The Handbook provides information about waterproofing options and also includes helpful step-by-step instructions for installation as well as supporting information on Ruberoid’s technical capabilities and services.

Jane Campion, Marketing Manager at Ruberoid comments: "The Waterproofer's Handbook is the definitive guide for contractors and specifiers. We have drawn on our technical and service expertise together with customer feedback, and have completely revised the previous handbook to reflect the new products, system requirements and latest techniques to assist contractors in installation of products.

"The original Waterproofer's Handbook or "Black book" as it was fondly known rapidly became an essential publication for anyone involved in roofing or structural waterproofing. We are confident this new, updated guide will be equally well received and will be invaluable out in the field."
