You will be looking for a robust warranty on the roof product(s). SPRA requires that its membrane and associate product suppliers offer a minimum 10 year policy with terms that are clear and reasonable. View the guidance document on guarantees [185.75 KB].

 

All SPRA membrane products must have current independent certification from British Board of Agrément or BRE Global. These state anticipated service life based on field study and artificial ageing and range from 25-40 years.

 

Minimum maintenance Single ply membranes themselves require no maintenance during service. However, subject to safe access being available, it is recommended that all roofs are inspected once or preferably twice per year to check for damage, obstructed rainwater outlets, condition of designated walkways and so on. Single ply membranes can be cleaned if required using water and a soft brush.

See DESIGNERS for options of appearance, including geometry, finish or colour.   

 

Single ply systems can exceed the requirements of Building Schools for the Future and NHS procurement. View the SPRA introduction to roofs for education. [288.7 KB]

 

Over 60% of UK construction is refurbishment and it is challenging, given the demands of carbon reduction, IT integration and safety considerations. Single ply is available in three methods of attachment and two system options, with the added bonus of compatibility with green roof systems. SPRA members have the experience to offer durable, low carbon yet attractive solutions. No use of hot materials or disruptive plant means work can often be done during continuous occupation of the building.
