The liquid waterproofing system was installed by roofing contractor
Noble House Services. Kevin Palmer from Noble House, led the
project. He said: “Health and safety was crucial on this scheme -
so there was a demand for cold-applied liquid waterproofing rather
than a hot melt or naked flame system.”
Another benefit of the Kemperol V210M was its quick application
and versality. The fleece-reinforced, liquid waterproofing system
enabled the contractors to adhere to the strict timescales and
operational restrictions on-site.
Kevin continued: “We’ve worked with Kemper System for many
years so knew that Kemperol V210M would provide the safest
and most effective solution. One of the main benefits is that it can
be applied very quickly and easily using a roller. This provides us
with the time and flexibility to move around the site to complete
other jobs as and when required ensuring we can keep to the tight
construction programme.
“The ease and speed of application also enables us to carry out
the waterproofing of any features without delaying the schedule,
including multiple balustrade posts which are being retrofitted.”
Unlike other cold applied liquid waterproofing systems, Kemperol
V210M is applied ‘wet on wet’. In practice, this means the system is
laid in a single process by saturating the polyester reinforcing fleece
with Kemperol resin which bonds the membrane to the substrate as
it cures. This gives a single layer seamless membrane of uniform
thickness that cannot delaminate.
Kemper System’s new, perforated fleece was used by the
contractors – designed to increase the speed of resin saturation and
allow trapped air to escape quicker to save time on site and further
improve the ease of application.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Extremely durable and tear-resistant, Kemperol V210M also
has excellent crack bridging capabilities and can accommodate
structural details and penetrations without the need for additional
mechanical fixings.
Thanks to the savvy specification of Kemper System, and the quality
application by contractors, the Kemperol V210M waterproofing will
provide a sound, sustainable solution for the client and end user
alike, for many years to come.

Hot works systems are commonly used on new build developments,
yet Kemperol offers a number of advantages for developers. As it
is cold applied, it is very safe as avoids the fire risk of hot works
and the dangers associated with handling hot materials. It is also
UV stable and more suitable for complex details and exposed areas,
providing a completely seamless membrane encompassing the
whole roof area.
