INTRODUCING THE IKO LI RANGE: SUSTAINABLE WATERPROOFING, ROOFING AND SCREEDING SOLUTIONS
THE SIMPLE, SEAMLESS AND SUSTAINABLE RANGE OF MEMBRANES AND SCREEDS WITH REDUCED EMBODIED CARBON.
Reduced embodied carbon in the construction industry has the potential to significantly contribute towards the UK’s carbon reduction goals, but how can the sector turn these targets into reality?
The innovative IKO LI range combines exceptional performance with outstanding environmental credentials. From hot melt waterproofing and mastic asphalt roofing to screeding solutions, each product in the IKO LI family is designed to deliver reduced embodied carbon footprints for environmentally conscious projects.
With products suitable for most roofing, waterproofing and screeding applications, this robust, resilient and responsibly manufactured range is ideal for those wanting to enhance their sustainability efforts.
The IKO LI range marks a major step forward in sustainable construction materials, offering substantial reductions in embodied carbon.
IKO Permascreed LI lowers embodied carbon by up to 46%, while IKO Permatec LI reduces embodied carbon by over 50% – both compared to our original IKO Permascreed and IKO Permatec products.
Each solution is independently certified and packaged, if supplied in blocks, in the UK’s first zero-waste wrapper.
Simply put, choosing IKO LI products supports a lower-carbon construction industry while helping to achieve the highest BREEAM ratings.
