Product : Liquiflex Pro
Project Overview
When Starbucks in Edinburgh City Centre required a roofing refurbishment, it was crucial to select a solution that would provide long-lasting durability while ensuring minimal disruption to the business’s operations. The roof, which had a bitumen base, was suffering from wear and tear, and required an overlay solution that would create a seamless waterproof barrier. The roof’s complex design, featuring plant and ventilation systems, posed a significant challenge, as the project needed to be completed without interrupting the daily operations of the store.
Given the need to maintain business continuity, Liquiflex-Pro was selected as the ideal roofing solution. This versatile system offered the perfect combination of low-odour application and long-term performance, ensuring that Starbucks could continue to operate without disruption while benefiting from a highly durable and protective roofing system.
The Roofing Solution: Liquiflex-Pro Overlay
The existing bitumen roof was in need of an upgrade to address the roofing issues while ensuring long-term protection. The team applied a Liquiflex-Pro 25-year overlay system to achieve this.
Key elements of the solution included:
Liquiflex-Pro Application – The Liquiflex-Pro system was applied directly to the existing bitumen surface, creating a seamless waterproof membrane. This high-performance system offers a 25-year guarantee, ensuring long-term protection against leaks and environmental damage.
Low-Odour Formula – The low-odour properties of Liquiflex-Pro meant that the work could be carried out without affecting the store’s operations or customer experience, making it the perfect solution for this busy city centre location.
Complex Design Integration – The presence of plant and ventilation systems on the roof presented challenges, but Liquiflex-Pro’s flexibility allowed it to be applied with precision, ensuring a fully waterproof seal around the intricate features of the roof.
Results and Benefits
The application of Liquiflex-Pro delivered several key benefits to Starbucks in Edinburgh:
Minimal Disruption – The low-odour nature of the product meant that Starbucks could continue to serve customers without interruption throughout the roofing project.
Long-Term Protection – With a 25-year guarantee, the Liquiflex-Pro system ensures that the roof will remain protected from the elements for years to come, providing peace of mind for the business.
Enhanced Durability – The seamless waterproofing ensures the roof is fully protected, even with the complex roof features, reducing the need for ongoing maintenance and repairs.
This project at Starbucks Edinburgh City Centre highlights the effectiveness of Liquiflex-Pro in providing a flexible, durable, and low-disruption roofing solution for commercial properties with complex designs and operational needs.
