Approved for use on
Balconies, Terraces & Walkways Blue Roofs Flat Roofs Green Roofs Inverted Roofs Pitched Roofs Zero Falls Buried Roofs
The system is intended for use as a liquid-applied roof waterproofing system on new or existing roofs with limited or pedestrian access in the following specifications(1):
- exposed warm and cold flat and pitched roofs up to 70°
- protected warm and cold flat and zero fall roofs (ie covered by pavers or other suitable protection)
- green (extensive) flat, zero fall and pitched roofs up to 70°
inverted flat and zero fall roofs - blue roofs
- terraces and balconies with anti-slip layer
- walkways across roof areas with anti-slip layer.
Substrate
Concrete Insulation Boards Mastic Asphalt Metal Plastic Reinforced Bituminous Membranes Single Ply Membranes - EPDM Single Ply Membranes - PVC Single Ply Membranes - TPO Timber
The system is suitable for use on the following substrates(1):
- concrete
- asphalt
- plywood
- OSB 3
- reinforced bitumen membranes (including sanded and mineral surfaced felts)
- insulation
- GRP
- single-ply membranes
- previously coated surfaces
- small areas of metal incidental to the roof, eg pipe upstands
- small areas of plastic-coated metal incidental to the roof.
Durability
30 Years
Under normal service conditions, the system will have a life in excess of 30 Years, provided it is designed, installed
When fully protected, under normal service conditions, the system will have a life at least equivalent to the roof
in which it is incorporated, provided it is designed, installed and maintained in accordance with this Certificate and the
In situations where maintenance or repair of any of the components in the roof structure are necessary (eg a
protection layer or insulation), the durability of the membrane may be reduced. In these circumstances the Certificate
holder must be consulted, but such advice is outside the scope of this Certificate.
An estimation cannot be given for the life of green roof specifications owing to the nature of use; however, under
normal circumstances, it should be significantly greater than for exposed waterproof coverings.
Installation Requirements
Installation of the system must be carried out only by specialist roofing contractors trained and approved by the Certificate holder.
Fire Safety
When tested to DD CEN/TS 1187 : 2012, Test 4, the following flat roof systems achieved a classification under BS EN 13501-5 : 2016 of BROOF(t4):
- a 6 mm calcium silicate board, one coat of Pro-Prime BW S at 0.25 litres per m2 , one coat of Pro-BW Plus resin at 1.25 litres per m2, a layer of Pro-Force 450 reinforcement and one coat of Pro-BW Plus resin at 0.50 litres per m2.
