A waterproofing system has to withstand a great deal. An extremely wide variety of weather conditions, as well as thermal and mechanical influences, lead to severe material movements and can quickly age conventional systems. It is here that the unique material EPDM shows just how versatile it really is. The synthetic ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber has excellent material properties due to its molecular mesh structure – and is unbeatable in terms of elasticity and resistance to ageing. The EPDM manufacturing process won a Nobel Prize in 1963 – and with good reason too. VERSATILE,...

COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES MICROSOFT HEADQUARTERS, MUNICH, GERMANY “Smart workspaces” is the concept that is set to give as much free space as possible to the 1,900 employees in Microsoft’s new headquarters in Germany. To ensure that the work / life balance is right, places where people can retreat to focus on their work, teamwork areas and lounges were thought of, as were an in-house fitness studio and eleven roof terraces. Around 5,000 m2 of the root-resistant waterproofing membrane RESITRIX® SK W Full Bond were applied to the flat roof, the balconies and the lavish landscaped terraces....

Strong statements in black. EPDM façade systems are not only permanently elastic and waterproof; they are extremely interesting for architects from an aesthetic standpoint too. The weather resistant material can be used to create a smooth transition from the roof, over the façade, to the building waterproofing in the area in contact with the ground. This opens up new and exciting opportunities for building envelope design. Unusually soft edges and smooth, surprisingly soft looking surfaces in distinctive black break away from visual norms.

POPCLUSTER 013, TILBURG, THE NETHERLANDS A well insulated eye catcher: A decorative touch is added to Popcluster 013 – an events hall for pop concerts by means of an extravagant, black, Chesterfield-style EPDM façade. The façade structure consists of brickwork onto which a timber frame with an intermediate insulating layer made of mineral wool was affixed. Special anchors and CDs to mark the fixing points hold the cladding in place with HERTALAN® EPDM membranes. In total, 1,630 m2of HERTALAN® EASY COVER were applied for the expressive project.

GREEN ROOF Everything’s OK in the green space. Green roofs create living space. Not only do they visually enhance the building architecture; they also help to create a healthy environment. A variety of ecosystems and new recreational areas are created for people using root-resistant EPDM products – so that they can relax or tend to their urban gardens. While green areas on roofs keep the heat in the building in the winter, they serve as a heat shield and humidifier in summer and thus make a valuable contribution to saving energy.

GREEN ROOF APIARY, APELERN, GERMANY The apiary in Apelern is multi-faceted: The thermal insulation between the rafters is made of rock wool with a climate membrane vapour barrier, while the common rafters below the ceiling were plastered with clay. The solid framework with an initial covering of bitumen on to which RESITRIX® SK W Full Bond was then applied on a surface area of 210 m2. Planning firm: Dipl.-Ing.

PUBLIC BUILDING ROTTERDAM CENTRAL STATION, THE NETHERLANDS The new Rotterdam Central Station - a modern transport hub and an architectural masterpiece at the same time. The tapered hall roof clad with stainless steel slats and a 28,000 m2 retractable roof structure made from multilayer glass panels are real eye-catchers. To waterproof the steel drainage channels, which measure three kilometres long in total, CARLISLE® made a special shape that could be used to prefabricate the drainage details for the gutters made of HERTALAN® EPDM using the hot bonding process. The roofing company lined the...
