🏗️ A major milestone for WestWood’s New Build & Architecture Division.
Our first residential project is now well underway, with the first main roof area successfully completed using the WestWood Wecryl monolithic waterproofing system 👏
Delivered in collaboration with Linroc and installed by Durable Contracts Roofing Limited, the system achieves both BROOF(t4) classification and CCPi approval - combining technical performance with complete confidence in specification.
But this project is about more than waterproofing 👇
The light-coloured Wecryl finish has been selected to help improve Solar Reflectance Index (SRI), reducing roof surface heat absorption and helping lower internal heat gain during warmer months. ☀️
Alongside this, the incorporation of a green roof delivers further environmental benefits:�
🌿 Natural insulation�
🌧️ Improved rainwater attenuation�
🦋 Increased biodiversity�
❄️ Reduced summer overheating
And because Wecryl is inherently root-resistant, there’s no need for chemical root inhibitors often required with alternative systems.
From an installation perspective, the project has also eliminated the need for naked flames and hot works. Compared to the originally specified torch-on system, this approach avoids the use of approximately 900kg of LPG and an estimated 2.7 tonnes of CO₂ emissions during installation. 💚
Waste has also been significantly reduced through the use of recyclable 1-tonne IBC containers in place of multiple smaller tins - helping minimise landfill impact across the project.
Fantastic progress so far, with waterproofing works on the second block now moving forward. A huge thank you to Durable Contracts Roofing Limited for their continued support and collaboration throughout 👏
