Ward Insulated Panels has teamed up with roofing contractors
Cladanco Ltd to supply and install 750m2 of Ward Topdek, an
all-in-one single-ply insulated roofdeck, for the showroom of the
new Porsche dealership on Manchester Road in Bolton.
Ward Topdek is a factory pre-engineered composite roofdeck that
facilitates faster on-site assembly. It comprises a high-performance
single-ply PVC outer membrane integrally bonded to a FIREsafe rigid
PIR insulation core approved to LPBC standards and a steel
trapezoidal profile inner deck to provide structural strength.
As the original all-in-one single-ply roofing solution, Topdek
replaces the multi-stage process of laying steel decking, a vapour
control layer, insulation and outer membrane with one simple
installation which, compared to traditional built up roofing
systems, is proving to be up to 50% faster to install. A new
self-coring screw unique to Topdek speeds up the installation
process even further.
The pitched section of the roof was completed with 1,000m2 of Ward
DR1000 secret-fixed roof panels.
Gary March, managing director of Cladanco Ltd, commented: The speed
of installation on this project was remarkable. The use of the SFS
self-coring fastener is thought to have saved almost one third of
the installation time, considerably reducing labour costs meaning
the project was completed on schedule and to budget.
