New build flat roof solutions

Our range of waterproofing systems, green roofs, blue roofs and solar PV solutions can be used on all new build flat roofs with some systems lending themselves to a particular project depending on specific requirements. 

Specifying the right solution

For new build projects, our range of waterproofing systems can be used with some systems lending themselves to a particular project depending on the design, cost, planning requirements, sustainability focus and life expectancy.

Our solutions extend beyond the waterproofing system to embrace green roofs, blue roofs and solar PV to ensure that you have a single source for all the roof components, and that everything is compatible and covered by our guarantee. 

Need to meet planning conditions?

Projects can often be required by planning to include an element of green roof with vegetation or recreational space, blue roof capacity for SuDS, or photovoltaics for energy generation. Our design team will support you through all the considerations required for the inclusion of these upgrades whilst also creating a scheme that safeguards the underlying Bauder waterproofing.

Why architects and building designers choose us

Clients choose us because of the way in which we do business, the way we treat every project individually, and how we work alongside customers, contractors, and all relevant stakeholders from project inception through to completion to deliver the best solution for a building.

Our proficient solutions complement your creative work, and we supply everything from waterproofing, insulation, green roof finish, blue roof components, and energy generation with our solar PV from a single source to give you peace of mind that the roof you design is delivered just as you expect.

We ensure the roof specification we generate for you meets the needs of the building and project stakeholders and will confirm the suitability of the solution to each roof area.

CCPI assessed product information

We have adopted the new Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) across our roofing portfolio to have information assessed for accuracy and clarity to ensure specifiers can rely on the data when selecting a Bauder RBM solution.

Installation of the roofing solution

Once the Bauder approved contractor has been appointed, a pre-contract meeting will make sure that the project delivery is well coordinated. The works are closely monitored by Bauder site technicians with regular inspections and live time reports to ensure the quality and waterproof integrity of the roof.

Sign off and guarantee

A full final inspection is completed by our site technician team before the guarantee is issued.

Waterproofing systems and environmental solutions

There is a Bauder waterproofing solution for every flat roof situation, whether the membrane coverings are bituminous-based, plastic or resinous.

To ensure all flat roofs maximise the roof space to support the environment, it is important to consider how a green roof, blue roof or solar PV can be incorporated, and we can help with all three.
