Install the new Garland StressPly Flex Plus waterproofing system, with thermal upgrade tapered insulation system, removing and installing new roof lights, UPVC Windows, Structural Glazed Rooflight & Trespa Cladding.

St. Augustine Catholic Church · Flat Roof Refurbishment
Client: SDA Consulting
System: IKO Ultra Prevent
Project Details: The project was an overlay (stripping the details) and installing IKO's Ultra Prevent Guardian felt system, with no thermal upgrade. Further to this we removed the existing roof lights and replaced them with new modular UPVC. The windows were in need of replacing, however, due to project circumstance this wasn’t viable so we worked with the client to come up with a more suitable option. In the end, we cleaned, prepped and painted the existing windows and then installed a twin poly carbonate sheet to the face of the windows to give them a refreshed and new look.
