RENOLIT ALKORPLAN - leading the way in world-class waterproof roofing membrane technology. The ALKORPLAN portfolio from RENOLIT offers an extensive range of versatile, synthetic, thermoplastic roofing membranes. An ideal alternative to traditional roofing systems, the RENOLIT ALKORPLAN range is suitable for all building types - whether you’re undertaking a new build, adding an extension or simply refurbishing. A hugely versatile solution RENOLIT ALKORPLAN may be installed over an existing failed roofing system providing a reliable lightweight solution. In addition due to its vapour permeability, any water ingress in the old roofing system will diffuse through the new membrane allowing the system to dry over time. The membrane also compliments any existing or subsequent work you may do and offers a smart finished appearance designed to work in tandem with all UPVC accessories. RENOLIT ALKORPLAN as a warm roof system provides thermal performance compliant with the latest building regulations and its versatility of installation allows it to work across a variety of applications, no matter how challenging or architecturally interesting the roof structure or its pitch (including vertical) may be. Its flexibility allows the membrane to install to all angles and waterproof around any protrusions. Eye-catching design Unlike most roofing products, RENOLIT ALKORPLAN is available in a range of eye-catching colours including stylish greys, traditional coppers, earthy terracotta and shimmering metallic. RENOLIT ALKORDESIGN profiles enhance the visual of the roof to provide the impression of standing seam. Green credentials There is also the option to install RENOLIT’s ALKOBRIGHT high reflectance membrane; a brilliant white product which offers a reduction in thermal gain and improves the efficiency of photo voltaics. With the addition of RENOLIT ALKORSOLAR, this simple carrier system may be fitted for solar elements without the need for additional ballast or perforation of the roof membrane. Archetech - Page 104 RENOLIT ALKORGREEN is also available to provide a full green roof system. Easy installation and maintenance Due to the efficiency and reliability of synthetic waterproofing, only one membrane layer is needed, which cuts down on installation time and weight. There is no reliance on naked flame for installation and RENOLIT ALKORPLAN roofing membranes are either fastened mechanically, adhesively bonded, or loose laid and ballasted. All installation is carried out by an approved roofing contractor. Once installed, ongoing maintenance is minimal. RENOLIT ALKORPLAN has a predicted life expectancy in excess of 35 years (BBA approved). To find out more, the ALKORPLAN team at RENOLIT would be delighted to hear from you.
