Egger UK Ltd - Weyroc Protect can help builders battle wetter
weather
Builders can face up to the threat of
a much wetter climate across the UK in the future by
choosing products with care – such as Egger UK Ltd’s
Weyroc Protect, a flooring board which is BBA certified
for 42 days exposure to the elements.
Scientists believe the UK is under threat of increasing
rainfall caused by global warming, and construction
companies will be acutely aware of problems from
water-affected materials.
Traditional flooring is susceptible to warping and
de-layering even when exposed to the lightest of
showers. However, Egger, one of Europe’s leading
suppliers of wood-based building products, has designed
its Weyroc Protect flooring to shrug off protracted
exposure to damp conditions.
It also gives a safe working platform thanks to its
special anti-slip finish, which provides excellent
foot-holding properties for site workers at height.
Used as part of Egger’s Rapid Deck ‘no-nails’ chipboard
system, Weyroc Protect can also reduce installation
times. Incorporating the specially formulated Weyroc D4
Adhesive, the Rapid Deck system enables flooring to be
glue-fixed to joists without the need for nails and in
wet weather conditions.
The water resistant Weyroc Adhesive gives excellent
bonding strength between tongue and groove boards as
well as bonding between joists or I-beams and boards.
This makes it even more suitable for use when laying
chipboard flooring during damp conditions.
Kathryn Burton, Egger’s UK marketing coordinator for
specification and marketing products, said: “The
majority opinion in the science community now agrees
that the UK can expect much wetter weather in future
years. This will clearly have an affect on the way we
build things in this country and construction companies
should be thinking now about materials and working
practices for the future.”
