Less Waste, More Speed
18th August 2009 – Liquid Plastics, pioneer of cold applied roofing systems, has launched its Decotherm pre-mitred tapered insulation as part of the Cold Fusion Bonded Built-Up Roof System.
Waste on site can be reduced by up to 50% using pre-mitred boards, which also helps to lower waste disposal costs as there are no off-cuts. In addition, this helps to minimise the environmental impact of the project and allows for quicker installation – ultimately also reducing labour costs.
“Using tapered insulation rather than a screed to fall or firrings is a relatively simple and considerably more cost effective solution to the problems associated with ponding water on flat roofs,” comments Mike Bradbury, Liquid Plastics’ industry expert. “It can also enhance the life expectancy of the roof system and minimise weight loadings on the structure.”
The Cold Fusion Bonded Built-Up Roof System provides a zero flame, zero heat roofing solution with a liquid applied Decothane waterproof membrane and guarantees of up to 25 years. And now with the pre-mitred tapered insulation, installation just got even easier.
Liquid Plastics’ Decotherm PIR tapered insulation is available in 1:60, 1:80, and 1:120 falls providing a full range of options for all types of flat roofs.
Before a project begins Liquid Plastics’ fully trained roofing consultants conduct a comprehensive roof survey to determine which system is most suitable. The information gathered during the survey then allows the in-house design team to offer a full service including system drawings, U-Value calculations, and condensation risk analysis – all in accordance with current building regulations and standards.
