Dalmuir court residents choose Sarnafil
Published:  29 January, 2010

Sarnafil is celebrating the completion of a green roof with a twist – the single ply specialist’s distinctive Patina Green coloured membrane now crowns a 15-storey block in Dalmuir, Scotland.

Sarnafil’s single ply system not only met the client’s practical requirements to reduce the carbon emissions from old building stock, but also the project’s aesthetic requirements.

A total of 100sq m of cold applied S327-15EL membrane in Patina Green was used on the main roof and plant room walls to give the roof its unique aged copper appearance, with an additional 100sq m of membrane in Light Grey installed on the plant room roof. To complete the main roof, 300sq m of G410-15EL membrane in Light Grey was also installed.

With no naked flames or hot bonding the residents could remain in-situ throughout the works. Scottish Sarnafil registered contractor Miller Roofing was also required to install the new roof within a tight timeframe. As the company’s managing director Alan Hilditch recalls: “After the original roof was stripped it was immediately sealed with a self adhesive SarnaVap 5000E SA vapour control layer, which provided a quickly-laid, instant waterproof seal.  The roof was insulated with the Sarnafil guaranteed roof insulation which, in conjunction with an insulated render system to the walls of the block, gives the building a vastly improved thermal performance.”
