Waterproof your entire home and avoid ‘Leaky Home Syndrome’
Important things to consider when waterproofing your roof are to select a product with good durability, minimal maintenance and one that is easy to clean. Whatever the size of your roof, there is always more than one solution to every situation in waterproofing. We have several solutions including Butylclad, EPDM Rubber membranes, TPO membranes and torch on membranes supplied by an array of different suppliers.
The product used will largely depend on its location, weather patterns and proximity to the beach, as well as your expectations regarding the overall finishing. Try to have a minimal number of man-made joints to reduce the chances of leaks, etc. It is also critical to have the right pitch on your roof to not only avoid water pooling but also to ensure your warranty remains valid.
Peninsula Roofing have a large variety of different textures and colours for you to choose from, so matching your home is easy. Most suppliers offer a minimum 20 year warranty on their products however some membranes may require some up keep and maintenance for the warranty to remain valid. In addition to the supplier warranty, we offer a 5 year warranty on all workmanship.
Often customers do not understand what the product that has been specified on their project will look like when finished. It is important to take time to discuss with us your options and expectations before making a decision. We will also ensure that the correct roof vents that may be required on your project are the correct ones for the product you have chosen. This is an area often overlooked and not specified on plans, however it is crucial that roof vents are designed into the roof structure and the required quantities are calculated.
