CARLISLE®s RESITRIX® bitumen-backed EPDM system has been used for the flat roof areas of the prestigious St Andrews West development in Fife, Scotland.
RESITRIX is the only waterproofing membrane that combines the advantages of EPDM’s permanent elasticity with the durability of high-quality, polymer-modified bitumen in a single membrane. The self-adhesive membrane can be laid onto almost any substrate, offering flame-free installation. The laps are sealed using hot-air welding, reducing risk during the build phase, while providing a service life of 70+ years.
The flat roof areas at St Andrews West form link roofs between pitched roof structures, and there are also several dormers within the pitched roofs.
The integrity of the interfaces between the flat and pitched roof sections was critical, and the combination of an experienced contractor, and the versatility of the RESITRIX system meant that these complex details could be completed neatly and with reliable performance.
The RESITRIX waterproofing system was installed to a high standard and finish, meeting the requirements of the prestigious project.
CARLISLE provided consistent and proactive on-site support to ensure the RESITRIX system was optimally tailored to the project’s unique design challenges, delivering real-time problem-solving, clarification of technical queries and best practice guidance.
With a collaborative and meticulous approach, the contractor and CARLISLE were able to achieve the highest standards of precision and quality.
