Britvic Need Aid With Their Roof

Britvic Need Aid With Their Roof

By:


Selling more than 1.3 billion units per year and exporting to more than 50 countries around the world, when the roofs at Britvic Soft Drinks' distribution centre in Norwich began to fail, a rapid high performance waterproofing and repair system was essential. Britvic, one of Europe's largest producers of soft drinks with an yearly turnover of more than 1 billion, turned to Acrypol, the UK's leading manufacturer of cold applied acrylic polymer waterproof solutions and coating.

Britvic searched for a repair answer to prevent the need for expensive replacements, as two roofs were suffering from deterioration, including holes causing water ingress to roofing joints. To ensure productivity would not be affected, it was crucial that the distribution centre stayed operating throughout the repair procedure.

System 15 and Metal-Kote, a comprehensive repair system supplied by Acrypol were used on both roofs which have a combined size of 3,759m2. The roofs appear and perform like new but cost much less than a replacement roof. Acrypol's System 15 and Metal-Kote proved ideal with efficient installation processes, both cold-applied over existing surfaces, causing minimum interruption to the corporation.

As it is suitable for a eclectic range of applications, Metal-Kote, was specified to offer waterproofing and repairs to the metal surfaces. Metal-Kote was applied straight on to the surface after an comprehensive pre-application cleaning process of the roofing surfaces, including gutters and joints. It provides a 100% watertight seal that also prevents any existing rust from spreading.

1,725m2 of Metal-Kote was spray-applied to the profiled sheet metal roofing. It has dramatically enhanced and reinvigorated the tired metal roof, with one application, returning Britvic's roof to its former glory, without the cost or inconvenience of a roof replacement.

System 15 was specified to deliver an unrivalled waterproofing integrity whilst offering convenience, safety and long-term performance all with Acrypol's 15 year guarantee. Some 2,034m2 of the economical, yet highly reliable, acrylic waterproofing system was applied to the existing rooftop, roofing joints and 380 linear metres of guttering, taking a fraction of the time and cost of other refurbishment and replacement systems.

Phase one in Britvic distribution centre's renovation programme is now complete, after the application of Acrypol's comprehensive roofing repair system. Starting from the top the employees of one of Europe's largest suppliers will have a workplace that is of the highest standard.
