Roof Design & Renovation

challenge

Located in the heart of Liverpool’s heritage area, this Georgian terrace property was once derelict and in need of a complete rebuild. The new building had to be designed with respect to the historical architecture of the local area, and AAC Waterproofing was brought on board to assist with the design process and build of the roof section.

our approach

To maintain the traditional aesthetic of the local area, we proposed a single-ply membrane with standing seams for the mansard roof. The selected waterproofing system was the Protan 1.6mm SE membrane, which was mechanically fixed through a 90mm PUR insulation board and LDPE vapour control layer into the metal deck. By using two different shades of membrane, we were able to accentuate the dormer windows within the rooftop mansard.

As a mid-terrace property with little open space to the rear and fronting directly onto a public pavement, the logistics of carrying out the work were complex. However, we maintained close communication with the main contractor to ensure that the roofing aspect of the project was carried out quickly and smoothly. Our goal was to provide a dry environment for the internal trades and ensure long-term waterproofing security for the building.

the result

In conclusion, the Duke Street Hotel flat roofing project was a great success for AAC Waterproofing. Our team of experienced professionals worked tirelessly to ensure that the installation of the new roofing system was completed to the highest standard possible. We were able to provide a range of roofing solutions that met the specific needs of the client while also adhering to industry standards and regulations.

Our use of high-quality materials, combined with our expertise and attention to detail, ensured that the new roofing system will provide long-lasting protection for the building for years to come. The client was extremely satisfied with the end result, which has helped to improve the overall appearance and functionality of the building.

We are pleased to have been a part of this exciting project and to have contributed to the preservation of the historical architecture in the local area. At AAC Waterproofing, we are committed to providing high-quality roofing solutions that meet the specific needs of our clients, while also adhering to industry standards and regulations.
