Benson House

Before the correct coating system could be specified, Tor Coatings carried out a comprehensive free survey of the site to ensure every aspect of the project was clearly understood and all defects were documented thoroughly.

Tor Coatings were asked to provide specifications for all of Benson House’s roof elements. The Elastaseal Z waterproofing system was chosen as it comfortably met the design brief and delivered a 25 year warranty, something the law firm were keen to secure.

The project was carried out by Topek with site support from the Tor sales and technical service team. Initially, there was concern regarding the adhesion of the new system to the weathered zinc roof surface. However, after carrying out adhesion checks with the Elastaseal Z metal primer, the results demonstrated that the required adhesion could be achieved without any mechanical preparation, saving a significant amount of time and removing any risk of disruptive mechanical noise during application.

In addition to the comfort of having a 25 year BBA accreditation, the project is covered by Tor’s comprehensive 25-year single point warranty. During this period, we will carry out regular scheduled inspections to ensure that the performance is delivered for the client.
