Roofs are the most exposed area of any building and are susceptible to damage and deterioration, therefore it is essential that they are kept watertight. Belzona Liquid Applied Membrane systems offer unrivalled water and weatherproofing solutions for all types of roofing substrates, complex architectural design and installations.
For over 13 years, ARG (Mansfield) Ltd have worked alongside Belzona Polymerics Limited to provide expert on-site application services of Belzona products. In February 2012, the long established Belzona Authorised Contractor completed an application on a flat roof at an Ambulance Service Resource Centre in the Midlands.
The client had two flat roofs at their service centre which had been subject to leakage. Damage from rainwater as well as the continuous moisture from the adjacent air handling units had caused internal damp problems and required a long term repair to prevent further problems.
ARG (Mansfield) Ltd specified Belzona 3131 (WG Membrane) to repair and protect the flat roofs due to the frequent bad weather experienced over the winter months. Belzona 3131 (WG Membrane) is a single component, moisture activated coating for the long term repair and protection of all types of roofs. It is an easily applied polymer coating which is designed for all weather conditions, and will not be damaged by rain immediately after application.
The application was completed over the course of two days ensuring minimal disruption to the client. The two flat roofs were first made clean and dry and an application of Belzona 3921 (GSC Surface Conditioner) was then applied, which was left to cure overnight. Following this, Belzona 3131 (WG membrane) was applied in two coats incorporating Belzona 9361 (Reinforcing Sheet).
On completion of the application the client expressed how pleased they were with the application and the cost in comparison with the alternative repairs offered to them. For further information on Belzona’s unique polymer repair solutions please visit www.belzona.co.uk
