Withstanding the sands of time with Sika Trocal

Withstanding the sands of time with Sika Trocal

Sika Trocal has provided the ideal solution for an extension to a clubhouse located at a holiday park. The specification of a quality watertight roofing system was essential in ensuring the building withstood the long-term rigours of its wild and windy seaside location, whilst enhancing the structure’s appearance.

Sub-contractors, Goldcrest Roofing Services, were selected to install 250m2 of 1.1m wide Sika Trocal Type S on the new extension. The Type S membrane is ideal for mechanically-fastened roofs in both new build and refurbishment applications. It does not require a separate fastening system for the thermal insulation as the Sika-Trocal disc system utilises the same disc and fastener for securing both the insulation and the waterproofing membrane.

After installation the product requires no further surface treatments or maintenance throughout its service life. The high elasticity of Sika-Trocal S allows it to absorb all movements that occur on a roof without failing, and to reduce stress on fasteners from the dynamic forces of wind loads.

Danny Murphy, co-owner of Goldcrest Roofing Services commented: "The entertainment complex is literally a stone’s throw from the beach so the roofing system applied by us must be able to withstand potentially very strong windloads over a long period of time. The Type S system is more than qualified to cope.”
