QA Project reroofing the Llandinam Building, a laboratory on Aberystwyth University's Penglais Campus:
Multiple factors problematised the successful waterproofing of this laboratory refurbishment, including issues with keeping the building itself waterproof while the works progressed.
The laboratory roof has a series of higher levels draining into central chute outlets and discharging onto lower level roofs. These lower roofs have glazing along their entire lengths.
We stripped the existing roof build-up back to concrete, clearing and repairing as necessary in preparation for power washing. We then treated and all metallic surfaces using Sika Primer, coated all surfaces with a vapour control layer, then fitted a mechanically fixed Decotherm Flatboard installation and Decotherm tapered board. We then installed a Sika 20 year Decothane Ultra system to waterproof, seal and finish the entire area.
