CASE STUDY – St. Nicholas Leisure Centre, Warwick
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Strata Waterproofing supplied two complementary roofing systems and provided technical support throughout the refurbishment of St Nicholas Leisure Centre in Warwick. Combining StrataBit built-up felt and StrataPlan PVC single ply, the project delivered a fully compliant, long-term waterproofing solution across almost 800m² of roofing.
THE CHALLENGE
The refurbishment comprised two separate roof areas with contrasting construction types. A 550m² concrete deck above the swimming pool required a robust built-up felt solution capable of delivering long-term waterproofing performance, while a 246m² metal deck required a tapered insulation scheme to create positive falls before installation of a lightweight single ply waterproofing system. Careful specification, technical support and close collaboration between manufacturer and contractor were essential to ensure both roof areas achieved the required levels of performance and compliance.
THE SOLUTION
Strata supplied two complementary roofing systems tailored to each application. The swimming pool roof was completed using the StrataBit Rapid-O built-up felt system installed over Magply cover board and Strata Primer QD, providing a fast, reliable solution for the concrete deck. The adjoining metal deck was completed using the StrataPlan PVC single ply system installed over mechanically fixed tapered PIR insulation, creating effective drainage while delivering a durable, high-performance waterproofing solution.
Throughout the project, Strata’s technical team worked alongside Stace Roofing from specification through to final inspection, ensuring both roof areas achieved full compliance.
