Insulating company uses Mapei product on Soweto church roof

Multi-Dex 2000 of Edenvale, Gauteng, an approved applicator of Mapei sealants, adhesives and chemical products for building, recently completed refurbishing the 9 000 m² roof of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG) in Orlando West, Soweto, using one of Mapei’s insulation products.

“We have tackled a number of difficult projects but this job was especially interesting and challenging,” said Warren Botha, Director of the company.

“We were working 18 m off the ground and experienced delays as a result of high winds that made it unsafe to handle the sheets of insulation and torch-on waterproofing. Added to this, the roof was dome-shaped and presented a 35-50 degree gradient that was difficult to measure, let alone work on.

“In spite of this, we still managed to complete the project in seven weeks. For the final protective finish, we used Mapei’s Polypaint Alu, which is easy to apply and gives reliable and exceptionally good results.”

Mapei’s Polypaint Alu is a versatile water-based, effective silver paint designed to protect talc, sand and granulated bituminous polymer membranes, as well as unprotected liquid bituminous coatings, from UV sunlight.

“We have been using Mapei products for about three years now,” commented Botha. “We regularly use the silver protective paint, the Mapeilastic cementitious waterproofing mortar products, as well as other waterproofing products in their range.”
