Plymouth City Council’s Central Park Café is one of their flagship community projects. The cafe’s design features a green roof, inspired by the rolling hills in the surrounding landscape and utilises natural materials, helping it blend seamlessly with the park. The warm roof construction includes PIR insulation adhered to ALUTRIX® vapour barrier, capped with RESITRIX® SK W.

RESITRIX® is a root resistant waterproofing membrane, making it a great choice for any green roof. According to a long-term study by the Süddeutsches Kunststoff-Zentrum (SKZ), the material EPDM offers an expected service life of over 70 years due to its extreme weather and ageing resistance and its permanently elastic behaviour.

Due to the project's ambitious timeline, multiple trades were required to work simultaneously. ALUTRIX® Vapour Barrier provides a temporary waterproofing for up to five weeks which allowed the interior sub-contractors to continue their work uninterrupted by any adverse weather conditions and ensured this exciting new facility was open for business on schedule!
