Watertight roofing membrane with BRANZ appraisal - 07 August 2009

Skellerup Viking Roofing and Waterproofing has received a BRANZ appraisal for its Enviroclad roofing membrane.  BRANZ performed an independent assessment of the quality of the product, establishing its ability to meet the New Zealand Building Code requirements and the expectations of the user. 

“We are delighted to announce the BRANZ appraisal for Enviroclad.  This provides our customers with peace and mind and the assurance that they are choosing the right roofing membrane solution” said Rod McAneaney, General Manager for Skellerup Viking Roofing and Waterproofing.
Skellerup Enviroclad is the ultimate waterproofing solution for commercial and residential roofing and is part of the world’s fastest growing roofing membrane category.

Highly reflective in white and grey, it contributes to the reduction in a building’s energy use and cooling costs to assist with its Green Star rating.  Enviroclad’s heat weldable technology, high puncture resistance and full system of proprietary accessories, assures watertight integrity, even when fully immersed.  It can also be applied to new or over existing roof surfaces.

“We have installed Enviroclad on a number of existing buildings in New Zealand which faced waterproofing challenges.  Enviroclad addressed the issues and provided a watertight finish” said Rod, “The Enviroclad solution is an innovative step forward in roofing membranes in New Zealand.  The heat weldable technology, larger sheets and proprietary accessories provide a watertight solution.  It has now been independently tested against New Zealand requirements to provide peace of mind to those specifying the product for new and existing buildings.”

Enviroclad can only be installed by a Skellerup Viking Approved Applicator  “Our applicator network is licensed by a 3-staged programme to ensure the highest standards in waterproofing membrane installation” said Rod, “We also work with our applicator network in the ensuing years to ensure that the standards achieved during licensing are maintained.”
