Desert Roofing was responsible for waterproofing all the concrete roofs, the sloped parapet and wet areas of the Sharjah City Centre, involving a total area of 8,000 sq m.
"The project ran smoothly, particularly because of the excellent co-operation we have enjoyed with the consultant, main contractor and all subcontractors associated with our work," says a spokesman for the Dubai-based company.
"The roof areas were very complex due to the large number of roof mountings, however, once again due to excellent organising and co-ordination from the main contractor, Al Habtoor - Murray Robert JV, our area of responsibility was executed on time and to the satisfaction of all concerned. We are very proud to be associated with the project and we would like to thank everyone at the site for the excellent cooperation extended to us," he says.
"Desert Roofing offers a total package of waterproofing systems from the substructure right up to the roof including wet and planter areas. We offer a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee for all waterproof applications subject to individual specifications, design and on-site applications," he says.
In addition to marketing a variety of bituminous, liquid and sheet waterproof membranes, Desert Roofing and its associate companies also manufacture polyurethane chemical systems, residential and commercial door systems and equipment and car-parking systems and offer multi-colour tri-dimensional decorative printing for the furniture and interior design industry.
"Our client base is extensive and includes government departments such as the Ministry of Public Works, UAE Armed Forces, municipalities, architects, consulting engineers and contractors. Desert Roofing provides total quality management and a full range of services, systems and solutions from sales, technical support through to application and most importantly, "after-sales services."
"We understand that the satisfaction of our customer is the only true measure of our success," the spokesman adds.
