Sika-Trocal Type S membrane, in Slate Grey, was specified by the client. Because it offered a rapid and ecomomic solution for the redevelopment of the Bath school of art and design.

Sika Trocal was chosen because of its efficiency and speed, which was a big benefit for this scheme as there was a three week time frame to complete the project. The significant benefit of this system over other conventional systems is that this single fastener and plate combination is used to mechanically attach the thermal insulation and membrane to the roof, saving the expense and time of two attachment systems. As part of the client’s requirements, over 250 sq metres of the roof had to be completed within seven days, to prove the credentials of the product, and to ensure that future works would be completed within the specified project deadline.

Given the credentials of the Sika-Trocal product in the education sector Sika were able to install a long lasting and proven roofing solution for the University under mitigating circumstances.
