Riverclack waterproof roof covering prepares for UK debut

Italian company Iscom is to launch its standing seam aluminium roof covering system for large roofs in the UK next year.
Riverclack is a metal roof covering system composed of sheets produced as long as necessary. The longest one to be installed so far is 80m-long.
The system brings new water tightness guarantees to the standing seam roofing market and because of its design it does not need any gasket.
Tests have proved the system is waterproof even if completely flooded, a company spokesman said. It is often used for retrofit operations to overcome problems of watertightness on faulty roofs.
Riverclack does not require any special tools for installation as it is not a clamped system. It is fastened by a simple foot pressure and a snap-locking system.
The covering is manufactured in aluminium alloy 5754 mill-finished or pre-painted and is available in copper or stainless steel.
"Long life, no maintenance and installation quickness are the properties that make it low cost, either for big or for small projects," said the spokesman. Iscom has signed a deal with a distributor to sell the system in the UK.
