Flexible Systems

IKO has expanded its portfolio by launching a monolithic, anti-root, hot-melt structural waterproofing system at Ecobuild.

The PermaTEC Anti-Root Compound is ideal for extensive, intensive and bio-diverse green roof specifications. It eliminates the need for a separate anti-root membrane, making the specification and installation process both simpler and more cost-effective.

For added reliability and peace of mind, the PermaTEC Anti-Root Compound provides a 6mm-thick monolithic root barrier system with no side or end laps to fail.

Fewer pallets are required to transport the product and to crane it to roof level, and it has zero packaging, making on-site work more efficient.

Les Turnell, divisional manager for PermaTEC at IKO, said: “This is the third PermaTEC hot-melt system innovation from IKO in the last 18 months, and highlights our commitment to respond to client and contractors’ requirements for increasingly environmentally friendly, time saving, cost-effective waterproofing solutions”.

IKO has produced new literature to complement the launch of PermaTEC Anti-Root, including a design guide and technical datasheets.
