Project:  Palatine Learning & Resource Centre, Blackpool

Client:  Cassidy and Ashton, Architects, Preston

Product/System:  Decothane SP 25 year Built up Roofing System & Monolastex Smooth Wall Coating System

Size:  300m²

Problem:  This was a new build project which called for a circular roof area, laid to falls with good thermal peroperties and a design life of at least 25 years.  Feature walls around the roof area required coating in architect specified strong blue shades to complement the design of the building,

Solution:  The Decothane SP 25 year built up roofing sustem was specified and Gables, a quality assured waterproofing contractor for Liquid Plastics Ltd, installed a plywood deck, 90mm of polyurethane insulation and a vapour barrier followed by the application of the Decothane Delta 25 system.

Coating work to the feature walls was undertaken with Monolastex Smooth in special shades of blue, to weatherproof the building against the extreme climatic conditions experienced on the Fylde coastline.

Product/System:  Liquid Plastics Ltd - Decothane SP

Size:  600m2

Problem:  The school experienced water ingress through various of its felted flat roofs.  These roofs had become degraded over the years and were suffering from the effects of ponded water.  Typical problem areas for Gables to address were felt blisters, split joints, previous failed repairs and stone chippings.

Solution:  Gables removed all stone chippings and cleared and repaired drainage outlets.  The whole area was power washed to remove all dirt and debris and then a full Liquid Plastic's Decothane Beta 10 System was applied.  This is cold, liquid applied to give the client a watertight, waterproof roof, guaranteed against future water ingress for a minimum of 10 years.
