ZORA Retail Chain Chose IKO Spectraplan TPE
The ZORA retail chain is one of the well-known and established names in Bulgarian commerce. A family company with a history dating back to 1991, ZORA has grown from a small family business into a national chain with dozens of stores, warehouse facilities, and a strong presence throughout the country. This is precisely why the company’s decision to trust the waterproofing systems of Armormat and IKO is so significant – it comes from a client with scale, experience, high requirements, and a long-term attitude toward the quality of its properties.
In June 2026, Armormat began deliveries for the ZORA store in Haskovo, with approximately 2000 sq.m of the planned waterproofing system already delivered. ZORA’s choice demonstrates a careful and technically responsible approach – in buildings with intensive retail use, the roof is not merely a structural element, but a key part of the reliability, energy efficiency, and long-term operation of the entire property.
For the waterproofing system, the IKO Spectraplan TPE membrane in sparkling white was selected – a high-tech solution from the most advanced generation of polymer roofing membranes. Spectraplan TPE combines the most valuable qualities of thermoplastics and elastomers: excellent flexibility, stability, high mechanical resistance, secure thermal welding, and long-lasting performance under severe weather conditions. Thanks to its TPE technology, the material has chemically embedded elasticity, unmatched resistance to ageing, ozone, ultraviolet rays, and constant climatic loads.
What is particularly impressive about Spectraplan TPE is the quality of the seams. The membrane is welded with hot air without the need for aggressive cleaning agents and without being affected by moisture and water during installation, while the wide welding temperature range provides incomparable installation security. The resulting homogeneous seam is extremely reliable and creates a system with a remarkable degree of safety. This makes Spectraplan TPE a solution of the highest professional class for projects where the goal is not simply roof waterproofing, but a long-term, technologically advanced, and secure roofing system.
The sparkling white color of the membrane not only further emphasizes the modern character of the system, but also provides exceptionally high solar reflectivity of the roof, prevents heat accumulation, and ensures many times better building performance during the hot months. Combined with the fact that Spectraplan TPE contains no plasticizers, halogens, or heavy metals, is recyclable, and is completely neutral and compatible with an unprecedented number of construction materials in the industry, this makes the system one of the cleanest, most modern, and most potent solutions in the flat roofing industry.
ZORA’s choice of IKO Spectraplan TPE is yet another proof and recognition of the quality of this technology of ours, as well as of the professional approach of the client itself and the engaged professional applicator of the system. The trust of yet another company with significant scale and reputation in the systems of Armormat and IKO is a clear sign of technical awareness and a commitment to uncompromising execution. This once again shows that serious customers and true roofing experts recognize serious systems.
