Whether you are constructing a contemporary home in the Coromandel or overseeing the development of an office block in the windy capital, this guide from Premium Quality explains why new butynol roofing systems are the ultimate “shield” for your investment, and why other roofing systems are inadequate for the challenges New Zealand presents. “Typical” horizontal rain and extreme UV exposure are roofing challenges faced every Tuesday in New Zealand’s commercial roofing environment.
Here is the breakdown of why butynol is the gold standard for New Zealand’s flat roofs.
The “Gold Standard” Of Roofing And Why Butynol
It’s important to understand that butynol is more than some flimsy plastic sheet. Butynol is an advanced engineered polymer, and when appropriately specified, it outperforms every other roofing option.
Seismic Resilience: Other roofing options are rigid and will crack when the substrate or building moves. Because butynol is flexible, it will accommodate the seismic movements of the building.
Extreme Temperature Resistance: Butynol will not become brittle and crack when exposed to sub-zero temperatures. It will also not melt when exposed to the harsh temperatures of the southern hemisphere.
Residential: Ending the “Patchwork” Cycle
An unfortunate number of homeowners become familiar with the cycle of continual, often multiple roofing repairs, far too often because of poor initial installations.
The 20 to 30 Year Play: Butynol will allow you to invest with confidence for decades of protection. A new butynol sheet installation will provide you with peace of mind.
Health First: It is possible to prevent mold from becoming a health hazard by ensuring waterproofing is done correctly and avoiding the need to turn a beautiful home into a hazard.
Commercial: Industrial Strength Reliability
For commercial properties, a leak is a business catastrophe.
Geometric Versatility: Butynol can be folded, cut, and bonded to work around complicated HVAC units and internal gutters that tend to make other materials fail.
Efficiency: We prioritize getting it done right the first time so that you can focus on the bottom line instead of having to deal with buckets in the hallways.
The Premium Technical Edge
Rolling out rubber is the most basic service in our industry. We apply a high-tech, bonded process to our work:
Substrate Perfection: We get the underlying wood or concrete as dry and smooth as possible.
Welded Seams: We use a process of heat-bonding and cold-welding to merge individual sheets into a single membrane that will be impenetrable.
Detailing: It is these areas of the most intricate work that we pay obsessive attention to. Pipes, vents, and chimneys are the most likely areas for leaks to occur.
The “Peace of Mind” Factor
The true worth of our service doesn’t just lie in the rubber; it is also the value of being able to sleep through a storm without worrying about ceiling patches. We have worked hard to make the process as easy as possible, from our plain English customer service to our free quotes, which provide a complete overview of your roof’s future.
