Elevate's RubberGard EPDM was selected to waterproof the largest Cross-Laminated Timber passive office building in Eastern Europe. The Smartware CLT Office Building was commissioned by Gabriel Ciordaș, CEO and founder of the Romanian IT company Smartware, and was designed to accommodate 250 employees in Saldabagiu de Munte, near Oradea.
The architectural concept was created by the Romanian agency Vertical Studio, in collaboration with Inginerie Creativă, an engineering firm specializing in wooden passive buildings. The prefabricated CLT structure was assembled sustainably in less than 50 days. The project was designed to promote communication and interaction among employees while being energy-efficient and providing a high level of comfort. To achieve these goals, the design adhered to passive housing principles, reducing energy consumption without sacrificing comfort, and ensuring that the interior temperature remains comfortable year-round.

On the flat roof of the new office, a vapor barrier with an Sd value of over 1,500 m was installed over the CLT roof deck panels, followed by 200 mm of rigid insulation boards. Elevate's RubberGard EPDM roofing membrane, with a thickness of 1.5 mm, was chosen for its durability and flame-free installation. A green roof system was added on top, completing the roofing solution.
