Time
Building refurbs can take time, but FILON’s Over-roofing system can save you some in a number of ways:
Matches most existing roof profiles
Profix spacer designed for fast and easy installation
No planning requirement
Removes the need to strip off existing roof coverings
Cost
Budgets are always a concern in any refurbishment project. FILON Over-roofing:
Is low-cost
Has a One-fix system that significantly reduces installation time and cost
Eliminates considerable cost of asbestos removal, handling and disposal
Minimal weight
FILON Over-roofing is lightweight yet strong, and is manufactured to the same profile as the existing roof. It therefore requires no additional structural supports. As the weight of the system is less than that of the potential water absorbed by the existing asbestos cement and fibre cement sheets, there is no requirement for structural calculations. The building will have carried heavier loads under saturation before, but the existing sheets won’t get wet again.
Minimal disruption on-site
Fixed from the outside, FILON Over-roofing allows total roof refurbishment to be carried out with minimal disruption to building occupants.
Improved insulation
Glass fibre quilt can be incorporated into the system to improve whole roof insulation values.
Asbestos and metal profile matching
Most over roofing asbestos sheet profiles can be matched. Subject to enquiry, FILON
