DEKS Industries has launched a new flat roofing range that it promises to transform how builders approach flat roof installations
The comprehensive product suite addresses common challenges faced by construction professionals while delivering superior waterproofing and durability.
Developed in response to growing industry demands, the range includes roof drain connectors, pipe collars, parapet drains, and roof vents – all engineered to integrate seamlessly with popular roofing membranes including EPDM, TPO, PVC, GRP and bituminous systems.
“We recognised that builders needed more versatile, reliable solutions for flat roof installations,” explains Oliver Janes, Managing Director at DEKS. “Our new range combines advanced polymer technology with practical features that make installation faster and more efficient.”
Versatile solutions
The range’s innovation is its universal compatibility with different roofing membranes. Each component incorporates features like anti-capillary gasket rings and perforated flanges, ensuring superior sealing and adhesion across various applications. This versatility means builders can confidently tackle diverse projects while maintaining consistent quality.
Particularly noteworthy are the roof drain connectors, which feature a cone-shaped design for easy installation into various rainwater pipe sizes. Manufactured from high-quality flexible polymers, they maintain elasticity even in cold conditions, while anti-capillary rings enhance sealing performance.
For builders working with challenging installations, the corner edge parapet drains offer practical solutions for directing rainwater from roofing membranes to wall-mounted pipes. These fittings feature perforated flanges for optimal adhesion and long spigots accommodating walls up to 40cm thick.
Installation efficiency was a key consideration during product development. The range includes features like smooth flanges for thermal bonding and pre-priming options for improved adhesion, significantly reducing on-site preparation time. Universal sizing further streamlines the installation process, minimising the need for specialised tools or adjustments.
Sustainable performance
Environmental sustainability hasn’t been overlooked either. The products are designed to minimise waste during installation and maximise lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements. The airtight seals contribute to building energy efficiency by maintaining insulation integrity.
Rigorous testing under various conditions, including high UV exposure, freezing temperatures, and chemical exposure, ensures the range meets the demanding requirements of UK building sites. This thorough development process has resulted in products that deliver consistent performance across different climates and project scales.
“Our goal was to create solutions that make builders’ lives easier while ensuring outstanding long-term performance,” adds Janes. “This range represents our commitment to supporting construction professionals with products they can rely on.”
With its focus on compatibility, ease of installation, and long-term performance, this comprehensive flat roofing range offers builders practical, durable solutions that enhance project efficiency and quality.
