Kalzip Foldable Aluminium Finishes Kalzip Finishes and Colours Download Kalzip Foldable Aluminium Brochure Download Frequently Asked Questions What is Kalzip foldable aluminium used for? It is used for traditional fully supported standing-seam roof coverings, façades, flashings, cappings, gutters and complex architectural metalwork. It is formed and seamed using recognised sheet-metal techniques over a suitable supporting construction. What does “fully supported” mean? The metal covering is installed over a continuous or closely supported substrate rather than spanning widely between purlins like a profiled Kalzip standing-seam sheet. The substrate, separation layer, clips and seam arrangement must allow drainage and thermal movement. Can it be formed into curved or complex details? Aluminium’s formability allows skilled installers to create curved surfaces, tapered areas and complex junctions. Minimum radii, sheet dimensions and forming limits depend on the selected alloy, temper and finish. Which finish is suitable near the coast? Coastal suitability should be confirmed from the current Kalzip finish and warranty matrix. Salt exposure, distance from the sea, orientation, rainfall washing, cut edges and contact with other metals all influence the specification. Does the metal provide the complete roof performance? No. The supporting deck, vapour control, insulation, separation layer, clips, seams, ventilation, drainage and interface details determine the performance of the complete roof or façade.

Etorch3 Download Frequently Asked Questions What is the ETORCH3 designed to do? The ETORCH3 is an electrically powered roofing tool intended for controlled drying of suitable roof decks and selected heat-activation tasks. It must be operated within the manufacturer’s stated settings and the requirements of the roofing system being installed. Can it be used with self-adhesive membranes? It may be used to assist activation of approved self-adhesive products where the membrane manufacturer permits controlled heat activation. The correct setting, distance, speed and substrate condition must be confirmed before use. Can it dry a wet roof deck? It can assist in removing surface moisture from suitable substrates, but it does not confirm that insulation, screeds or the roof build-up are dry internally. Moisture testing and investigation may still be required before waterproofing is installed. Can the ETORCH3 be used in cold weather? Cold-weather use depends on the equipment operating limits and the minimum installation temperature of the roofing material. Heating a surface does not override restrictions relating to condensation, frost, adhesive storage or membrane temperature. What should be checked before using the equipment? Confirm the electrical supply, cable protection, machine condition, airflow and heat setting, substrate suitability and the roofing manufacturer’s instructions. Operators should also complete the required risk assessment and keep the equipment clear of combustible materials.

Green Roofing Systems for Sustainable Irish Buildings Green roofing systems (sometimes referred to as living roofs) provide a practical way to improve building performance while delivering environmental benefits. These systems combine waterproofing, drainage, growing media, and vegetation to create roofs that manage rainwater, improve insulation, and extend the life of the underlying membrane. QBM supplies complete green roofing systems for projects across Dublin and Ireland, supporting both extensive and intensive installations. From lightweight sedum roofs on commercial buildings to deeper landscaped systems on new developments, we help contractors and specifiers select solutions that suit structural capacity, budget, and maintenance expectations. Extensive green roofs use shallow growing media and low-maintenance planting, making them ideal for commercial buildings where access is limited. Intensive systems use deeper substrates to support a wider range of plants and create usable roof spaces, but require greater structural capacity and ongoing maintenance. When correctly specified and installed, green roofing systems perform reliably in Irish weather conditions, helping manage rainfall, reduce heat build-up, and support sustainable construction goals. QBM provides technical guidance, product compatibility advice, and complete system supply to ensure long-term performance. Got a Question? Find the Answer Here Can green roofs be installed on existing buildings in Ireland? Green roofs can be retrofitted onto existing Irish buildings if structural capacity permits the additional weight of saturated growing medium, drainage layers, and vegetation. Engineers must verify that existing roof structures can safely support green roof loads, typically ranging from 60-900 kg/m², depending on system depth. Many older buildings lack adequate capacity without costly reinforcement. Waterproofing must be in excellent condition or replaced with root-resistant membranes before installation. Access for installation and maintenance also requires consideration. Feasibility studies combining structural assessment and cost analysis determine retrofit viability. What plants grow best on Irish green roofs? Irish green roofs perform well with native sedum species, grasses, and wildflowers adapted to local climate conditions, including high rainfall, moderate temperatures, and occasional drought. Sedum album, Sedum acre, and Sedum reflexum dominate extensive systems due to exceptional drought tolerance and minimal maintenance requirements. Deeper intensive systems support native grasses like fescues, wildflowers including thrift and bird's-foot trefoil, plus hardy perennials and shrubs. Plant selection considers exposure to wind, substrate depth, irrigation availability, and maintenance commitment. Native species provide superior biodiversity value compared to exotic alternatives whilst requiring less intervention. How do green roofs perform during Irish winters? Green roofs function reliably during Irish winters when properly designed for local conditions. Most sedum species remain semi-evergreen, providing year-round coverage and stormwater management. Substrate and vegetation insulate underlying waterproofing from freeze-thaw cycles that damage conventional roofing. Drainage systems must handle increased winter rainfall without blockage or overflow. Snow loads combine with saturated substrate weight, requiring structural verification during design. Properly specified systems withstand Irish winter conditions without special intervention. Spring growth typically fills any winter damage naturally. Annual autumn maintenance removes debris before winter to maintain drainage function. Looking for Your Ideal Roofing Product? Get in Touch with Us Today. Get in Touch

In over 40 years of work alongside our customers, our range has evolved and adapted to the most innovative and revolutionary architectural needs. – Accessories for bituminous membranes. – Accessories for PVC-P synthetic membranes. – Accessories for EPDM Italprofili brochure Download Frequently Asked Questions Which waterproofing systems does Italprofili support? Italprofili manufactures roof accessories for bituminous membranes, PVC-P and TPO synthetic membranes, mechanically fixed systems and selected cementitious or liquid waterproofing applications. The exact flange or accessory material must match the waterproofing system. What types of accessories are available? The range includes outlets, vents, pipe penetrations, coated profiles, fixings, installation aids and specialist components. Availability and dimensions vary by product family and should be checked against the current catalogue. Why use a membrane-specific accessory? A compatible flange allows the roof membrane to be welded, bonded or incorporated using the manufacturer’s intended method. A generic accessory may create chemical, adhesion or movement problems at a critical waterproofing detail. Can Italprofili products be used on refurbishment projects? Selected renovation outlets, vents and detailing components can be used where the existing roof and proposed overlay have been assessed. The outlet capacity, connection, retained pipework and compatibility with the new membrane must be confirmed. Does QBM help with product selection? QBM can help identify an Italprofili product from the required function, dimensions and membrane type. The final drainage, structural and waterproofing detail remains the responsibility of the project designer and installer.

Polyroof Protec Download Frequently Asked Questions How quickly does Protec cure? Polyroof RapidCure technology allows cure times to be adjusted using approved catalysts, accelerators and inhibitors, with times as low as approximately 30 minutes in suitable conditions. The actual cure and overcoating period depends on temperature, formulation and application. Which substrates can receive Protec? Protec can be specified over a range of new and existing roof substrates. Every surface must be surveyed, cleaned and prepared, and some substrates require a carrier layer, reinforcement, primer or local repairs before coating. How does Protec differ from Protec Evolve? Both are reinforced Polyroof liquid-waterproofing systems using RapidCure technology. Protec Evolve adds an ultra-low-odour formulation and Polyroof’s certified carbon-neutral offsetting programme. The project specification should determine which system is appropriate. Can Protec achieve BROOF(t4)? Specific Protec roof build-ups can achieve BROOF(t4). The evidence must correspond to the proposed deck, insulation, carrier, application and finish; the classification should not be attributed to the liquid resin in isolation. Can Protec be used on a zero-fall roof? The BBA certificate includes specified zero-fall applications, but good roof design should still promote drainage and provide correctly sized primary and emergency outlets. Structural deflection and long-term standing water should be considered before relying on a zero-fall arrangement.

Looking For Flat Roof Light Systems? QBM Stocks Rooflights, Skylights And Flat Glass Roof Windows. Quality Products Designed To Maximise Natural Daylight. Flat Roof Light Systems: Rooflights, Skylights & Roof Windows FLAT ROOFS - MEANS OF ILLUMINATION The benefits of natural illumination of buildings are unquestionable but in those with flat roofs it is not always possible to install sufficient standard vertical windows. < Back Next > Fakro Light Tunnels Fakro Flat Roof Lights Proud Stockist of: To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key. Premium Rooflights That Deliver Style and Performance Contemporary flat aluminium rooflights offer clean, minimal frames with large glass areas, making them ideal for modern builds and extensions where design matters as much as function. The slim profiles maximise daylight and reduce visual bulk, working particularly well in living spaces and open-plan kitchens. Most feature thermally broken frames to prevent condensation and heat loss at the frame edges, though not all budget options include this important detail. VELUX flat roof windows remain a popular choice for residential projects, combining brand recognition with proven product quality. Options include fixed units for pure daylighting and opening versions that add ventilation, with accessories such as blinds, awnings, and smoke ventilation variants available across the range. Fixed flat glass units prioritise simplicity and light transmission, making them ideal for roof skylight applications in hallways, stairwells, and other areas where ventilation isn't the primary concern. Without opening mechanisms, there are fewer components to fail over time, contributing to long-term reliability. Glass specifications vary widely, including double- or triple-glazing, tinted options, and self-cleaning coatings, providing flexibility to meet both thermal and practical requirements. Not every project needs a premium solution. Rooflite and similar products offer solid performance at more accessible price points, making them particularly common in utility areas, garages, and commercial spaces where function outweighs design considerations. These still meet relevant thermal and weather resistance standards, so budget-friendly doesn't mean compromising on the basics. Got a Question? Find the Answer Here What's the difference between a flat rooflight and a flat roof window? The terms are often used interchangeably, though "rooflight" typically refers to larger, more architectural units with minimal framing, whilst "roof window" usually describes smaller opening units like VELUX products. Both serve the same purpose of bringing natural light into spaces below flat roofs. Your choice depends on the size of the opening, whether ventilation is needed, and aesthetic preferences. Do flat roof lights need planning permission in Ireland? Most domestic flat roof light installations fall under permitted development and don't require planning permission, provided they meet certain conditions. Generally, the rooflight shouldn't protrude more than 150mm above the roof plane and shouldn't face a public road on a principal elevation. Conservation areas and protected structures have stricter rules. It's always worth checking with your local planning authority before committing to a specification. How do flat rooflights handle Irish weather conditions? Quality flat roof lights are tested to cope with wind-driven rain, standing water, and temperature extremes. Look for products with good weathertightness ratings and proper drainage channels around the frame. Installation quality matters enormously here; even excellent products can leak if fitted poorly. Thermal performance also affects condensation risk, so specifying appropriate U-values for Irish conditions helps avoid moisture problems inside. How do I prevent condensation around flat roof windows? Condensation typically occurs when warm, moist internal air meets cold surfaces. Choose rooflights with thermally broken frames to minimise cold spots at frame edges. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room, particularly in bathrooms and kitchens. Triple-glazed units offer better thermal performance than double-glazed alternatives. Proper installation with insulated kerbs also prevents thermal bridging around the opening. Can flat roof lights be installed on any flat roof? Flat roof lights can be installed on most flat or low-pitch roofs (up to 15 degrees typically), but the roof structure must be assessed first. The opening needs adequate support, and the waterproofing must be properly detailed around the unit. Some very shallow-pitch roofs may require specific products designed for minimal falls. We can advise on suitability for your particular roof type and construction. Looking for Your Ideal Roofing Product? Get in Touch with Us Today. Get in Touch

When there is no opportunity to install roof or vertical windows in order to provide natural light, the light tunnel is an effective solution. Thanks to the light tunnel, natural light gets into the building illuminating its interior. In the other rooms light tunnels can be an additional source of light.

In the other rooms light tunnels can be an additional source of light. < Back Next > FAKRO Light tunnel When there is no opportunity to install roof or vertical windows in order to provide natural light, the light tunnel is an effective solution. Thanks to the light tunnel, natural light gets into the building illuminating its interior. In the other rooms light tunnels can be an additional source of light. The amount of light which enters the room via the light tunnels depends on the light intensity outside the building. The more light that illuminates the dome of the light tunnel, the more light is conveyed to the building interior. The below diagram illustrates the full amount of the daylight (lm) depending on the month and cloudiness measured at the light tunnel dome. Flat Roof System Products Brochure Download Frequently Asked Questions Which rooms are suitable for a light tunnel? Light tunnels are commonly used in internal bathrooms, halls, corridors, stairwells, storage rooms and other spaces with limited access to vertical or roof windows. The room size, ceiling height and desired light level determine the number and size required. How does a light tunnel transfer daylight? A roof-mounted dome or glazed element collects daylight and directs it through a reflective rigid or flexible tube to a ceiling diffuser. Short, straight tube runs generally transmit more light than long or heavily angled routes. Does the light output change during the year? Yes. Output varies with cloud cover, season, roof orientation, shading and the position of the sun. Supplementary electric lighting may still be necessary, particularly during winter or at night. Can a light tunnel pass around obstructions? Flexible tubes and angled rigid sections can accommodate some roof and ceiling obstructions. Every bend and additional length reduces light transmission, so the route and maximum permitted length should be checked against the selected FAKRO system. What maintenance is required? The roof dome or glazing, flashing and ceiling diffuser should be periodically inspected and cleaned where required. Any signs of damage, condensation or water ingress should be investigated in accordance with the manufacturer’s maintenance guidance.
