Today, we hosted an insightful CPD on Hot Melt Waterproofing Systems, delivered by Peter from IKO Group for an audience of architects and specifiers.

The session provided practical knowledge on inverted roofs and monolithic waterproofing systems. It also covered key specification choices and important design considerations. We explored a wide range of topics, including hot melt waterproofing, environmental developments, and the value of UK manufacturing. Importantly, the seminar highlighted the growing importance of ESG and sustainability in modern construction.
