Tweeddale Primary, Roof Replacement in 10 Days

Working closely with the building surveyor, Jack proposed a specification using the R-MER TILE ST system that combines the classic aesthetics of a traditional tile, with the high-performance characteristics of steel. An ideal waterproofing solution for the school, the original tile aesthetic could be retained and would require very little maintenance and protect the school for decades to come.

R-MER TILE ST is available in a wide range of profiles making it an ideal choice for matching with the school’s existing pitched tile roofs. 

Each profile is manufactured in lightweight steel sheets weighing under 10kg/m2, allowing for easy handling and rapid installation. 

One of the biggest limitations of a traditional roof tile is wind uplift which can rip tiles from the roof during poor weather conditions and storms. Due to the mechanical fixing used for the TILE ST panels, the system is able to withstand winds of up to 100mph making it ideal for harsh environments such as coastal properties.

This system was relatively new for the Garland Approved Contractor, Accurate Roofing, so regular site visits from the Technical Manager was imperative to provide assistance with the installation process. 

Overall the team working on the project were extremely impressed by the simplicity of the installation process, where the R-MER TILE ST was installed in just 5 days and the project was completed in 10. The school was delighted with the speed at which Garland was able to complete the project, meaning students could continue their classes with minimal disruption incurred.

This combined with a 25 year Single-Point Guarantee assured the school that the R-MER TILE ST waterproofing system was built to last, as they looked ahead to access their other roofing assets in the coming months.
