The Kemperol was applied by Surrey-based Exterior HomeCare. The liquid resin is installed ‘wet on wet’ in a single process using a reinforcement fleece. Once cured, it forms a seamless and elastomeric membrane that is inherently root resistant. As the Kemperol is liquid applied, this also ensured it could be easily and quickly installed around any detailing, including two large roof lights. On the upper elevation of the property, the contractor installed the Stratex Warm Roof System, which comprises both the Kempertherm tongue and groove insulation board as well as Kemperol liquid waterproofing. Nigel continued: “With the support of Kemper System’s technical team, Exterior HomeCare was able to install the liquid waterproofing to the highest standard and with no issues. The team also carried out electronic testing prior to the green roof being laid to ensure that the solution was as robust as possible. “The standard of the workmanship combined with the proven quality of the liquid waterproofing will ensure we can enjoy living in our new home without having to worry about leaks.” www.kempersystem.co.uk Victoria Ramwell from Kemper System added: “The waterproofing membrane is a vital element of a green roof specification. The use of Kemperol has guaranteed a watertight barrier between the roof substrate and the green roof systems, which is also root resistant. Its strength and flexibility provide the homeowner with the assurance that the sedum roof will remain viable for at least 20 years.”
