Roofshield® Delivers Top Quality to Bespoke New Build in Roseisle

 

When building an all-new house, you cannot afford to settle for lower-quality materials if you seek longevity, durability and a more comfortable living environment.

What's more, superior materials coupled with skilled contractors usually result in less maintenance and repair expenses, saving homeowners both time and money in the long run while also enhancing the property's overall value.

This bespoke new build house, built by Excel Scotland, located in the small, picturesque village of Roseisle in Morayshire, is an excellent example. Excel Scotland is a family-run business specialising in one-off bespoke new builds in the Moray, Highlands and Aberdeenshire areas. With a small, but flexible and experienced team, unrivalled local knowledge and trusted suppliers, the company has always prioritised quality over quantity, ensuring that each project meets the highest standards.

As the original air and vapour permeable roofing membrane, tried and tested in real-world conditions for almost 30 years, Roofshield® has been chosen as a key component of the roof that covers this beautiful home. Made in the UK by Don & Low, the countries only vertically integrated construction membrane manufacturer, with over 230 years of history, Roofshield® delivers consistent performance that the industry can rely on.

Thanks to its simple, flexible installation and no requirement for intricate ventilation details around roof projections, hip-ends, mansard, flat or dormer roofs, Roofshield® enables savings on both materials and labour costs, while simultaneously speeding up the roof’s completion.

Roofshield® is engineered to create a water-resistant barrier against rain and snow, achieving the highest class, W1, for water penetration resistance. This ensures that structures remain dry and protected, shielding the interior from the harsh elements. Moreover, Roofshield® offers breathability, allowing moisture vapour to escape while maintaining a weather-tight seal. This special feature mitigates important issues like condensation and mould growth, ensuring a healthy indoor environment and prolonging the life of the roof and the whole building.

Roofshield® is BBA-certified for use in unventilated cold and warm pitched roofs, in both fully supported and unsupported roofing applications. Roofshield® is also NSAI-certified and NHBC-accepted. Its wind uplift resistance allows use in all zones (1-5). Conversely, Roofshield® can withstand challenges posed by external factors such as UV radiation and temperature fluctuations.

Ross Macpherson, Managing Director of Excel Scotland, said:

‘Excel Scotland only uses first-class products that are perfectly suited for high-end construction projects, delivering exceptional results every time. Roofshield® is a trusted solution that meets all of our demands and keeps customers happy.’
