Frequently Asked Questions
What construction systems does Forti Nova supply?
Forti Nova supplies complete building envelope systems covering foundations (ground screws, screw piles), structural framing (light gauge steel frame, LGSF), waterproofing (EPDM roofing, liquid rubber, spray applied polyurethane), and external finishes (composite cladding, decking, fencing). We are a direct importer with technical support and a training academy in Blackburn.
Are ground screws better than concrete foundations?
Ground screws offer several advantages over concrete: faster installation (no curing time), adjustable and removable, minimal ground disturbance, sustainable alternative to concrete, suitable for restricted access sites, and immediate load-bearing capacity. They are ideal for garden rooms, modular buildings, extensions and commercial structures.
What is the best waterproofing system for flat roofs?
The best system depends on the project: EPDM membranes for new builds and major refurbishments (35+ year lifespan), SprayGrade polyurethane for seamless spray-applied protection on complex roofs, and Liquid Rubber HBS200 for repairs, detailing and gutters. Forti Nova provides all three systems with technical specification support.
Do you provide technical support for specifiers?
Yes. Forti Nova offers comprehensive specification support including system compatibility checks, coverage calculations, project consultation, compatibility matrices, and manufacturer-backed technical guidance. Our team is based in Blackburn and supports projects UK-wide.
What is Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)?
Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) refers to offsite construction techniques including light gauge steel frame (LGSF), modular buildings, prefabricated components and precision-engineered systems. Forti Nova supports MMC with ground screw foundations, steel frame garden rooms, and complete building envelope systems.
Are you a direct importer or distributor?
Forti Nova is a UK direct importer of specialist construction systems. We import EPDM membranes, liquid waterproofing, spray applied polyurethane, composite cladding, steel frames and ground screws directly from manufacturers, providing competitive pricing and technical expertise.
Do you offer installation training?
Yes. Forti Nova runs a Training Academy in Blackburn offering certified courses for EPDM roofing, SprayGrade polyurethane application, and PriviFilm smart film installation. Graduates join our approved applicator network with access to manufacturer-backed warranties.
What sectors do you serve?
Forti Nova serves garden rooms, modular buildings, commercial buildings, industrial warehouses, education, healthcare, residential developments, and leisure buildings. Our systems are specified by contractors, developers, architects and local authorities across the UK.
Can you supply composite cladding for garden rooms?
Yes. Forti Nova supplies composite cladding systems specifically designed for garden rooms and modular buildings. Options include deep embossed cladding, Ronjack Shadow cladding, Oakio Iniwood cladding, and Proshield cladding in multiple colours and finishes.
What is spray applied waterproofing?
Spray applied waterproofing (such as SprayGrade polyurethane or Prokol TopSpray35) is a liquid membrane sprayed directly onto roof surfaces, creating a seamless, fully bonded waterproof layer. Ideal for commercial roof refurbishment, industrial roofing, and complex roof details where traditional membranes are challenging.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes. Forti Nova can arrange North West and UK-wide delivery. Timing is confirmed per order against current availability, package dimensions, unloading requirements and destination; call before travelling for collection.
What is the difference between EPDM and liquid rubber?
EPDM is a pre-formed rubber membrane installed in sheets (ideal for complete roof systems). Liquid Rubber HBS200 is a brush/roller-applied coating (ideal for repairs, gutters, flashings and detailing). Forti Nova supplies both systems for complementary applications within the same project.
