A recent project in St Albans stands as a testament to the restoration of a roof through a 3 layer torch on felt roof system finished with a sophisticated charcoal grey mineral.
The project began with a challenge - the existing lead on the roof had succumbed to cracks, resulting in internal leaks that threatened the integrity of the structure. The solution was a comprehensive overhaul. The decision to opt for a 3 layer torch on felt system was not just pragmatic but also strategic, as this method promises robustness and longevity.
The torch on felt system involves the meticulous layering of materials, each serving a specific purpose. The base layer provides a foundation, offering a stable surface for the subsequent layers. The intermediate layer, reinforced with fibreglass, contributes strength and durability. Finally, the top layer, in this case, a sleek charcoal grey mineral finish, serves both functional and aesthetic roles.
The restoration needed to blend seamlessly with the local St Albans aesthetic while delivering modern performance. The choice of charcoal grey mineral accomplishes this harmonious fusion, offering protection against the elements while adding a touch of contemporary elegance.
The 3 layer torch on felt system crowned with a charcoal grey mineral finish stands not just as a functional roof but as a work of art in its own right. The project in St Albans showcases the marriage of technology and tradition, proving that even a seemingly mundane task like roofing can be elevated to a masterpiece when approached with skill, care, and an eye for detail.
