Metal roof on an industrial warehouse.
Weather influences had strongly affected the metal roof of an industrial warehouse at Hepco & Becker GmbH in Pirmasens: hail damage was apparent on the trapezoidal sheet metal, the existing coating was coming off in some places and the metal was badly rusted. In order to avoid any more damage, the original function of the roof profiles needed to be restored as quickly as possible while the coating should be sustainably improved at the same time. As the contracting company, Gebrüder Folz GmbH, Pirmasens had already been experiencing excellent Triflex systems for five years, they too decided on the liquid applied waterproofing specialists’ products for this project. The contractors used Triflex Metal Primer and Triflex Metal Coat to produce a new surface protection to extend the service life of the metal roof.
