Rubik’s cube roof solved by Contour Roofing and Sika Sarnafil
F
ollowing NFRC Roofing Awards win, Sika Sarnafil Registered Contractor Contour Roofing, has once again been recognised
for its outstanding work, making the shortlist in the Single Ply category. With the success, Ewart Grove, a London
residential new build, Contour was called on again by client Paul Simon Homes to offer a premium waterproofing solution for Cheltenham House. Another new build project in London, comprising of 11 luxury apartments, the entire roof and vertical works are shaped like a Rubik’s Cube – a puzzle that was no match for Contour Roofing’s problem solving skills. Originally specified with metal cladding, the client wished to replicate this look for less cost, while achieving a beautiful finish. Jonathan Woods, Managing Director at Contour, once more proved that Sarnafil’s single ply membranes can accommodate the most complex builds. Contour worked closely with Sika Sarnafil to
generate a bespoke specification with Sika Sarnafil’s recently launched Self Adhered membrane in lead grey, and décor profiles to emulate metal seams.
Custom-made Sarnametal details were cut and fabricated to accommodate the various angle changes on the roof, including vent grills to the base of the cube. Sarnafil’s new spray-applied adhesive Primer
610 was quickly and carefully applied to all the vertical areas, to accommodate the application of the Self Adhered Membrane. The weight of each drop proved extremely challenging, and had to be secured with a peelstop, and fixed at every point with stainless steel SFS fixings. The décor profiles were installed with upmost precision and careful measurement, creating symmetry and uniformity.
Jonathan Woods explained: “Every single detail on this project has been carefully planned before application of the products. Coupled with the wealth of experience invested by our contract manager and award-winning fitters, the project was finished to perfection. “Sarnafil advised us to use the new Primer 610 and Self Adhered membrane and helped us to understand the product with demonstrations at its training academy and our offices. Change is always tough, certainly with experienced fitters, but we insisted that the Self Adhered membrane was paramount for the success of the roofing works at Cheltenham House. The product is quick and easy to use and leaves a beautiful finish to any application it’s used on.” Carly Tang of Paul Simon Homes said: “After the huge success of Ewart Grove, we reached out once more for the services and expertise of Contour and again they did not disappoint. We were able to offer a project well under budget and on time, thanks to the hard work of the team and the innovative Sika Sarnafil Self Adhered product.”

AluFlash from Protect is a versatile weather flashing material for use in construction. It offers a cost-effective alternative to lead, especially given the recent fluctuation in lead prices. Compatible with brickwork, blockwork and common roof materials such as concrete, clay, slate and metal, it requires no specialist tools or skills to install. Aluminium based, it is environmentally friendly and removes the inherent risk of theft associated with lead. Its high-tack butyl adhesive layer enables it to retain the strength of the substrate as well as preventing wind uplift. AluFlash is malleable and available in grey and terracotta. It comes in in two finishes: cross-corrugated for moulding over complex shapes such as profiled roof tiles and corner junctions and also embossed, for applications such as pitched roof valleys and soakers. Being non-toxic it is suitable for rainwater harvesting and water trough systems. AluFlash is supplied in 5m rolls in a variety of widths, minimising wastage and time cutting to size. Unlike lead, no patination oil is required and at less than 2kg, the product is easy to carry. AA fire rated and BM TRADA certified, it is available to buy through merchants and online at
www.bpdstore.co.uk. For more information please contact Protect or visit the website.
