Architects and specifiers in the Manchester area were recently treated to live demonstrations of flame-free roofing systems at Manchester United's legendary Old Trafford stadium.

The event, organised and hosted by Marley Waterproofing, included presentations, demonstrations and discussions and qualified as a CPD event (Marley Waterproofing is a member of the RIBA CPD Network Providers Scheme). A specially designed rig was moved in so that delegates could see the LCMS20 and Mach One flame-free systems being installed. Both systems can be installed without hot works, thereby reducing the risk of fire and lowering insurance premiums for contractors.

Describing the event, Beth Barber, Marketing Manager at Marley Waterproofing, said; "CPD events are key to ensuring that specifiers and contractors stay current with developments in construction, however most take the form of lectures. People are very busy these days, so we wanted to ensure that our flame-free event was to the point and interesting and that everyone who attended had a full understanding of flame-free roofing systems by the time they left. We are delighted with the results and feedback from delegates has been excellent with several approving of the interactive nature of the presentations."

Delegates at the event were also treated to a free draw with the chance to win vouchers to spend in the Manchester United shop
