An increasing number of main contractors are turning to Rock for assistance in developing more sustainable buildings through renewable technology. Due to the growing demand for renewable energy sources, the manufacturing of solar cells and photovoltaic (PV) arrays has advanced considerably in recent years. As a company that is committed to using roofs more intelligently, we’re keen to promote the role that PV can play in helping to create zero carbon buildings.
Rock is able to offer a complete photovoltaics package. We are accredited to supply and install PV by the MCS, which certifies microgeneration technologies used to produce electricity and heat from renewable sources. But why come to Rock for PV? Because we strongly believe that a leader in waterproofing technology is most appropriate. Only a company with Rock’s keen understanding and experience in roofing is able to ensure that a PV system is installed in such a way that the integrity of your roof’s waterproofing is fully maintained. To discover more on how photovoltaics can benefit your building, get in touch with Rock today.

Green roofs and asphalt – a peerless combination
Rock is the supplier of the Ultimate Green Roof, an extensive and highly flexible system which has been employed by architects and developers to enhance all types of buildings. A flat roof designed to support plant life is, of course, only viable when combined with an efficient waterproofing solution. Adaptable, cost-efficient and extremely robust, asphalt is the first choice for many applications. But for green roofs especially, its capabilities have been proven time and time again.
The landscaped terraces we created for Watermark Place, one of the City’s newest and most prestigious developments, is supported by our Flexiphalte Triple Protection, a mastic asphalt that ensures complete peace of mind. On an earlier project, we supplied £7million of asphalt for Paradise Street, located at the heart of the Liverpool ONE retail complex. This was a buried podium deck with a green roof, which represents a very demanding environment for waterproofing. Such is our asphalt’s durability, however, that in the five years since installation, Rock have never once been called back for even the most minor repair work.

NBS specifications for Rock’s J21 asphalte
At Rock, we want to make it simple for you to evaluate the suitability of our core waterproofing products for your new-build or refurbishment project. With this in mind, we’ve taken steps to make the details on some of our products much more accessible. For the first time, the Rock website will feature NBS specifications for our own manufactured J21 mastic asphalt products. This, we believe, will greatly assist architects and developers who are looking to select the best quality products for car parks, lorry decks, structural waterproofing and roofing.
One of the chief reasons that Rock has remained market leader is that we are unique in being both a manufacturer and contractor. And that, as many clients have discovered, comes with major advantages in terms of the quality of the product itself and how it is installed on site.
