💪 𝗚𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 Last week, we asked our followers what were their main roofing challenges. We wondered what was the impact of material durability, costs, weather-related damage and aesthetic integration in their roofing projects. Although all of these factors are certainly important, the one that stands out for us is material durability. At the end of the day, the goal of any roofing system is to protect a building from the effects of the weather, so choosing the roofing material that will properly do its job for longer is a no-brainer. Our roofing membranes, insulation and vapor barriers are designed to work together for maximum results in the long term. Because roofing is a long distance race, not a sprint.

✍ 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 Flat roofs offer a lot of versatility. They are more accessible and easier to work on than pitched roofs, and allow to make the best of the available roof space, for example through the incorporation of solar and green roof installations. Flat roof design requires the careful balance between functionality, sustainability, structural integrity and aesthetics. Here are some best practices to consider during the design and specification phases: ✔️ Ensure the roof's structural integrity and proper drainage ✔️ Consider the local climate and building purpose ✔️ Prioritise energy efficiency ✔️ Go for sustainable materials ✔️ Follow the installation guidelines of the manufacturer ✔️ Seek technical support and warranties ✔️ Consider maintenance needs ✔️ Don't forget about the visual impact of the roof Find out more: https://lnkd.in/efcxnc5D #ElevateEMEA #ElevateRoofing #Roofing #RoofDesign #Architecture #FlatRoofDesign #SustainableArchitecture #RoofingSolutions #BuildingDesign #EnergyEfficiency

🌿 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳𝘀 When temperatures start to drop, the heating goes on and energy costs go up. If we consider that about 20-25% of heat loss in a building happens through the roof, achieving an efficient level of thermal insulation is definitely a high priority. But did you know that green roofs provide added thermal and sound insulation? As temperatures drop, the layers of soil and vegetation on a green roof help to retain heat, reducing energy consumption. They also absorb impact noise, such as rainfall and hail, providing a more pleasant indoor environment. When it comes to the construction and maintenance of green roofs, selecting the right materials is crucial. 🔗 Discover what Elevate roofing solutions can do for your green roof: https://lnkd.in/eQRa4YV9 🔗 Read more about intensive vs. extensive green roofs: https://lnkd.in/eDqEBbKd #ElevateEMEA #elevateRoofing #Roofing #GreenRoofs #RoofInsulation #SustainableArchitecture #EnergyEfficiency

✨ 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 ✨ Desalinated sea water is one of Singapore’s water sources. The Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant is Singapore’s fourth desalination facility, able to produce about 137,000 cubic meters of fresh drinking water every day. Thanks to the innovative design of the desalination plant, the water treatment equipment is located underground, completely hidden from view. The roof, located at ground level, features an intensive lush green garden that can be enjoyed by the public. Our UltraPly TPO thermoplastic membrane with a 1.5 mm thickness was used on this project.

💥 𝗗𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲! Roof damage sometimes happens, even on the best-maintained roofs. When you spot damage, it is best to tackle any repair work straightaway. Delaying repairs can lead to more extensive damage, higher costs, leaks, and mold growth, which can eventually cause structural issues to the whole roof. Elevate roofing membranes are easy to repair, even after decades of exposure.

𝗗𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵𝘀: 𝗧𝗣𝗢 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗻 🦄 Myth: TPO roofing membranes age prematurely and do not have a very long lifespan. ✅ Fact: There is a lot of variety out there, as not all TPO membranes are created equal. The ability of a TPO membrane to resist intense UV exposure and high heat is directly related to the formulation of the different layers, in particular the top ply, and the thickness of the layer over scrim. Getting the chemical formulation right is therefore the absolute key to a long-lasting TPO membrane. With an unchanged high-quality formulation since 1996, Elevate's UltraPly TPO membrane exhibits excellent lab and real-world results, even after several years of exposure in regions with very high UV radiation.

👉 In the spotlight: new life for iconic concert hall The gigantic Zenith de Strasbourg, able to accommodate an audience of 12,000 people, was in need of a new lease of life after 15 years of service. Its dome-like roof was in particular need of attention. Elevate single-ply roofing membranes were used in the renovation works, guaranteeing a durable solution. RubberGard EPDM was used on the dome, fully adhered over the existing roofing system, while UltraPly TPO was installed on the outer ring. The result? A high performant and aesthetic roof that is just as iconic as the building itself.
