Challenge

Deliver a highly attractive solution for a landmark facility to show off the innovative design of a roof that is visible from ground level. Achieve the architect's vision of a “uniform rolling roof” with a roof assembly designed to withstand environmental challenges, including local weather.

Solution

  • Siplast's SBS-Modified Bitumen Veral Aluminum System was used to realize the architect's vision of a distinctive uniform rolling roof surface
  • The reflective, foil-faced surface delivered on aesthetics while contributing to energy efficiency
  • The Veral Aluminium SBS-modified bitumen roof has since withstood high temperatures and severe weather
