Comments |
As the waterproof layer is completely seamless it is free from potentially weak areas, such as joints, where early failure can occur. This is particularly important in green roof systems where the waterproof layer is below the surface and not easily accessible should problems occur. Furthermore, as the system is also completely cold applied, this eliminates the risk of fire normally associated with traditional roof applications. |
