Tuff Waterproofing, the supplier of heavy-duty GRP waterproof flat roofing, has launched a customer information guide combining valuable technical advice with comprehensive details on its widest-ever range of products.
The guide provides information on the company’s TuffStuff GRP roofing and Tuff Tech Pro VP/UV, a new polyurethane-based system which is said to be ideal for the commercial market. Also featured are a range of resins, catalysts, reinforcing materials, roof trims, application tools and decking boards alongside performance data, a materials calculator and full usage and installation guidance for a wide range of roof substrates.
Greg Gimenez, managing director of Tuff Waterproofing, said: “The experts at Tuff Waterproofing have been continuously evolving roofing solutions for over 30 years – our 2018 range is our most extensive, as well as our most advanced. Our customers know that we are always available to provide industry-leading support when they need it most and our new guide is a useful technical resource to help them complete high-quality roofing applications with maximum speed and efficiency. We are also able to provide installation training on request.”
Supplied with a 25-year product warranty, Tuff Waterproofing’s TuffStuff formula reportedly uses the latest liquid polyester resins, glass fibre mat reinforcement and flexible edge trims to create a fully integrated 100% waterproof seamless finish which is ideal for new OSB timber boards and overlay systems. All components are designed to work with each other to produce a robust, heavy-duty membrane with no seams or joints which are prone to leakage in other roof systems. According to Tuff Waterproofing, it can also accommodate applications of almost any size or complexity, including sloping roofs, green roofs, balconies, pools and water tanks.
Tuff Tech Pro VP/UV’s polyurethane-based formula is also a completely seamless waterproof encapsulating membrane which is suitable for new or existing flat roofs, walkways, balconies and gutters. Its fast-curing formulation is said to be quick and easy to apply, significantly reducing time and labour on-site. The product is non-hazardous and can be applied in damp atmosphere.
