Resapol supplies Mapei Purtop for Old Trafford Cricket Ground
I
n early 2023, Steven Smethurst from Owens Builders & Contractors, contacted the Resapol Leigh branch seeking assistance for a balcony waterproofing project at the Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground. They needed a waterproofing solution to protect the balconies located at the pavilion stand, as standing water had been collecting and seeping into the function rooms below.
This water infiltration was causing damage to the ceiling and had the potential to cause even greater harm if not addressed promptly. They therefore required a quick and user- friendly waterproofing system. Resapol Leigh depot’s technical team considered Mapei Purtop Easy as a potential solution. Purtop Easy is a ready-to-use, one- component elastic polyurethane membrane commonly used for waterproofing balconies, terraces, roofs, and areas with pedestrian access, both for new construction and renovations. Its high elasticity and durability make it suitable for application on both horizontal
and vertical surfaces using
brushes, rollers, or trowels. Once applied, Purtop Easy ensures complete waterproofing even at low temperatures and in the presence of standing water, making it the ideal choice for this particular project.
Once the project was approved, the delivery of Purtop Easy system was swiftly arranged from Resapol Leigh, direct to

Advertorial.indd 1 Top marque for Gilberts
The UK premiere of Land Rover’s new branding concept, re-imagining modern luxury design with sustainability, has been unveiled at one of the marque’s most prestigious dealerships, Stratstone Mayfair. The new image for Land Rover meant a similar new image for the retail outlet, which has been a Stratstone location for more than a century. In designing a modern environment that exuded quality, architect Studio Hagger specifi ed Gilberts’ GSLS slot diffusers to supply and extract the showroom ventilation. The combination of two- and four-slot diffusers, installed by Rossair, were powder coated in a subtle cream to blend seamlessly with the understated luxury surroundings that included a specialist polished plaster, providing an appropriate backdrop for the high-end vehicles. Gilberts GSL series has been designed to meet the exacting performance requirements and standards of modern slot diffuser applications. Combining up to date styling and design technology to blend with modern architecture the GSL maintains excellent air distribution characteristics providing smooth, accurate and fl exible airfl ow control through clean, unbroken lines.

Irish Architect, Emmet Murray, designed two stunning and unique homes on the dramatic Irish coast in Waterford for both himself and his brothers’ families. Emmet wanted the homes to be energy effi cient and to take advantage of sustainable energy sources.
Having specifi ed Panasonic air source heat pumps on many other projects, he recognised their quality and capabilities. Working with the builders, both houses are now benefi tting from 16kW Panasonic Aquarea Monobloc T-Cap units to provide a highly energy effi cient heating and domestic hot water system.

Heating and cooling equipment specialist Diffusion’s new Highline 235 modular fan coil range is proving the ideal heating and cooling solution for buildings where noise can be an issue. Noise often tops the list of complaints for hotel guests, but this
issue isn’t confi ned to hotels. Architects and developers of high- end apartments have two main specifi cation requirements when it comes to selecting fan coil units. One is ensuring the best energy effi ciency, the other is ensuring that noise levels are extremely low. The Highline 235 delivers solutions to both of these requirements.

the project site. Work commenced on 11th April 2023; time constraints were crucial as the project needed to be completed within two days of applying the new screed to the balconies. The full Purtop Easy system, consisting of Mapei Polyprimer HB 45, Purtop Easy, and Mapetex FG, was required. The primer played a key role as Purtop Easy could only be applied to substrates with a moisture content of less than 6%. Applying the primer allowed Owens Builders to begin application of the Purtop Easy system earlier, saving them time. Thanks to the ease of application of the Purtop Easy system, the project was successfully completed on 14th April 2023.
