Commercial Flat Roofing with IKO Mach One for Tyne Tunnel
Initial Assessment and Preparations:
During the initial survey of this commercial flat roofing project, core samples were taken to assess the existing build-up. The examination revealed a dry underlying structure, allowing us to retain the existing insulation and waterproof covering. Our task involved stripping off all gravel and addressing any loose or blistered areas.
Installation of IKO Mach One System:
We proceeded to install the IKO Mach One single-layer system across all existing areas, complemented by IKO Goldseal for detailing such as wall upstand and box gutter detail.
Addressing Skylights with IKO Polimar System:
To address the skylights, we opted for the IKO Polimar seamless liquid system, providing enhanced waterproofing due to their circular shape.
Project Completion and Inspection:
This commercial flat roof was approximately 900 square meters and took DVC Roofing 3 weeks to complete. All our experts on this job are all fully approved IKO installers, all holding relevant training certificates.
Quality Assurance and Warranty:
This roof has now been passed off by an IKO Technical engineer and will hold a single point warranty from IKO PLC.
Mach One System Overview:

The membrane may be used on either insulated or uninsulated roofs in conjunction with the other IKO Systems products.
