East Wall Rd, Dublin 3 Architect: Scott Tallon Walker Main Contractor: Pierse Construction Roofing Sub-Contractor: H&E Costello Completed: 2004 Moy Materials Products: Paralon Warm Roof System
East Point Business Park
If something works perfectly in Phase 1, it makes sense to use it again in Phase 2. That’s why, in this extensive development of office units on Dublin’s Northside, the Paralon System was used in every Phase to roof every unit - from the first to the last. The simplicity and functionality of the product also lent itself to the multitude of unusual requirements that arose on the project – including waterproofing beneath a tennis court.

The scale and complexity of this project threw up some interesting challenges. With variations in structure, level, and finished use, we had to tackle almost every conceivable waterproofing detail, so working closely with the design team was crucial to ensure that “as-drawn” became “as-built”. Paralon waterproofing was installed to flat roofs, roof terraces and podium areas. The Roof–Pro System - which supports roof-mounted technology such as air-con units without penetrating the waterproofing - was widely used to allow change use in the units below.

Clarion Hotel, Cork City
This prestigious hotel and office development is located in the heart of Cork City, so space was at a premium. Ingeniously, the design team used the roof area as a working platform, on which they installed Paralon’s high performance torch-bonded vapour barrier and completed the roof exterior. In addition, the roof had to support air-conditioning units and other heavy plant machinery required in a luxurious modern building. With our innovative Roof-Pro (www.roof-pro.co.uk) System, the team created sturdy supports, without penetrating the waterproof membrane with uprights.

Vistakon manufactures high-end optical equipment in clean room environments. Due to the large scale of the roof project, we installed Paralon System in two phases. First, the roof was taken to Base Sheet level (vapour barrier, insulation and base sheet) to seal the building. Then, the Paralon Cap Sheet was added to give a clean roof finish. In-keeping with the pristine style of Vistakon’s business, Moy Materials used a pure white Paralon granular membrane for the roof exterior.

The Paralon Series of high performance, polymer-modified bitumen waterproofing, provides a complete range of membranes for use in modern building and civil construction projects. This reliable roof waterproofing system has been in use since 1981, and has an excellent reputation for quality and durability. An estimated 15 million square metres of waterproofing has been installed here in Ireland, through the Paralon Network of Authorised Roofing Contractors. Typical Applications in Roofing: • Warm and Cold Roof Systems with insulation above and below the roof substrate. • Inverted or Upside Roof systems with insulation above the waterproofing layer. • Green Roofs or terraces with a combination of finishes, such as ‘Sedum’, which includes: extensive vegetation mats and grass/plant “intensive” systems, and paving, decking, or hard finishes for access and recreational purposes including planters and ponds. • Sloped or low pitched roofs, which require a specific colour or aesthetic finish. • Podium waterproofing Components of a Paralon Roof: Warm Roof: • Vapour Control layer • Thermal Insulation – P.I.R. with high density fibreboard facing • 2 Layer Paralon waterproofing, (Granular Surfaced). Inverted Roof: • 2 Layer Paralon waterproofing • Thermal Insulation – Extruded Polystyrene, (External Grade). Green Roof: • Vapour Control layer • Thermal Insulation – P.I.R. with high density fibreboard facing • 2 Layer Paralon waterproofing with Root Repellent Podium Waterproofing • Single or Double layer of Paralon, (Finishes can be Blacktop, Soil, or Paving)

Water-permeable finishes, such as Architectural Curtain Walling, Stone Cladding, and Porous Clay Tiles, are becoming popular features in façade design. Thankfully, Rubberclad EPDM is the ideal waterproofing barrier. It is completely impermeable to water and water vapour, and can be bonded to virtually any substrate. And, there is a product for every application, whether you’re sealing an entire façade or just the joints between concrete panels and window frames. With extensive experience in EPDM systems, we can advise Architects and Engineers at design stage, offer project-specific installation guidance, and even give on-site assistance to Builders and Sub-Contractors.
• Waterproof & Airtight - Forms an impermeable barrier to water and air • Durability - Lasts over 40 years • Environmentally Friendly - It’s recycled and recyclable • Tough - Puncture resistant • Easy To Install - No special tools required • Economical - Costs less than traditional waterproofing systems • Availability - Just call for next day delivery, across Ireland.
RUBBERCLAD EPDM MEMBRANE Available in rolls of 200, 300, 500, 1000 and 1500mm. Thickness 0.7mm as standard, 0.5mm and 1.0mm are also held in stock. Special applications sometimes demand that a thicker membrane be supplied. In these cases, we can supply membrane up to 4mm thick. We can also supply larger, pre-cut panels so that a single seamless piece may be used to cover an entire elevation. SELF ADHESIVE RUBBERCLAD EPDM Self Adhesive Rubberclad has a release paper which is pulled away to expose a sticky butyl adhesive base which bonds well to steel, concrete and timber. Moy Materials Ltd stock this product in 240mm wide rolls - the optimum roll width for the glazing industry specialists. We also supply strips of partially self adhesive Rubberclad to Curtain Walling specialists who wish to have a membrane bonded to their units, with 200-300mm hanging loose so that the main contractor may seal to specialised cladding panels after a period of time. BONDING ADHESIVE BA 007. (5 Litre Can with reusable lid). This is a contact adhesive used for making overlap joints and for bonding Rubberclad to various substrates. It is applied by brush or roller to both mating surfaces. BA007 is a neoprene solvent based adhesive which is brushed onto both the substrate and the Rubberclad membrane. After the solvent evaporates the surfaces are pressed together resulting in a very strong bond. FAÇADE SEALANT FS 011. (600ml foil wrapped sachet). This adhesive and sealant paste is used to bond Rubberclad to various substrates and to seal overlaps. It is easy to apply and gives the user time to position membrane before curing. As FS011 paste is also a waterproofing sealant, it may be used to seal penetration points when mechanical fasteners (such as insulation fixings) are used, which could potentially allow water ingress. Sold in boxes of 12, each box comes complete with 12 clean nozzles designed to fit the bulk gun we supply. LAP SEALANT LS 009 Used to seal exposed edges at joints and laps, it is particularly important to use where Rubberclad is laid flat and may hold standing water. SPLICING ADHESIVE SA 008. Used to make watertight joints where water will rest on the membrane e.g. gutter lining. CLAMPING BARS. Galvanised steel bars, pre-punched or plain, used to clamp Rubberclad in position. Typically 3 metres in length and punched at 150mm centres.
Few waterproofing systems are as versatile as the Rubberclad EPDM membrane. As new and interesting projects arise, each with their own unique requirements, innovative methods of attaching the membrane and fitting the subsequent cladding systems are devised. Broadly speaking, the fitting of Rubberclad EPDM falls into three main categories: 1. Fully bonded Method 2. Partially bonded Method 3. Mechanically Clamped Method 1. The Fully Bonded Method. The Rubberclad EPDM is fully adhered to block work, concrete or timber substrate using contact adhesive BA007. This method is generally used where the insulation layer is to be bonded to the EPDM. Rubber to rubber overlaps are sealed using contact adhesive. Insulation is generally supplied with a tissue face to provide the best possible adhesion to the Rubberclad membrane. 2. The Partially Bonded Method The Rubberclad EPDM is partially adhered to the substrate using FS011 adhesive, which is applied in an “S” shaped pattern or in a series of lines approximately 500mm apart. The Rubberclad membrane is then pressed onto this adhesive and pressed home with a pressure roller. Overlaps are sealed with FS011 adhesive/sealant. The insulation system or rails for the cladding system are then installed, giving the benefit of mechanically clamping the membrane in position. 3. The Mechanically Clamped Method The Rubberclad membrane is allowed to hang vertically over the building façade. A metal clamping bar is installed at parapet level to hold the membrane in position. Subsequent clamping bars are installed at each floor level. The membrane overlaps are sealed with FS011 and all mechanical fasteners are made water tight with FS011. Full method statements and installer drawings are available from Moy Materials Ltd. We also offer advice to Designers and Installers on the most appropriate method of installation to suit individual projects.
As building technology has developed, demand for additional comforts, such as roof-mounted air-conditioning units, has increased. These days, flat roofs must support ever-increasing amounts of heavy plant machinery. In the past, this meant penetrating the waterproofing to build support frames or casting plinths which require weathering – which both lead to roof maintenance issues. Now, there is Roof-Pro - an independent plant support system. There are no penetrations to the waterproofing system, and all weights and types of machinery can be supported. Roof-Pro offers full flexibility for future location of services, and minimises roof maintenance. We design the frame according to: • WindStandard frames are stable to in excess of 120mph. (Figures increase when heavier loads are imposed.) • Weight Our engineers calculate roof strength at design stage • CostA cost-effective alternative to damaging roof membrane

An incredibly versatile material, Tefond Drain Plus is a high density polyethylene sheet, studded with rounded 8mm dimples. These dimples create a pathway by which excess water quickly trickles away into drains. Tefond Drain Plus comes in lightweight, 20m x 2.4m rolls and is very easy to install. Simply roll out the sheet, cut it at the required length, and use the press stud fasteners to lock the overlaps shuts. With Tefond you can: • Dry line damp walls in basements • Create a supporting layer for concrete paving flag on roof terraces • Line soil filled planter units for landscaping For these applications, Tefond comes with a woven geotextile attached, to prevent fine particles in the soil from washing away and clogging your drains.
Looking for an unusual finish? Both copper and zinc are stunning, but they can be prohibitively expensive. Now, with Tegola Shingles, you can achieve the beauty of genuine copper or zinc at a fraction of the cost. Tegola shingles are ‘slabs’ of zinc or copper with bitumen backing, which allows the shingles to be fused to a Paralon roof. (Over time, the copper will acquire a natural green sheen or patina. This patination can be accelerated with an agent.) We used Tegola Shingles to complete some prestigious projects, including: • Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, Killiney, Co. Dublin • North Kildare Educate Together School, Celbridge, Co. Kildare • Barrel Vault House Roof, Tinahely, Co. Wicklow • Holiday Inn Hotel, Pearse St, Dublin
One of the most important elements of any waterproofing system is the outlet. After all, this is where the water ends up. The correct outlet choice is dictated by the roof type, or by outlet location. At Moy Materials, we offer three different types of outlet: • Harmer outlets: Supplied in cast aluminium, with heavy-duty leaf grates, these are the optimum choice for durability. We promote the full range of standard anti-vortex outlets for both vertical and horizontal (through-wall) conditions. We also supply a wide range of specialist detail outlets, and Harmer outlets are available ex-stock. • Ital Profili outlets: We have supplied these reliable, Dutral (a PVC/rubber mix) outlets for over 20 years. The Surefix outlet, with its bolt-on clamping ring, is a popular choice. • When refurbishing, tying new waterproofing to existing pipe work can be problematic. The pro-liner outlet solves this problem with an expanding spigot, which offers a watertight-seal to the original pipe work. Refurbishment Outlets:
vMoy Materials Ltd is a trusted supplier of thermal insulation to the roofing and construction industry. And, with our extensive experience in thermal insulation, we can provide solutions for even the most complex roof configurations. First, we create an insulation layout from your roof plan. Then, we calculate the required quantities and prepare a manufacturing list to suit your requirements. We also provide detailed u-value calculations showing the projected performance of all roof types. When roof work commences, we follow up with a site visit to ensure insulation is laid correctly. We can provide insulation boards flat, or with a taper to direct rainwater runoff. The type of board depends on the application. We have 2 categories of Thermal Insulation: 1. Paratherm Insulation for Single Ply roof build-ups. 2. Paratorch Insulation for Multi Layer (bitumen) roof build-ups. • Paratorch is an integral part of the Paralon Warm Roof System. Paratorch is a CFC-free composite insulation board with a bitumen impregnated fibreboard facing. This insulation is designed to accept direct torch bonding of Paralon and can also be used in pour and roll bitumen-bonding applications. • Paratherm Insulation is a CFC-free rigid urethane insulant with a foil layer adhesively bonded to both sides. It is suited to use tapered with most mechanically fixed, single-ply waterproofing membranes. Paratherm is available in both flat and tapered boards. • Mitre Board Insulation System: One of the most common roof problems is providing adequate falls which ensure rainwater runoff is directed to rainwater outlet points. Pioneered by Moy Materials, the innovative Mitre Board System significantly reduces costs by: cutting down on the amount of wastage on-site, eliminating the need for crickets, reducing installation time and ensuring insulation thickness does not rise above that required for the target U Value.
In a modern building, every flat surface has the potential to bring a little bit of nature to our increasingly urban lifestyles. With over 25 years experience in the provision of waterproofing systems, Moy Materials has introduced a range of innovative landscaping alternatives. So, whether you want to walk in an elevated roof-top Eden, or simply add a planter box to a podium slab, we have all the products, experience and advice you need.
Roof Gardens or Green Roofs are broken into two broad categories: Intensive Roof Gardens and Extensive Roof Gardens. 1. Intensive Roof Garden Typically designed to be walked upon and used as a recreational space. These often have lawn grass, small shrubs, and even small trees growing where soil is deep enough. The Intensive Garden requires between 150mm and 300mm of soil and may incorporate paths, terrace areas, water features, etc. Decks are usually concrete slabs, necessary to support the substantial soil layer, which can weigh up to 500kg/m_. 2. Extensive Roof Garden This is a lightweight garden designed mainly for visual appeal. It uses low maintenance vegetation layers laid on a shallow bed of specially-prepared lightweight soil 50mm to 100mm deep. The Extensive Roof Garden is not designed to be walked on, other than for occasional maintenance. Its light weight means it may be installed on metal and timber decking systems. Both Intensive and Extensive Roof Gardens use special water retaining reservoir boards and geotextile fleeces laid onto the waterproofing system.
Key Components of a Green Roof: • Anti-root membrane • Drainage boards • Filter and water retention fleeces • Speciality clay • Sedum blanket

In the past, this meant penetrating the waterproofing to build support frames or casting plinths which require weathering – which both lead to roof maintenance issues. Now, there is Roof-Pro - an independent plant support system. There are no penetrations to the waterproofing system, and all weights and types of machinery can be supported. Roof-Pro offers full flexibility for future location of services, and minimises roof maintenance. We design the frame according to: • WindStandard frames are stable to in excess of 120mph. (Figures increase when heavier loads are imposed.) • Weight Our engineers calculate roof strength at design stage • CostA cost-effective alternative to damaging roof membrane
Water-permeable finishes, such as Architectural Curtain Walling, Stone Cladding, and Porous Clay Tiles, are becoming popular features in façade design. Thankfully, Rubberclad EPDM is the ideal waterproofing barrier. It is completely impermeable to water and water vapour, and can be bonded to virtually any substrate. And, there is a product for every application, whether you’re sealing an entire façade or just the joints between concrete panels and window frames. With extensive experience in EPDM systems, we can advise Architects and Engineers at design stage, offer project-specific installation guidance, and even give on-site assistance to Builders and Sub-Contractors.
• Waterproof & Airtight - Forms an impermeable barrier to water and air • Durability - Lasts over 40 years • Environmentally Friendly - It’s recycled and recyclable • Tough - Puncture resistant • Easy To Install - No special tools required • Economical - Costs less than traditional waterproofing systems • Availability - Just call for next day delivery, across Ireland.
RUBBERCLAD EPDM MEMBRANE Available in rolls of 200, 300, 500, 1000 and 1500mm. Thickness 0.7mm as standard, 0.5mm and 1.0mm are also held in stock. Special applications sometimes demand that a thicker membrane be supplied. In these cases, we can supply membrane up to 4mm thick. We can also supply larger, pre-cut panels so that a single seamless piece may be used to cover an entire elevation. SELF ADHESIVE RUBBERCLAD EPDM Self Adhesive Rubberclad has a release paper which is pulled away to expose a sticky butyl adhesive base which bonds well to steel, concrete and timber. Moy Materials Ltd stock this product in 240mm wide rolls - the optimum roll width for the glazing industry specialists. We also supply strips of partially self adhesive Rubberclad to Curtain Walling specialists who wish to have a membrane bonded to their units, with 200-300mm hanging loose so that the main contractor may seal to specialised cladding panels after a period of time. BONDING ADHESIVE BA 007. (5 Litre Can with reusable lid). This is a contact adhesive used for making overlap joints and for bonding Rubberclad to various substrates. It is applied by brush or roller to both mating surfaces. BA007 is a neoprene solvent based adhesive which is brushed onto both the substrate and the Rubberclad membrane. After the solvent evaporates the surfaces are pressed together resulting in a very strong bond. FAÇADE SEALANT FS 011. (600ml foil wrapped sachet). This adhesive and sealant paste is used to bond Rubberclad to various substrates and to seal overlaps. It is easy to apply and gives the user time to position membrane before curing. As FS011 paste is also a waterproofing sealant, it may be used to seal penetration points when mechanical fasteners (such as insulation fixings) are used, which could potentially allow water ingress. Sold in boxes of 12, each box comes complete with 12 clean nozzles designed to fit the bulk gun we supply. LAP SEALANT LS 009 Used to seal exposed edges at joints and laps, it is particularly important to use where Rubberclad is laid flat and may hold standing water. SPLICING ADHESIVE SA 008. Used to make watertight joints where water will rest on the membrane e.g. gutter lining. CLAMPING BARS. Galvanised steel bars, pre-punched or plain, used to clamp Rubberclad in position. Typically 3 metres in length and punched at 150mm centres.
Few waterproofing systems are as versatile as the Rubberclad EPDM membrane. As new and interesting projects arise, each with their own unique requirements, innovative methods of attaching the membrane and fitting the subsequent cladding systems are devised. Broadly speaking, the fitting of Rubberclad EPDM falls into three main categories: 1. Fully bonded Method 2. Partially bonded Method 3. Mechanically Clamped Method 1. The Fully Bonded Method. The Rubberclad EPDM is fully adhered to block work, concrete or timber substrate using contact adhesive BA007. This method is generally used where the insulation layer is to be bonded to the EPDM. Rubber to rubber overlaps are sealed using contact adhesive. Insulation is generally supplied with a tissue face to provide the best possible adhesion to the Rubberclad membrane. 2. The Partially Bonded Method The Rubberclad EPDM is partially adhered to the substrate using FS011 adhesive, which is applied in an “S” shaped pattern or in a series of lines approximately 500mm apart. The Rubberclad membrane is then pressed onto this adhesive and pressed home with a pressure roller. Overlaps are sealed with FS011 adhesive/sealant. The insulation system or rails for the cladding system are then installed, giving the benefit of mechanically clamping the membrane in position. 3. The Mechanically Clamped Method The Rubberclad membrane is allowed to hang vertically over the building façade. A metal clamping bar is installed at parapet level to hold the membrane in position. Subsequent clamping bars are installed at each floor level. The membrane overlaps are sealed with FS011 and all mechanical fasteners are made water tight with FS011. Full method statements and installer drawings are available from Moy Materials Ltd. We also offer advice to Designers and Installers on the most appropriate method of installation to suit individual projects.

Bon Secours Hospital
Inspired by a report which found patients who had views of vegetation recovered faster than those looking out over standard roofs, the Hospital Project design team required a Green Roof System. However, dealing with a “living” medium is a challenge for many roofing companies, and special care must be taken to ensure the greenery continues to thrive long after installation. Moy Materials was selected to create the Green Roof, due to our extensive experience, quality products and excellent technical support.

To upgrade the Church roof – both functionally and aesthetically – we used Paralon waterproofing and insulation with a Tegola Copper shingle. This material is ideal for use as a finish over bitumen membranes, and, with Paralon underneath, we can provide this unique finish for any pitch – from vertical to almost horizontal. The church, which remained open throughout the refurbishment process, looks stunning. The copper has begun the ageing process, and will soon develop the classic green patina associated with copper finish.

The Gasworks
The curvaceous Gasometer project illustrates what can be achieved when creative architects and progressive developers meet. Selected to provide waterproofing for the entire development, we delivered terraces, balconies, and of course, the roofs. Curved structures present challenges to roofing crews as lines are constantly changing. In this case, the plan for the sheet layout was carefully arranged prior to installation, and we took great pains to ensure the roof performed correctly and looked ‘right’ - even though it is not visible from the ground.

Speed and sound were the two key issues on this highly visible project, situated on a Brownfield site, just off the M50 motorway. Given its proximity to Dublin’s arterial motorway, the design team had to satisfy themselves that the selected roof would perform acoustically. Working to an exacting deadline, Moy Materials installed the fully bonded Paralon System, which offers high density insulation and acts as an excellent barrier to intrusive external noise.

Time was of the essence at this large retail park, built on a Greenfield site in Tralee, and we were appointed to ensure that the roofing project was delivered smoothly and on-deadline. For this large landmark development, we supplied the robust, durable Paralon Warm Roof System. This was installed by several skilled roofing crews, who were carefully co-ordinated to meet the tight time frame. The developer was delighted with the result, and used the same Paralon System to roof the next project on the site: The Manor Hotel.

The scale and complexity of this project threw up some interesting challenges. With variations in structure, level, and finished use, we had to tackle almost every conceivable waterproofing detail, so working closely with the design team was crucial to ensure that “as-drawn” became “as-built”. Paralon waterproofing was installed to flat roofs, roof terraces and podium areas. The Roof–Pro System - which supports roof-mounted technology such as air-con units without penetrating the waterproofing - was widely used to allow change use in the units below.
