THE TOTAL PACKAGE FROM PLANNING TO COMPLETION

Consolidated has over 20 years experience in budget costings, design and specifications of waterproofing membrane systems. Our service is consistently of the highest level.

Many buildings have suffered water penetration because the membrane application was inadequate either through insufficient design or poor building practice. Ultimately, total replacement is necessary.

Total refurbishment of a roof balcony requires the removal of the existing tiles and landscaping. At this stage it is critical that a robust membrane and protection combination is selected so that the building is permanently sealed.

SAFETY FIRST
.
In situations where there is a high exposure to the general public such as hospitals and shopping centres the selection of a membrane system may need to take into consideration a review of the method of installation. In order to minimize the visual impact of the application the selection of a self-adhering membrane provides the solution.

WHEN IT'S COMPLICATED
.
The waterproofing membrane is only as strong as its weakest link. In all situations the water tightness is dependent upon the detailing of corners, water outlets and penetrations. When a preformed sheet membrane is impractical to install in a complicated situation, the solution is an elastomeric liquid membrane system.

The design of a waterproofing system needs to take into consideration the maintenance budget. wherever practical roof elements are identified as areas where savings can be obtained without compromise to the integrity of the system.

Clients of Consolidated have benefited from the cost and time savings recovered from the existing surface reclaimed with a correction layer of hot bitumen instead of demolition and removal.

Prevention is better than cure! Consolidated has sealed thousands of wet areas ranging from domestic homes to high density developments to hospital projects.

When refurbishing flat roofs the expectation of the design and application of appropriate systems grow even more demanding. Consolidated approaches each challenge to deliver greater durability and increased reliability. The outcome is a longer life and genuine value for money.
