Fire Safety
A system installed on a flat roof, comprising a 12 mm thick gypsum glassrock roof board, primed with Pararapide Masonry Primer and coated with Pararapide WP (grey) reinforced with Pararapide Fleece, will be unrestricted by the national Building Regulations.
In the opinion of the BBA, a roof garden incorporating the system, covered with a drainage layer of gravel 100 mm thick and a soil layer of minimum 300 mm thick, will be designated BROOF(t4).
In the opinion of the BBA, when the system is used in irrigated roof gardens, its use will be unrestricted under the requirements of the national Building Regulations.
If allowed to dry, plants used in a roof garden may allow flame spread across the roof. This should be taken into consideration when selecting suitable plants.
The designation of other specifications should be confirmed by: England and Wales — test or assessment in accordance with Approved Document B, Appendix A, clause A1. Scotland — test to conform to Mandatory Standard 2.8, clause 2.8.1(1)(2) (1) Technical Handbook (Domestic). (2) Technical Handbook (Non-Domestic). Northern Ireland — test or assessment by a UKAS-accredited laboratory, or an independent consultant with appropriate experience.
