Mitigating Condensation Risk at St Catherine’s Court

< 1 min

St Catherine’s Court in Chiswick, West London provided a complex roofing challenge consisting of a deteriorating asphalt roof overlying a non insulated concrete deck.

These conditions created a high risk of condensation and had reduced the building’s energy efficiency. PROTEUS
WATERPROOFING was asked to provide a solution that not only addressed these issues, but also extended the roof’s lifespan, while minimising disruption to residents.

By combining technical expertise with a deep understanding of the client’s needs, Proteus successfully delivered a robust and durable roofing system for client Michael Richards & Co, the property management company, who needed a cost-effective solution to extend the roof’s lifespan as well as addressing a serious insulation issue.

After careful consideration, the Proteus Pro-Felt Endura AIRdhesive Built-Up Roof system was selected. Health and safety were paramount throughout the project. The system’s cold application method significantly reduced
the potential of on-site fire risks compared to hot- or flame-applied systems. In addition, Proteus Waterproofing worked closely with Capital Roofing Ltd, the contractor, to ensure the project was delivered to the highest standards.

The Proteus Pro-Felt Endura AIRdhesive Built-Up Roof system proved to be an ideal solution for St Catherine’s Court. Its cold-applied nature offered several advantages over traditional hot-applied systems. he system’s robust construction, combining insulation, air vapour control layer and a durable cap sheet, provided a comprehensive waterproofing solution. This not only protected the building from water ingress but also enhanced its thermal
performance, conforming to the latest Building Regulations.
