Case Study - Proteus Pro-Felt® - Scarborough Spa

Scarborough Spa, a Grade II listed building and venue for conferences, exhibitions and events required a new waterproofing membrane as the existing felt roof had reached the end of its serviceable life. Following a site survey, Proteus Waterproofing specified Proteus Pro- Felt® Ultima Plus, along with a Cut to Fall insulation scheme, providing a long lasting, bespoke, waterproofing solution.

High Performance Waterproofing

A built-up roof system was installed with Cut to Fall insulation and Proteus Pro-Felt® Ultima Plus felt. As the roof was had many changes in levels, Cut to Fall insulation was essential. It was designed so water could be directed to suitable outlets, significantly reducing water retention on the roof. Proteus Waterproofing worked closely with the Proteus Approved Contractor to ensure the project was completed to a high standard.
