Warehousing & Logistics
Distribution centres, logistics hubs, fulfilment warehouses and multi-bay storage facilities have roofing requirements that demand a very specific approach: large-format application, fast programme delivery, zero tolerance for internal water ingress onto stock, and minimal interference with operations running at all hours. SprayGrade cold-applied liquid rubber is the specialist solution for this environment.
Sector Pressures & Constraints
Logistics and warehousing operations rarely stop. Distribution centres run on 24-hour shifts; fulfilment centres cannot tolerate stock damage from roof leaks; cold-store facilities have temperature and humidity constraints that affect both the building and any internal works. A water ingress event in a logistics warehouse can trigger stock loss claims, operational disruption and tenant disputes that cost multiples of the refurbishment budget. The case for pre-emptive intervention — rather than waiting for failure — is commercially clear in this sector.
Refurbishment Context
The modern distribution centre — built from the 1990s to the 2010s on steel portal frame with box profile metal cladding — is now entering the refurbishment window for its roofing. Lap joints, fastener positions and eaves details are the primary failure points. Spray-applied elastomeric systems seal all of these in a single operation without requiring access to individual fasteners or laps. For older industrial and warehouse stock with corrugated metal or concrete panel roofing, the same high-output approach applies with appropriate substrate preparation.
How Forti Nova Works with Warehousing & Logistics
Forti Nova is a primary supplier for warehouse and distribution centre roof refurbishment. We provide SprayGrade cold-spray waterproofing and TopSpray35 aliphatic protective topcoat — both suited to large-format logistics building roofs. Our trained approved applicators are experienced in high-output delivery on logistics sites, including access management, working-at-height controls and live-site programming. We provide the full specification, supply and applicator coordination from initial assessment through to warranty.
