external fixtures A+ rating for cold applied liquid roofing
The LRWA (Liquid Roofing and Waterproofing Association) is once again leading the liquid water- proofing industry forwards as it worked closely with the BRE to develop a generic Ecopoint rating for three types of liquid waterproofing – polyurethanes, PMMA’s and polyesters. Liquid waterproofing is the fastest
growing sector in the flat roofing industry, and therefore it is critical that specifiers have the comprehensive information they need in order to appropriately specify what can be highly sustainable waterproofing systems. The Green Guide to Specification uses Life Cycle Assessment to provide environmental ratings for building products. These Ecopoints contribute towards a building element’s overall BREEAM rating.
enq.179 RigiSystems on the right track
Around 3,000 sq m of one of RigiSystems Creative Profiles were used to create a contem- porary look and feel to the fourth span of Paddington Station’s roof. The fourth span was added in 1916 to Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s original three-span design, but it fell into
disrepair in the 1990s. Contractor Morgan Sindall had the daunting task of cre- ating the new structure on the Grade 1 listed building, serving up to 180,000 pas- sengers a day, while keeping six platforms operational and watertight. The result is a triumph. The ‘saw tooth’ profile, in 1.2mm thickness steel, is plastisol coated on both sides in Goosewing Grey on the outside and Terracotta on the inside.

Gradient Flat Roofing has issued a new technical bulletin which illustrates how its single-layer, thermal insulation roofing solutions can be used to achieve impressive acoustic insulation levels. The Flat Roof Acoustic Solutions publication shows how both airborne and rain impact noise can be reduced by a Gradient single-layer flat roofing solution, while still delivering significant benefits in terms of thermal insulation and project costs. Airborne and rain impact noise can exert a large influence on the
design of a flat roof. This is especially true when designing for education and health sector buildings where indoor acoustic comfort is a particular requirement.

project. The new 2,100 sq m building, at Northern Express’ site on the Burn Hall Industrial Estate, has been constructed in response to recent business growth by the company, established in 1993. The roofs and walls of the building incorporate 3,400 linear metres of Steadmans AS35 insulated panels, 80mm and 60mm thick respectively, in goosewing grey.
