Britvic Need Help With Their Roof

Britvic Need Help 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 speedy high performance waterproofing and repair system was necessary. 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 needed to repair two roofs, as they were suffering from deterioration, including holes causing water ingress to roofing joints. They didn't want to replace the roofs and were looking for a less costly substitute. To make certain productivity would not be compromised, it was vital that the distribution centre remained open throughout the repair operation.

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

Suitable for a wide range of applications, Metal-Kote, a fast acting and non-intrusive metal repair system, was specified to give waterproofing and repairs to the metal surfaces. After an extensive pre-application cleaning process was accomplished across all roofing surfaces, including gutters and joints, Metal-Kote was applied straight on to the surface, providing a 100% watertight seal that also stops any existing rust from spreading.

Chosen for its high performance and simple application, some 1,725m2 of Metal-Kote was spray-applied to the profiled sheet metal roofing. Returning Britvic's roof to its former glory, without the cost or inconvenience of a roof replacement, with one application, it has dramatically bettered and reinvigorated the tired metal roof.

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. Taking a fraction of the time and cost of other refurbishment and replacement systems, 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.

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