Chester Zoo Refurbishment

Client: Chester Zoo
Project: Tropical Realm refurbishment
Product: Acrypol +

Acrypol +, the UK's leading roof waterproofing solution, was  specified for the Tropical Realm building at Chester Zoo - one of Europe's top visitor attractions and conservation charities.

Acrypol +, the UK’s leading roof waterproofing solution, has been specified for the Tropical Realm building at Chester Zoo – one of Europe’s top visitor attractions and conservation charities. The Tropical Realm building at Chester Zoo has remained hugely popular for nearly forty years. The zoo has an outstanding reputation for studying animal behaviour, health, welfare and conservation. A critical roof refurbishment project meant only the best products could be considered, especially those which could be installed quickly with minimum disruption to the creatures below.

Client, Chester Zoo – a charity, was keen to ensure the existing roof could be re-waterproofed fast, enabling life to return to normal as quickly as possible for those visiting, working in and inhabiting the Tropical Realm. Installed by roofing contractor D W Tilly and supplied by Warrington Plastics, Acrypol + was applied to 500SqM of roof area as part of a major refurbishment which has resulted in the best possible tropical environment, enhanced climate control and reduced fuel costs for the zoo. Because Acrypol is cold applied, contractors can also make potential savings by reduced insurance premiums as well as increasing the opportunities to win more business as building owners and specifiers become even more conscious about roof level safety issues in the months ahead. Acrypol + is available in Medium Grey or Solar White from leading builders’ merchants and specialist roofing merchants nationwide. Always ask for Acrypol + by name. Insist on the “original” professional’s choice.
