Britannia Advanced Coating Systems complete major Dublin roof encapsulation
Musgrave Market Place in Dublin is
enjoying a fresh lease of life following
the application of a new roof
waterproofing system from Britannia
Advanced Coating Systems working
with approved contractor David Jameson
Roofing. The project was undertaken
in summer 2018 and involved the full
encapsulation of the Market Place’s
8000m2 corrugated asbestos six-profile
sheet roof. The specified waterproofing
system was Britannia’s Polyshield
Liquid Coating.
After a site visit and discussion
between all parties, Britannia’s Roofing
Manager Kevin Killen put forward a
proposal of works that was approved by
the client. This was followed by further
discussion leading to agreed timings and
application methods.
After debris had been removed, a full
coating of Britannia Anti-Fungal Wash
was applied to all parts of the roof. The
contractors then spray applied a first
primer coat of Polyshield to seal the roof.
As specified, a second primer coat was
then applied to provide the Polyshield
system with extra strength.
Working from secure safety platforms,
the roofers’ next job was to roller apply
Polyshield base coat to all vertical and
horizontal laps. These were reinforced
with Polyshield polyester mesh.
Once the four installation crews had
completed one roof section, the spraying
crews then finished base coating all other
parts of the roof on a conveyor-type
basis. This agreed method of installation
reduced standing time and used man
power in the most effective way.
Finally, Polyshield top coat was applied,
providing a seamless, watertight finish to
a well planned and executed project.
