Manchester Airport

Description:

Manchester Airport is one of the UK’s busiest and most strategically important international gateways, serving millions of passengers annually and undergoing continuous upgrades to support future growth. As part of an extensive renovation programme, several areas of the terminal roofing required refurbishment, particularly around skylights and rooftop units. These zones are highly exposed and prone to water ingress, thermal movement and accelerated wear, making reliable long-term sealing essential for maintaining both safety and operational continuity within the terminal.

Applied Effisus Solutions

Effisus Bond FT was selected for the refurbishment of critical roof areas, including skylight perimeters and rooftop unit interfaces. Its self-adhered, high-performance sealing technology provided an immediate and durable bond to a wide range of materials typically found in airport roofing systems. The solution ensured watertight protection, accommodated structural movement and offered strong resistance to UV exposure and temperature fluctuations common in the region.

Our Added Value

The renovation of Manchester Airport required a sealing system capable of performing under constant operational pressure and in demanding weather conditions. Effisus Bond FT delivered a seamless, long-lasting waterproofing layer that significantly reduced the risk of leaks around complex roof penetrations, helping safeguard sensitive equipment and the internal environment below. Its quick and secure installation minimised disruptions in an active airport setting, while its durability reduced future maintenance needs. By integrating efficiently into the existing roofing system, Effisus Bond FT contributed to a more resilient, energy-efficient and reliable terminal infrastructure.
