For a technically superior GRP roofing system specify

 
DRYSEAL
 

DRYSEAL GRP Roofing System consists of high quality components manufactured on an automated process to specific production standards in a factory environment operating under BS EN ISO 9002 quality control guidelines. This considerably enhances the integrity and reliability of the system and reduces installation time. DRYSEAL has BBA approval. Specified by local authorities, health authorities, hospital trusts, education authorities, universities, breweries, hotel groups and other major organisations, DRYSEAL is one of the most technically advanced systems suitable for either flat or low pitched roofing. It is able to cope with the most intricate detail and can be installed on any recognised rigid roofing grade insulation board. DRYSEAL is ideally suited to both new and refurbishment projects, from small domestic to large commercial and industrial applications.


Refurbishment DRYSEAL is suitable for flat and low pitched roofs and can be used to upgrade or refurbish existing roofs, incorporating insulation requirements.

New Work DRYSEAL can be used for cold or warm roofs and inverted roof design and can incorporate walkways within the system.

Insulation DRYSEAL system is compatible with any recognised rigid roof grade insulation board, having sufficient compressive strength to resist indentation when fixed and of sufficient thickness to achieve the required 'U' value as specified.

Ventilation Ventilation is a very important factor in any roofing system. DRYSEAL, when under the effects of temperature change will undulate throughout the roof area, thus creating the vacuum needed to expel moist air.

Components DRYSEAL provides a wide range of GRP trims, flashings, cappings for coping tops and cover flashings. In addition, Hambleside Danelaw is able to manufacture individual items required to satisfy a particular specification.

Seams and Laps DRYSEAL on-site laminating is conducted using high quality roofing grade polyester resin, incorporating a glass chopped strand mat overlaid with a glass tissue.

Top Coat DRYSEAL'S high performance top coat is applied to the GRP membrane and details as a further protection against ultraviolet light degradation. The top coat is available in various colours.

Installation process, contractor training and certification


Photo 1. Once the roof decking has been prepared a vapour control layer is positioned with all laps sealed. Onto this a rigid insulation board is loose laid with staggered joints.


Photo 2. The DRYSEAL GRP membrane is then cut to length and fixed to the insulation layer with adhesive 'buttons' - the sheet edges are held in place with anti-corrosive fixings.


Photo 3. The DRYSEAL GRP trims and mouldings are then positioned and fixed in the same way.


Photo 4. The seams and laps are sealed with the wet laminating process. First, the high quality roofing grade polyester resin is applied then the glass chopped strand mat. A second coat of the resin is then applied over the mat and onto this is laid the seaming tissue.


Photo 5. Finally, the DRYSEAL high performance top coat is applied to the GRP membrane and trims as a further protection against the elements and ultra-violet light degradation.

Technical Support

The DRYSEAL Technical Manual for specifiers and contractors covers every aspect of the system and features over 70 pages of drawings, specification detail and installation methods for all applications. A comprehensive easy-to-use index gives speedy access to the data within.

To ensure high quality standards in the installation of DRYSEAL, Hambleside Danelaw can provide details of contractors within any area of the UK who are experienced and have been trained by the Company to carry out DRYSEAL installations.

Hambleside Danelaw is able to provide full specification details for the application of DRYSEAL for either new work or for refurbishment projects. This service includes the provision of design drawing.


DRYSEAL
Suitable for large and small works

At one end of the scale DRYSEAL provides a long lasting 'guaranteed' alternative for the countless thousands of domestic flat roofing applications where felt materials, with all their inherent problems, have traditionally been used. At the other extreme DRYSEAL is regularly specified for contracts of several thousand square metres. On roofs of this size, which are invariably complex, a main advantage is the way that DRYSEAL can be formed into intricate shapes by in-situ lamination.



COLOUR RANGE

DRYSEAL Top Coat is available in four standard colours: Industrial Grey, Dark Grey, Brazilia Brown and Privet Green. A further 25 colours can be provided although requests for information, availability and price are advised before ordering.
