane for exposed flat roofs. The light-grey membrane was affixed using the Sika-Trocal spray-adhesive range and Sika-Trocal SG, a 1.5mm multi-layer, synthetic roof waterproofing sheet, provided the aesthetically-pleasing solution for the roof’s various vertical upstands. https://gbr.sika-trocal.sika.com MARLEY ALUTEC’S FLYING HIGH Marley Alutec’s aluminium Aligator Ogee 46 gutter system and Traditional downpipes were specified for the renovation of Reymerston Hall, previously home to James Bond stunt man and Wing Commander, Sir Ken Wallis. Marley Alutec’s systems were used on the renovation of Reymerston Hall. Marley Alutec’s Aligator Ogee No 46 gutter system was used on the majority of the house due to its internal joints and concealed brackets offering a sleek and unobtrusive solution for the building’s traditional architecture. Traditional 102mm downpipes were installed on the rear of the property, to match the building’s existing but refurbished cast iron hoppers. Both systems were selected in white to match the colour of the original rainwater systems used on the property. www.marleyalutec.co.uk PRO-TECTA & SERVE METAL ROOFS Sika Liquid Plastics has launched the Sika Pro-Tecta range of systems; a complete solution for metal roof refurbishment. “With the Sika Pro-Tecta range, we have developed a range of refurbishment coatings for metal roofs, from the treatment of cut edge corrosion, through to full waterproofing systems.” The new range includes both a cut-edge corrosion treatment option and a full roof sheet encapsulation system, backed by guarantees. Gavin White, Sika Liquid Plastics’ Product Manager for Liquid Applied Membranes, explained: “As a market leader in liquid applied roof membranes, Sika Liquid Plastics has developed the Sika Pro-Tecta range to provide a choice of two solutions, depending on the condition and design of the roof, to extend its service life.” https://gbr.liquidplastics.sika.com/ HISTORIC DAY ON CURRENT PROJECT A new housing development in the heart of Ashbourne, Derbyshire has benefitted from Russell Roof Tiles’ popular Lothian tile, helping to ensure the scheme remains in-keeping with the characteristics and natural local architecture of the area. Russell Roof Tiles specified its Lothian concrete pitched roof tiles in Slate Grey slate for this housing development in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. Planning requirements stipulate that any roof tile must replicate the slate, stone materials used in this area. Therefore, when Chevin Homes, based in Derby, began a 35 detached and semi-detached housing development, they worked closely with leading roof tile manufacturer, Russell Roof Tiles to achieve the right roofing solution, sympathetic to the local area. www.russellrooftiles.com 68 TC SEPTEMBER <strong>2019</strong>
