This prestigious block of apartments overlooks Boscombe Pie and has extensive views of the English Channel.  The client required a durable roof covering offering long life, but able to resist the full force of nature experienced in this exposed position.
 
A Sarnafast mechanically fastened system was selected. This comprised of a bitumen felt vapour control layer fully adhered to a timber deck, overlaid with 120mm Rockwool insulation mechanically fastened.   Copper Green Sarnafil S327-12EL polyester reinforced membrane was loose laid over a seperation layer and secured with the side laps.  The laps were then molecularly fused using hot air. Decorative decor profiles were applied on completion.

 

 

 

Over the years this building has fallen into decay but was still structurally sound.  The fabric of the building was still sound but a new covering to the existing roof was needed.
   
The original mastic asphalt was repaired to form the vapour control layer and then over-laid with polyurethane insulation to current Building regulation requirements and Sarnafil G410-12ELF dark grey membrane fully adhered in Sarnacol 2170 adhesive.
 
The result - a long lasting modern roof covering to protect the refurbished building below.

 

 

 

St. Stephens church was constructed in the 1970's using traditional methods, the roof being constructed of timber joists with chipboard decking and copper sheeting. The roof had appeared to leak for a number of years although this was partly condensation resulting from minimal insulation. A long term solution to the problems was required and after discussions with the architect, it was decided that the original roof coverings required complete replacement.   The copper sheeting and chipboard decking was to be removed sectionally and replaced with 18mm plywood.  This was to be overlaid with a vapour control layer - 50mm Sarnatherm Insulation (to reduce heat loss and minimise condensation) and "copper green" Sarnafil Membrane.  Sarnafil decor profiles were added to recreate an impression of the standing seams of  the original roof.   The overall effect was to match the original as closely as possible.  The guttering was also replaced with maintenance free powder coated aluminium system.  Work was carried out through the winter months and the property remained dry throughout the contract.
