Challenge
Located in downtown Vancouver, Jubilee House is an 87-unit social housing apartment building serving under-resourced tenants. At 25 years old, the facility required a full reroof — but any disruption to daily life needed to be kept to a minimum. In addition, the project team wanted a solution that could support Vancouver’s environmental goals, particularly around helping to reduce air pollution in urban areas.
Solution
Siplast provided a high-performance roofing system that also aligned with helping to meet the city's sustainability goals:
- Two-ply protection with environmental impact
A Siplast SBS-modified bitumen system featuring a Paradiene® 20 base ply and Parafor® 30 finish ply was selected for its long-term performance and exceptional durability. - Supporting cleaner urban air
The cap sheet was surfaced with Eco-Activ® Noxite® granules, designed to help neutralize harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the air. The Noxite-surfaced membrane helps contribute to local air quality improvement by breaking down pollutants. - Minimized disruption for residents
The use of torch-grade materials avoided hot asphalt fumes, helping to reducing disruption to tenants during installation.
The Jubilee House reroof delivered lasting performance while also supporting Vancouver's broader environmental initiatives.
