The Main Contractor ABM Construction secured the contract. The team at ABM Construction were keen to select the right materials for the job and undertook a process to provide the most cost effective roofing solution whilst not jeopardizing on quality and a bespoke RAL colour to reflect old Copper Green.
The IKO Armourplan SM150 Waterproofing System was approved for the roof after stringent technical analysis and due diligence by the architects – Oppermann Associates. The D60 metal deck was a perfect structure to receive an Armourplan single ply pvc warm roof system.
IKO Spectravap was loosed laid and all laps taped and sealed with our bituminous Hyload tape. The Kingspan TR26 ALU Insulation was mechanically fixed to the D60 Metal Deck. The IKO Armourplan SM150 (1.5mm) was Isowelded to the fixing plates and a standing seam profile installed at 500mm centres.
Armourplan SM150 is a 1.5mm thick reinforced PVC single ply roofing membrane which forms a sleek skin on many types of roof application.
