Product/System:  Tor Coatings Ltd - Elastaseal 10 Year System

Size:  200m²

Problem:  The felt on the roof area was showing signs of deterioration and as a result water was penetrating into the classroom below.  The work had to be done during term time which meant that stripping the existing roof and the use of hot bitumen materials was a real concern and an alternative had to be found.

Solution:  The deck was power washed to remove all contamination and any blisters in the existing felt were cut open and re-adhered to provide a substrate suitable for coating.  A Tor Coatings' Elastaseal 10 year  system was applied to the roof to provide a durable, waterproof membrane.
