Centrix overview

Our dual-fix system saves valuable time
One Centrix fastener does the job of two traditional ones. Our adhesive-coated metal plate fixes the insulation board to the building structure and – when heated with the Centrix induction tool – bonds to the overlying membrane. So installation is much faster, cheaper and cleaner.

Using wide membrane saves yet more time
Unlike standard seam-fix methods, Centrix doesn’t require narrow or half-width sheets of membrane around the roof perimeter. You can use the widest sheets available across the whole area, covering the roof more quickly.

Fast dry-in time keeps the whole project on schedule
Because Centrix speeds up membrane installation, the time between starting a job and making it waterproof is reduced dramatically. So when there’s contractual pressure to make a building watertight for other works such as electrics, this system helps keep the programme on track.

Our versatile tool is easier to use in all situations
We’ve designed our lightweight, multi-format bonding tool to be easy to use in all construction scenarios – in small spaces, around tight edges and on vertical surfaces – whether you’re kneeling or standing. So again, you’re saving time. Our tool also works with both foil-faced and non-foil-faced insulation boards, and with all membrane types: PVC, TPO, FPO, TPE, PP and EPDM.

 

 

 

Even fastener distribution balances wind load and prevents roof flutter
Where traditional methods force you to fix the membrane along the seams – causing the membrane to billow in high winds – Centrix lets you position the fasteners in an even pattern. This balances wind-load distribution, keeping any billowing to a minimum and preventing membrane flutter. Which reduces membrane fatigue and fastener loading, enhancing long-term performance.

Superior wind uplift resistance
Thanks to the even fastener pattern you can create with Centrix – and thanks to the sheer strength of our bond to the membrane – you can achieve outstanding wind uplift performance, with fewer fasteners than with seam fixing.

Fewer fasteners mean less thermal bridging and reduced risk of corrosion failure
Requiring a smaller number of fixings than traditional methods, the Centrix system causes less heat to be lost through the roof. And, as well as this thermal efficiency, fewer metal parts means less chance of corrosion problems.

Non-penetrating system prevents weaknesses and leaks, and improves appearance
With Centrix, no fixings pierce the membrane, so you avoid any related risks of weakening the material or creating leaks. Also, because our system uses wide membrane and hidden bonded fasteners, you remove the need for messy joins and overlaps in the membrane, giving a tidy, smooth-looking roof.

Safety and reliability are built in
Our induction bonding technology is proven to be safe and reliable. And, unlike some other membrane attachment methods, it doesn’t use adhesives – so there are no fumes or unpleasant odours, and none of the chemicals that can affect projects at sensitive sites such as schools and hospitals.

 

 

 

Quicker installation means cheaper installation
With fewer fasteners and wider membrane, the time you save with Centrix can reduce labour costs significantly.

Using less membrane saves cost and waste
By using a smaller number of wider membrane sheets, and by removing the need to cover seam fixings, you have fewer – and narrower – overlaps. This brings considerable savings in material, and minimises waste.

Fast dry-in time helps build business
Completing contracts early, allowing other essential works to start on high-pressure building programmes, can only enhance your reputation – and your chances of winning future contracts.

Quicker completion speeds up return on investment
Whatever you need to invest in tools and equipment, the speed of the Centrix system means you see a return sooner.
