| Ward Insulated
Panels has teamed up with roofing contractors Cladanco Ltd to supply and
install 750m2 of Ward Topdek, an all-in-one single-ply insulated
roofdeck, for the showroom of the new Porsche dealership on Manchester
Road in Bolton. |
 |
| Ward
Topdek is a factory pre-engineered composite roofdeck that facilitates
faster on-site assembly. |
| It
comprises a high-performance single-ply PVC outer membrane integrally
bonded to a FIREsafe rigid PIR insulation core approved to LPBC
standards and a steel trapezoidal profile inner deck to provide
structural strength. |
| As
the original all-in-one single-ply roofing solution, Topdek replaces the
multi-stage process of laying steel decking, a vapour control layer,
insulation and outer membrane with one simple installation which,
compared to traditional built up roofing systems, is proving to be up to
50% faster to install. A new self-coring screw unique to Topdek
speeds up the installation process even further. |
| The
pitched section of the roof was completed with 1,000m2 of Ward DR1000
secret-fixed roof panels. |
| Gary
March, managing director of Cladanco Ltd, commented: The speed of
installation on this project was remarkable. The use of the SFS
self-coring fastener is thought to have saved almost one third of the
installation time, considerably reducing labour costs meaning the
project was completed on schedule and to budget. |
