The challenge of flat roofs – form follows function

A flat roof is not just defined by its lack of or very slight inclination of less than 10°. All roofs which require waterproofing are classed as flat roofs. This includes domed roofs, sawtooth roofs, design-based suspended roofs, VT gabled roofs, “butterfly roofs”, HP shell roofs. The supporting substructure is usually identical to the upper ceiling. Long-term waterproofing is imperative for flat roofs which are permanently subjected to climatic and temperature extremes and various mechanical stress.

KEMPEROL – for new buildings and refurbishment
Moisture damage, the refurbishing of previous substandard refurbishment works, production downtimes or idle periods all cost money. Besides application as a maintenance or refurbishment solution, builders are now putting their trust in reli-able solutions from the word go. Increased inspection intervals, maintenance contracts and, in accordance with ETAG 005, a guaranteed service life of 25 years offer long-term protection – from the very start.
