Typical penetrations on education projects

Daylight, ventilation and thermal comfort are key to creating educational spaces that promote the wellbeing of pupils and teachers. Including these elements in building designs means inevitable building penetrations, and those penetrations need to be suitably weatherproofed to protect the building, contents and occupants from rainwater ingress and wind uplift. Our cold-applied weatherproofing formula can be used to effectively weatherproof a variety of vertical and roof penetrations, including:

Service Risers

Wherever pipes or ducting enter or exit a building, the penetration can be prone to water ingress and other problems. This is particularly problematic for service risers that extend upwards through a roof, which is a typical issue for plant decks.

Commercial rooflights and window installations

Commercial rooflight and window installations are excellent ways of providing natural lighting and ventilation, but unless they’re installed correctly, they can also result in problems such as leaks, damp and draughts.

Commercial Roof Repairs

When a commercial roof is in need of repair, you’ll want to get it fixed quickly and to a high standard. Weatherproofing is key, and many leaky roofs can be attributed to poor weathering around the building penetrations.
