15 year roof system guarantee from Marley provides protection for specifiers
Gavin White, product manager at Marley, discusses how specifying a comprehensive, high quality roof system can provide numerous benefits including the reassurance and protection provided by a single 15 year systems guarantee.
Marley provides the most comprehensive roof system on the market.We recently added timber products such as the BS 5534 compliant JB RED roofing batten to our range alongside our brand new underlays, and can therefore provide more critical roof elements than any other manufacturer.
This provides a number of valuable benefits for specifiers.
Firstly, our unrivalled roof system not only comes complete with the reassurance that all the elements are designed and tested to work seamlessly together, but it also provides additional peace of mind with a 15 year system guarantee.This offers greater protection to specifiers helping to reduce risk to their design liability, giving them all-important peace of mind.
Secondly, getting the most comprehensive system from one single source and limiting how many suppliers they have to deal with, frees up specifiers’ valuable time as they do not have to deal with multiple product suppliers for a project.
In addition, a roof system covering so many products gives maximum control of the supply chain.This can minimise the risk of unmonitored product choice or substitution further down the supply chain.For example, anything specified generically by type and not by product name, such as roofing batten, does allow the opportunity for products to be sourced further down the line by contractors involved. Specifically, with the example of roofing batten, there is a range of BS 5534 compliant product on the market. Marley is the only UK supplier of mechanically graded roofing batten using a state of the art laser scanning process called Goldeneye, which ensures high levels of quality and consistency, helping to minimise on-site waste, cost and health and safety risks. By specifying a high quality – mechanically graded - batten such as our JB RED, as part of the overall roofing system, specifiers can benefit from the assurance that such a high quality product delivers and can ensure the roof is compliant to British Standards.
Furthermore, for a specifier, having a single point of contact at a supplier covering the full roof system ensures swift resolution of queries and can speed-up accessing information and advice, and therefore, helps to save time.
When it comes to the elements of a roof system, Marley’s range of roof coverings such as tiles and slates to fittings and accessories, right through to battens and underlays, are all of the highest quality, designed and tested with maximum performance and durability in mind. This means specifiers can be assured of the quality of the entire system and all its component parts, and that it will achieve maximum performance as all parts are purpose made to work seamlessly together.
Marley also provides technical support, online resources and an assured specification service to remove the hassle from producing bespoke specifications for every project.This can help specifiers seeking to save time in the process, and avoid the risky practice of reusing old specifications.
We believe accessing a complete, high-performance roof system from us provides greater control in specification, unequalled performance and ultimately, peace of mind, so specifiers can focus on other areas of a project.
