ARDEX Butyseal, Butynol roof repair membrane

We've recently been working with a very clever new product from Ardex called 'Butyseal'.

Ardex Butyseal is genuine Ardex Butynol (available in Black and Dove Grey) with a polyester fleece backing. This 'fleece' acts as an isolation layer and allows Butyseal to be laid directly over existing roof membranes, such as Butynol, Torch on membranes, Paint on (fibreglass) membranes.

This means huge cost savings for the client - no tearing off old membrane, no replacing ply, and best of all - no opening the building up to weather - or council interference!

Below are some 'before and after' images of a recent job - the original Ardex 1.0mm  Butynol roof was 40 years old - and had done very well, but was reaching its expiry date.
The owner (An Architect) didn't want to face ongoing repairs - he also wanted to reduce heat absorption, we opted for 'Dove Grey' Butyseal.
The result? The peace of mind of a leak- free 'brand new' warranted roof for a fraction of the cost of a traditional replacement.
