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.
With over 140 years of industry experience, IKO is a market leader in roofing and waterproofing solutions. The CPD showcased the company’s commitment to UK manufacturing and supply chain transparency. Peter explained how modern roofing systems provide long-term performance and introduced examples where hot melt waterproofing helped solve complex design challenges. Their IKO Permatec system, for instance, is renowned for its high resistance, durability, and long life expectancy, making it a popular choice for a variety of projects.
Feedback from attendees was extremely positive. Everyone left with valuable industry knowledge and a better understanding of how to apply hot melt systems effectively. We’re grateful to Peter from the IKO team for sharing their expertise and showcasing the extensive support services they offer.
