1,000m2 Ecological, Air Purifying Roofing
IKO PLC
In using IKO Carrara, the college will be neutralising on average, the emissions from up to 6 diesel cars each year. The addition of a darker coloured walkway across the roof falls means it is much easier to stay safe on top of the building when inspections and maintenance are required, while also preventing any water being trapped behind the laps.
1,000m2 Ecological, Air Purifying Roofing Refurbishment for a Library
IKO PLC
Dublin City Council were particularly interested in IKO Carrara’s exceptional environmental properties with its view to adding photovoltaic panels (PV) to the existing building. PV panels in combination with IKO Carrara have greater efficiency, up to 25%, as the performance of the solar cells increases during sunny periods, at a lower ambient temperature.
180 Tonnes of IKO Permaphalt used in the Regeneration of Folkestone Seafront
IKO PLC
The harbour arm was built in 1897 for the South Eastern Railway Company to connect trains with ships, originally for tourism but absolutely invaluable in the Great War, when men, horses and supplies left from here. Needing refurbishment as part of the overall major regeneration of Folkestone, the harbour arm’s mastic asphalt covering to the upper and lower levels was completely replaced over a period of three years in a series of packages for the Folkestone Harbour Company and their contractors using IKO Permaphalt and Recreational Duty Grade Mastic Asphalt.
A Cladding Refurbishment Project with Specific Colouring Requirements
IKO PLC
The appearance of the current cladding was in need of improvement and with the client requiring a specific colour, IKO were approached.

A Flame-Free Solution to Reduce the Potential Fire Risk
IKO PLC
The project was to refurbish the roof and improve the drainage and insulation and bring it up to current building control standards. A thermographic survey of the roof was carried out by IKO, which confirmed that it was sound enough to have an overlay of IKO UXPL bituminous membrane rather than stripping it back and rebuilding. IKO UPXL was primarily chosen by the client for the 30 year guarantee. One section of the roof to be repaired was on top of dormers. Flame-free IKO UPXL membranes were used because of the potential fire risk of the abutting pitched tiled roof.

Asphalt from 1906 Replaced on Major UK Landmark
IKO PLC
Successful project management and asphalt installation (in accordance with BS 8218:1998) were key to conserving one of the most important architectural structures in the UK. Works were phased to enable continued public access to Stone Gallery sections.
The height and highly sensitive fabric of the building meant that all materials were transported to the Gallery via three hoists, requiring careful operation and management.
Asphalt was stripped and re-laid in sections to ensure watertightness. Stripping enabled the client to view the condition of the Portland Stone paving beneath the asphalt.

Replacing the original traditional bitumen membranes, the flat roofs had to be re-roofed with high performance bitumen membranes to safeguard the integrity of the building fabric for many years to come. The roofs also needed to be insulated, whilst complying with the strict planning restrictions and maintaining the look and feel of the original external appearance. External gutters positions could not be altered and the position/make-up of the original windows in any abutments could not be changed.
Combining a Range of IKO Roofing Waterproofing Systems to Refurbish a School Roof

Creating a Vibrant and Attractive Office Environment, Including the Roof!
IKO PLC
A detailed visual and physical inspection, together with core and moisture probe analysis carried out by IKO on the roof, patio and walkway areas, indicated that the waterproofing membrane was in a condition commensurate with the age and the type of the traditional membranes installed. They had become fragile and brittle. The decks were saturated due to water ingress, and natural ageing had played a principle part in the deterioration of the waterproofing system. The build-up would not have met the requirements of the current building regulations Part L. IKO worked to refine the specification for the main roof,
