For repair, refurbishment and new build, you need to have an effective long-term waterproofing and surfacing solution for education buildings and infrastructure. With Triflex innovative solutions we can often avoid the more costly and disruptive approach of a school roof replacement.
An incorrect specification can result in water ingress or condensation build up which will damage the fabric of a building and is a hazard to its inhabitants. Simply ignoring the problem or opting for a cheap answer is an expensive mistake.

Funding assistance CIF
Triflex has worked with educational facilities for many years and we have a lot of experience of helping schools gain CIF (Condition Improvement Fund) funding from the ESFA (Education and Skills Funding Agency) for refurbishment, repair or improvement.
Our technical team will assess existing facilities and provide detailed condition reports with recommendations and costings to meet ESFA requirements. Working in partnership with a national network of education consultants, we can help you tailor your CIF bid submission to help it succeed.
How we can help:
- We understand the needs of the education sector
- Thorough and in-depth surveying, testing and condition reports
- Extensive recommendations and costings to meet ESFA requirements
- Support with tailored CIF bid submissions
Triflex designed a waterproofing system and also upgraded the insulation to comply with current building regulations. The solution helped with our funding application and the cold applied products meant there was no fire risk and limited noise so allowed Triflex to adapt to our programme requirements and term time installation with little disruption to our school.
Triflex and their approved contractor attended a pre start meeting. Regular planned visits by Triflex site technicians were carried out with written inspection and progress reports following. All the Triflex team were DBS checked. The roof was completed on time with a robust system warranty for the required period.

Getting your waterproofing specification right
Our job is to make sure that you get the right solution over the long term. Our cold applied waterproofing and surfacing systems are based on extensive research and development, but helping you get the right answer is about far more than this.

- Specification proposal. After evaluating your project, we will provide you with a comprehensive bespoke specification
- Installation. We only work with trained authorised contractors and we provide onsite support and quality control
- Warranty. Our solutions are underpinned by meaningful warranties backed by insurance
Safe year-round application
Unlike traditional hot applied roofing systems, like asphalt, Triflex cold applied waterproofing and surfacing systems can be installed at any time of year, even during term time. They are totally safe, do not use solvents or isocyanates and pose no fire risk.
The curing process typically takes about 60 minutes regardless of the external temperature, and a typical school roof can be completed in a day. Minimal pre-works are required, the waterproofing and surfacing system can be patched or applied straight over the top of the existing solution. There is no need for skips and nothing to take to landfill.
It means that you can provide long term protection for your buildings and infrastructure with minimal disruption, while students can continue learning in a safe and comfortable environment.
Multiple applications
Our waterproofing and surfacing systems are designed for all structures and applications including roofs, playgrounds, walkways, terraces, balconies, stairs, stairwells and access ramps. They are functional, durable, slip resistant and aesthetic.
Roofing solutions
For long term protection of new build and as a rapid, effective answer for repair and refurbishment, our roof and waterproofing systems provide the highest levels of certified protection.
Using cold liquid applied technology, there is no need for hot works during application eliminating any fire risks. And because it is installed by Triflex Authorised Contractors, you can be sure that you get the safest and most convenient solution.
