Acrypol nurses hospital roof back to health

When the crèche roof at Trafford General Hospital began to show signs of deterioration, immediate action was required to prevent any risk of water leaking into the building. To provide a long term repair solution that allowed the crèche to remain operational throughout the application, Acrypol + fitted the bill perfectly.

Trafford General Hospital is regarded as the birthplace of the NHS, as it was the location of the very first patient to benefit from free and comprehensive medical treatment under the National Health Service. Originally opened in 1929, the building’s aged felt roof was suffering from wear and tear and needed a long term, reliable replacement.

Acrypol + incorporates an advanced chemical structure so it can be applied during damp, unpredictable weather and does not require heat, naked flame, adhesives or bitumen on site. Therefore, its application reduces potential health and safety risks associated with buildings which remain fully operational during refurbishment.

Acrypol + features a highly advanced “one-coat” structure. It gives immediate, tough, durable waterproof protection, stopping leaks and encapsulating the entire roof.

Any trapped moisture in the roof's substrate is allowed to evaporate harmlessly into the atmosphere and even the threat of damp, unpredictable weather will not stop the product’s unique compound from bonding immediately.

Now complete, the innovative waterproofing solution from Acrypol has provided an attractive and seamless roof surface that will provide year round protection from the elements.
