How to Re-roof a Felt Flat Roof with IKO Armourplan 20 Years Warranty?
The Process:
The felt flat roof starting to show signs of wear and tear, resembling one of those traditional felt roofs with three layers, getting close to the end of its expected lifespan and letting water seep in at crucial spots like where it meets the wall and at the drip detail.
Stripping and Preparation:
For a dependable solution, look no further than DVC Roofing. We specialise in final flat roof waterproofing, rejuvenating ageing felt flat roofs into robust, watertight surfaces using advanced materials like IKO Armourplan. Our process begins with removal of the existing felt flat roof covering and timber decking down to the roof’s existing timber joist. We ensure a clean workspace by clearing away all debris. After inspecting the roof joists for rot or defects prior to the New Flat Roofing system, we install new OSB T&G Timber roof boards, securely screw-fixed to prevent displacement.
Waterproofing with IKO Armourplan:
To the existing roof joist we fitted new OSB T&G Timber roof boards screw fixed. Screw fixed eliminate the risk of the existing ceiling coming dislodged by way of fixing boards with nails hammered into existing joists. The system we used was IKO Armourplan Mechanicaly fixed. This method entails loose laying out the membrane and fixing down one side at specified centres, usually 200mm apart. The next membrane is then laid over with the correct lap and heat welded. This method is used throughout the entire roof. All perimeter edge detail is tied using an IKO bar and drip trim fastened at correct centres. This method is to stop the system from pulling away from the perimeter when there is movement as it is designed to do.
THE WARRANTY
IKO Armourplan system comes with a comprehensive 20-year warranty for labour and materials, directly from IKO PLC, the largest waterproofing manufacturer worldwide. As approved installers, we ensure the warranty covers your new roof entirely by IKO PLC.
