The waterproofing of a flat roof with Aeroproof
Aeroproof in Naples. More precisely in the Vomero district, where the view on the city, the bay and the Vesuvio can be appreciated in all its splendor.
Here is located a building which needed restoration and maintenance works on the old waterproof membrane of the flat roof.
Having to completely redo the waterproofing, the client, and the company Penta Costruzioni Srl decided to use the 10mm Aeroproof panel, therefore combining the need for a new membrane and the enhancement of the energy efficiency of the roof.
The reduced thickness of the panel and the Aerogel insulation structure immediately convinced the owner of the apartment below, also thanks to the Indec Ngp’s technical and commercial consultancy.
The installation of Aeroproof
First of all, it was necessary to check the condition of the existing mount, taking care to even out eventual irregular height differences. Furthermore, it was necessary to check and guarantee the continuity and the sealing of eventual expansion joints.
At this point, Romano Luigi, the applicator, proceeded with the installation of the staggered joints panels, with the longest side parallel to the gutter line and transversal to the slope. After the installation and fastening of the panel, they applied the roof covering (reinforced membrane) transverse to the panels. Successively they will install an elevated paving in order to best benefit from the available space.
The final result
The final result was more than satisfactory. Since the project ended, indeed, it has not been necessary to turn on the heating in the morning – as they previously had to – to keep the house comfortable. And, despite having the heating on, the feeling of cold still did not disappear.
Today the living comfort has been enhanced to the point where the heating never has to be turned on, with consequent significant cost savings and high-quality comfort standards.
