A development in St Andrews, Scotland, has achieved its sustainable living goals with the help of Carlisle’s RESITRIX bitumen-backed EPDM system. The St Andrews West development phase 2 project features 16 houses, 8 ‘Fisher Flats’, and 38 apartments, requiring a waterproofing system that aligns with the project’s sustainability and aesthetic goals. The RESITRIX system was proposed by Site Roofing due to its durability and suitability for the project’s exposed climate conditions.
The RESITRIX system boasts several key features, including a durable roofing solution with a service life of over 50 years, excellent resistance to U/V, and stability against temperature fluctuations. It is also suitable for coastal locations with a saline atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for the St Andrews West development. Additionally, the system’s self-adhesive membrane can be laid onto almost any substrate, and the laps are sealed using hot air welding, reducing risk during the build phase.
The RESITRIX system provided a seamless finish and smooth program for the project, allowing Site Roofing to coordinate works with the pitched roofing contractor effectively. The system’s walkable surface throughout the construction phase enabled continued access to the flat roofs, which was crucial given the complex program involving both flat and pitched roof areas, along with other trades.
