AlkorPlan® membrane as used for the Roof of the Year 2006 in Hungary. 

An international Committee consisting of thirteen persons, including a representative from a member of IFD-SVDW (Mr. Ernst Weber, International Roofers Association - Swiss Roofers Association) and also a member from IFD-ZVDH(Mr. Artur Wierschem, International Roofers Association - German Roofers Association.) chose the roof of the “VÁTI” building as the Roof of the Year 2006 in Hungary. 
The building is located in Budapest and was originally designed by Pataky & Horváth Architect Office. The Vati Building is approximately 100 years old and was built as a tobacco factory with offices.  The roof had previously been repaired in the past by using Hot Bitumen, but from time to time the roof still leaked. For the latest repair the heat insulation layer was replaced, corrections were made to the slopes before the RENOLIT AlkorPlan® membrane was installed to protect the 2233 square meter roof..

TECTUM Kft the approved contractor who installed the waterproofing membrane made a terrific job.  TECTUM Kft chose the AlkorPlan® membrane for this refurbishment project as it is easy to install, is UV, age and weather resistant.
TECTUM Kft set a very high standard of workmanship and achieved satisfactory results by ensuring professionalism and quality at every step of the process, resulting in the title of “Roof of the Year 2006” in Hungary.
