Professional history should be documented—not rewritten.
These products formed part of genuine technical sales, system selection and installer-training experience. Recording that knowledge is not a statement about current availability or a present commercial relationship. It is an honest account of the systems previously handled and the principles learned from them.
More than one million square metres across the Irish market.
This is a rounded historical estimate of the combined TECHNONICOL roofing-material volume supplied across Ireland. It demonstrates the scale of the earlier range without presenting the total as Sergej’s personally installed area.
Five families mapped by their historic system position.
Each range included distinct lower-layer and exposed-layer responsibilities. Product names alone never replaced assessment of the substrate, reinforcement, finish, application method and complete roof build-up.
ECOFLEX
A two-layer underlay and mineral cap-sheet route handled as an accessible starting point within the historic Ireland range. Its local commercial position should not be confused with the manufacturer’s separate corporate class labels.
BIPOL / BIPOL XL
Lower-layer and exposed cap-sheet configurations for new work and refurbishment, including the stronger XL product options that sat within the extended BIPOL offer.
BICROELAST
A coordinated membrane family with a film-faced lower layer and mineral-finished upper layer. The two products performed different jobs and were specified as a build-up rather than interchangeable rolls.
UNIFLEX
A higher-performance bitumen-polymer family used for roof waterproofing and engineering structures, with dedicated lower-layer and UV-protected cap-sheet variants.
TECHNOELAST
The upper end of the historic system ladder: reinforced lower-layer and exposed cap-sheet membranes selected where the project required the most demanding route within the range.
Ecoflex was handled as an accessible commercial route within the historic local offer. The manufacturer’s archived catalogue used its own Standard, Business and Premium class structure, so local sales positioning and corporate classification are intentionally not treated as the same thing.
A cap sheet was never the complete roof.
The named membrane family still had to be coordinated with the substrate, attachment, insulation, vapour strategy, primer and detail treatment.
Bitumen blocks and YAM 2000 preserved an older installation route.
This was a pour-and-roll build-up rather than a conventional torch-on product selection. The heated bitumen formed the bonding layer while YAM 2000 provided the reinforced underlay within the built-up system.
2000SANDED BOTH SIDES · BUILT-UP SYSTEM ROLE
Prepare the substrate
The deck condition, dryness and priming determined whether the hot bonding route could perform correctly.
Heat the bitumen
Solid bitumen blocks were heated and controlled as the hot-applied bonding medium—not treated as a cold repair coating.
Roll the underlay
YAM 2000 was embedded as a reinforced lower layer and was not an exposed mineral cap sheet.
SHINGLAS belonged to a complete covering system.
The bituminous shingle was the visible weathering layer. Deck condition, pitch, underlay coverage, eaves, valleys, ventilation, fixing and mastic details still controlled the roof beneath it.
SHINGLAS
Bituminous shingles selected around roof geometry, exposure, colour, profile and the applicable installation route.
Underlay + details
Continuous or critical-zone underlay, correct fixing, eaves, valleys, penetrations and ventilation formed the rest of the pitched-roof system.
Primers and mastics had defined jobs.
They supported adhesion, preparation, repair and detailing, but they were not universal substitutes for one another or for the primary waterproofing layer.
Bituminous primers
Used to condition compatible porous or dusty substrates and support membrane adhesion before torch-on or bonded work.
Repair mastics
Used for selected local repairs, sealing and detail work where the substrate, movement and exposure suited the specific composition.
Hot mastics
Heated application products forming part of traditional built-up waterproofing—not ready-to-use cold compounds.
Historic knowledge is not a current specification.
The systems shown document earlier product, technical-sales and installer-training experience. This page does not represent current supply, endorsement, availability, certification or an active commercial relationship.
No historic product code, fire classification, durability statement or installation route should be transferred to a new project without independent verification of current controlled documents, legal requirements and the exact proposed build-up.
This independent archive records the product families and system methods genuinely handled within earlier professional practice. It is not a manufacturer catalogue, political statement, sales offer, installation manual or warranty document. Project, client and contractor names are intentionally not published.
