Balconies and Roof Gardens
This balcony terrace area in the village of Waunfawr, a little to the north-east of Aberystwyth, was in need of refurbishment. Balconies tend to degrade faster than many other areas of roof owing not only to the fact they get walked on more often but also because they are flat, which can result in pooling of water and damp. Because of this, a good surface is crucial - ideally something not only weatherproof and waterproof but fireproof, anti-…
This balcony terrace roof in Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales was pooling so much water it had become dangerous, especially for access to the outdoor steps coming down off it. As well as being year-round slip hazards, ponding and pooling result in increased weight pressure on the roof and hugely increase the risk of damp and water ingress to whatever is below.
The polymer system is quick to install, jointless and seamless…
Bronnant or Bronant Primary School located between Aberystwyth and Tregaron in Ceredigion. A section of lead work sandwiched awkwardly between various roofs had split, exposing the substrate to the elements. We have worked on many schools around Ceredigion, thanks to the polymer system's uniquely low-impact process as well as the speed of installation. The system causes so little disruption that activities can usually be continued in the…
Aberystwyth Castle is a historically important, thirteenth century Grade 1 Listed Building on the West Wales coast. A combination of tourist footfall and its windy, exposed position at the sea front gives it much to stand up to, throughout its large grounds.
The concrete walkway, located within the area of the castle grounds closest to the sea, was in a bad way, with a large and obvious chunk of weaker surfacing apparent (see photos)…
This unusual seven-sided balcony terrace area in Bude in North Cornwall was leaking and in need in refurbishment.
This terrace refurb case study again demonstrates how flexible the polymer system can be and how well its jointless and seamless "perfect forming" nature is suited to sites that might prove challenging for many other systems.
The entire area was coated in a 20 year waterproofing and quartz system which maintained the…
This terrace refurb case study demonstrates just how flexible the polymer system can be. This smart property in Lexham Gardens in South Kensington, London W8, had several exterior areas showing significant signs of degradation and pooling. These ranged from very narrow areas fronting the property to a patio seating area providing usable outdoor space.
The entire area was coated in a 20 year Sika polymer system combining a white quartz…
