PREMIER ROOFING WITH BMI ICOPAL HELPS
PRESERVE PRICELESS EXHIBITS AT NATURAL
HISTORY MUSEUM
Shortlisted for the Reinforced Bitumen Membranes category of the UK Roofing
Awards 2021, the Natural History Museum at Tring, demonstrates that a close
working relationship between contractor and manufacturer can accelerate,
simplify and streamline a complex roofing contract.
With the existing flat roof sections of one building nearing the end of their life,
swiŽ remedial action was required.
Faced with a variety of challenges
for each section, BMI, working with
IMA member, Corby-based Premier
Roofing Systems, specified a number
of products from its comprehensive
range of bitumen membrane solutions.
The recommended solution was the
BMI Profiles XL system incorporating
BMI Icopal Thermazone insulation.
The £350,000 project was carried out
in three phases: the main block, the ornithology block, and then the link roof.
A detailed roof survey determined that the existing waterproofing was suitable
to be overlaid and could be utilised as a vapour check. All three blocks needed
overlaying with BMI Icopal Thermazone Tapered Insulation to boost thermal
performance in line with the required U-value, while also encouraging the
movement of rainwater to the dedicated outlet positions.
BMI’s technical team inspected the site weekly, checking that the workmanship
and materials matched the specification so that it was able to issue a 25-year
guarantee on completion.

flexible plastic film collected and sorted
from households,” explained Martin Burdekin,
UK Commercial Director at Cedo. “By adding an
Antimicrobial called BactiglasTM - a technology
developed by Wells Plastics which is used in
a wide range of applications from hospitals to
food packaging and is a trusted brand across the
healthcare industry - we’ve created a fully circular
refuse sack that can help reduce the spread of
deadly bacteria like E.coli and S.aureus. At this time
of year, as cold and flu germs are on the rise, this is
the perfect way to improve the safe handling and
disposal of household waste.”
Carl Birch, Sales and Marketing Director at Wells
Plastics said: “The Bactiglas™ active ingredient is
a compound that is natural to our environment
and toxic to bacteria, whilst being safe for humans.
Bactiglas™ is already used in consumer products,
medical devices, waste bags and aprons used in
hospitals and healthcare settings. Bactiglas™ will
provide each bag protection against bacteria which
will last throughout its shelf-life.”
In 2014, Cedo was the first company to manufacture
bin bags using post-consumer flexible plastic film,
such as used sandwich wrappers and other soŽ
plastic packaging, collected from households.
Today, the business recycles more than 80,000 tons
of plastic waste every year in its recycling centre
in Holland - which has become one of the largest
flexible film recycling centres in Europe - supplying
manufacturing sites in Poland and the UK where over
4 billion refuse sacks and bin liners are manufactured
each for customers in 34 countries. In the UK, 93% of
the plastic used by Cedo to manufacture non-food
products is from recycled sources.
“This is just the beginning of our Good Karma
range,” added Burdekin. “We’re all hugely excited
about what’s coming next as we expand our very
own brand for eco-active consumers and their
households.”
