Roofing trends

Sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in society. Companies are being encouraged to make their buildings more sustainable. There are various ways for businesses to achieve this, including options for roofing. Prokol presents the current roofing trends for you!

Are you interested in the solutions listed below, or do you have a specific application you’d like to discuss with Prokol? Don’t hesitate to get in touch! In addition to standard systems, Prokol also offers the possibility of delivering a completely customized system for your application, in both large and small quantities!

Solar panels

One way to make your business premises more sustainable is by installing solar panels on the roof. Not only will you save on energy costs, but it will also improve your building’s energy rating and help your company contribute to a better environment. By applying ProFlect White Roof Coating from Prokol as roofing underneath your solar panels, your solar panels will operate even more efficiently, and your building will heat up less quickly.

Green heights

Another option is to install a horizontal or vertical (rooftop) garden. This can help save energy, reduce CO2 emissions, and contribute to a greener future. Green roofs are becoming increasingly popular for commercial buildings. They offer numerous benefits, such as improved insulation, a longer roof lifespan, better air quality, and a positive impact on biodiversity. It is essential that the underlying roof is well-protected. A roofing sealant that protects against root growth, ensures waterproofing, and extends the roof’s lifespan is an ideal solution. A suitable system for this is ProRoof PA-FR from Prokol.

CEO Ron Koolen shared his thoughts on ‘Green heights,’ which you can read here!

White (reflecting) roof coating

A roof coating can protect your roof from various weather conditions, thereby extending its lifespan. A white roof coating helps keep the roof temperature, and consequently the indoor temperature, lower. This is because a white coating reflects light, unlike black or dark roofing materials. In addition to Prokol’s various successful roofing products, Prokol would like to introduce you to a new product on the market: RoofTop Silicone WT.

Thermal Storage

Underground heat and cold storage solutions are increasingly being implemented for large energy consumers. These systems offer configurable standard solutions, including smart energy management, as well as storage-only options for third-party systems. By storing energy from sustainable sources, such as solar collectors on the roof, underground, these solutions enable sustainable heating and cooling. The waterproof buffers beneath buildings or parking areas can be made watertight with ProTherm HCS.

Water drainage system

During long, dry periods, water can become scarce, while at other times, there may be an excess of rainfall. To become more self-sufficient, companies sometimes install water drainage systems. These systems capture rainwater and divert it to storage, where it can be used for irrigating plants or flushing toilets. This water needs to be stored in a buffer or basin. The sustainable sealing of these storage systems can be achieved using a polyurea hotspray system from Prokol.

Recycling & upcycling

Recycle & Upcycle; is a well-known trend in sustainability, and it’s also being applied to roofing! Prokol’s liquid roofing systems and coatings are suitable for a wide range of surfaces. This often makes it possible to provide your roof with new protection without the need to first remove the existing roofing material. Additionally, Prokol offers products like ProTecto DT, which are ideal for finishing roof details, edges, seams, and for (quick) repairs. These solutions extend the lifespan of existing roofing materials or create a completely new breathable system over the current roof.
