- Result 3 Collaborative Knowledge Base Platform
3Exploitable Results of NU-ROOF Project
RESULT N1
New roofing system based on multifunctional
materials (micro-encapsulation technologies,
non-woven textile matrices, coatings and
non-bitumen based material) applicable with safe
and fault-tolerant laying procedures
The producers will gain in providing to their
customers a high performance product, easy to
apply and requiring less maintenance, as well as
introducing functionalities thus increasing
overall added value
4Exploitable Results of NU-ROOF Project
RESULT N2
Application guidelines for new roofing systems
The application guidelines will help to train and
advise users. Trained and certified users can
guarantee less failures and so reduce the risk of
leakages. This will reduce costs for owner of
buildings for repair and will prolong the
expected life time of the roof with waterproofing
