New Roofing products UpdatesINVERG IS IN DEMANDFor further updates visit www.total-contractor.co.uk“I’ll be using it on all plain tile projects going forward.” That’s the opinion of one of the first contractors totry a ‘game changing’ solution for finishing the verge on plain tile roofs.Xaver Roofing had just won the contract to roof a large private build when Hambleside Danelaw launched InVerg, theunique interlocking dry verge system for plain tiles. As a committed Danelaw customer, MD Andrew Mohr proposedthe InVerg system to the client, who was happy to try it: “The client and I are really impressed”, explained Andrew. “It looks great! A lot of contractors aretrying to move away from mortar altogether but there’s been nothing on the market that looks good for a plain tile dry verge – until now. InVerg is so simple touse, and it eliminates all the usual issues that come with conventional wet bedding, which are amplified when you’re trying to neaten the edges of a plain tileroof where there is so little space. I will use InVerg wherever possible going forward.”Above: InVerg has a 15 year service lifeguarantee, and is available in a range of colours.InVerg provides a fully BS8612 compliant, cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing solution to finishing the verge and eliminating the risk of water ingress at theroof edge and minimising any staining of the gable end. Suitable to use for most machine-made single and double cambered plain tiles, InVerg is quick and easyto mechanically fix in place. Its unique design enables two courses to be finished at once, without the need for any tile undercloak, and is suitable for battengauges from 88mm to 104mm, while removing the need for time-consuming and weather dependent mortar application. www.hambleside-danelaw.co.uk‘LOOK, QUALITY AND LONGEVITY’CUPA PIZARRAS’ CUPA 18 natural slate has been used to achieve a high-quality finish on threeluxury, modern, new build properties in one of the most desirable areas of Whitstable in Kent.Island Wall: CUPA 18 is a lighter grey slate with a smoothmatt surface and has a superior, homogenous finish withonly minor variations allowed in the thickness and flatnessof the slate. The slate roofs were installed by Bates (Kent).The new properties, built by Kapra Developments, are located in Island Wall, Whitstable. Kim Brown,Director at Kapra Developments, explained: “For the properties on Island Wall, the quality of thematerials was very important and the coastal location meant that a durable product was essential. Wehad used CUPA PIZARRAS’ products on previous projects and so we were confident that the CUPA 18slate would provide the look, quality and longevity we wanted.” www.cupapizarras.com/ukNEW DESIGN GUIDE FROM LRWAThe Liquid Roofing and Waterproofing Association (LRWA) has produced a new design guideoffering extensive technical information and advice to help specifiers correctly select liquidproducts and systems.Above: the LRWA’s Design Guide for Specifiers - LiquidApplied Waterproofing Systems for Roof and Balconies.Sarah Spink, CEO of the LRWA, explained: “The versalityof liquid applied systems means they are now a leadingsolution for both new build and refurbishment projects.With more specifiers turning to liquids, we wanted tomake sure that comprehensive technical guidance isreadily available. We would urge specifiers to takeadvantage of this new Guide and also ensure they verifythe performance of a liquid waterproofing product orsystem via third party certifications.”Drawing on more than 40 years’ experience and extensive research, the LRWA’s Design Guide forSpecifiers – Liquid Applied Waterproofing Systems for Roof and Balconies – has been produced bythe association’s technical committee, comprising representatives from across its membership,including manufacturers, contractors and associate members.The Design Guide covers the waterproofing of all types of flat roof, balcony and walkway, includingassociated fittings and construction using systems manufactured by LRWA members. Best practiceadvice is provided on a wide range of specification factors such as the performance criteria for liquidsystems, design considerations, and the materials that may be used as part of a roof build-up.

One area coveredextensively within the Guide is in relation to fire safety requirements and performance.
