The world famous March Stand at Goodwood Racecourse has been overhauled with Decothane Delta 25 - a hardwearing liquid roof coating from leading high performance weatherproofing supplier Liquid Plastics.

The March stand, originally opened by the Queen in 1980, has a striking barrel shaped roof made from pre-cast concrete, which is supported by a reinforced concrete frame and stainless steel tensioning cables. It had however begun to suffer from water ingress and was in need of a solution that was durable, cost effective, quick to apply and, critically, flame-free.

Kevin Sloane, Repairs and Maintenance Manager at The Goodwood Estate Company Ltd, reviewed the waterproofing options together with the contractor, Jones Brothers Flat Roofing Ltd. "Having discounted several options, including felt and other liquid roofing products, we chose Decothane Delta 25 from Liquid Plastics," commented Kevin. "We have both worked extensively with the product in the past and felt it was the best solution for the roof, which stands 18 metres above ground, is in a very exposed location on top of a hill and has several areas of complex detailing."

Decothane Delta 25 is highly elastomeric which enables it to cope with thermal and substrate movement. Boasting a strong track record, it is also guaranteed to last for at least 25 years before first maintenance is required, even in the most challenging conditions.
