Before the correct coating system could be specified, Tor Coatings carried out a comprehensive free survey of the site to ensure every aspect of the project was clearly understood and all defects were documented thoroughly.

The client sought a solution that was not only cost-effective but also easy to apply and caused minimal disruption to the building’s operations. After careful consideration, the Elastaseal Z20 coating was chosen as the ideal option for the overlay project. Its durability, efficiency, and suitability for seamless application made it the perfect choice to meet the client’s needs and expectations.

Installation work was carried out by TP Surfacing and Coatings. The implementation phase prepared each roof’s existing single-ply membrane. This involved a thorough cleaning using a high-pressure washer to remove any dirt and debris, followed by a series of repairs to address any potential weaknesses. No primers were required for the single-ply membrane, however metal and porous surfaces were primed appropriately. During application, a strategic approach was used to ensure effective waterproofing around machinery feet and total cover around parapet walls.

Elastaseal Z comes with a 20 year guarantee and Tor Coatings will conduct site visits in the 1st, 5th, 10th, and 15th years after project completion to inspect the integrity of the membrane.
