Description

Bitumen inverted roof system, incorporating inverted insulation and torch-on bitumen capping sheet, with self-adhered bitumen underlayer. Bauderflex Roof System is suitable for a variety of applications on both new build and refurbishment projects and can be used in warm, cold and inverted roof scenarios. Includes the option of using a root resistant cap sheet, making this waterproofing system suitable for green roof situations.


Bauder Inverted Roof systems should be ballasted/ landscaped to prevent wind uplift and/ or floatation. Type, thickness, weight of landscaping should be agreed with manufacturer per bespoke project basis.


Meets BBA certification 10/4744. Bauderflex can meet current UK Building Regulations Part B for external fire protection and can feature torch-free and safe to torch installation on combustible details.


Features and benefits:

  • Capping sheets with tensile strength up to 800 N/50mm.
  • Withstands climatic extremes of over 100⁰C variation.
  • Patented self-adhesive DUO products. The "DUO" lap technology ensures thorough sealing of lap joints, even in lower temperatures.
  • Expandable graphite fire retardant reduces spread of flame.
  • Heavy duty, robust and extremely tough.
  • Service life in excess of 30 years as stated in BBA certificate 10/4744.
  • Resistant to European climatic conditions.
  • Membrane resists impact and tearing.
  • Can satisfy requirements of Part B of Building Regulations.


Torch-Free/ Safe to Torch Zone Detailing:

Bauder was the first manufacturer to pledge its support to the Safe2Torch initiative, introduced by the National Federation of Roof Contractors (NRFC) in July 2017. The torch-free detailing designs specifically deliver secure and safe installations in the vicinity of combustible construction materials located on, or connected to, the roof such as timber substrates or upstands; abutments to cladding, roof tiles, slates or thatch; or debris such as dry leaf material that is at risk from ignition.


Torch-free detailing can be integrated into all bituminous waterproofing solutions to give versatile, safe installation techniques for all roof types, site conditions and budgets.

The waterproofing flashing should be turned up by at least 150 mm around features such as rooflights, parapets and service pipes passing through the roof, detail work to upstands, edge details, flashings, etc. The membrane should not be taken up in one piece. Consult manufacturer for further information.


Features and benefits of Torch-Free/ Safe to Torch Zone Detailing:

  • Complete range of self-adhesive bitumen membranes.
  • Installation follows industry best practice and conforms to BS 8217: 2005.
  • 4.2 mm-thick elastomeric KSO SN and KSO P-SN cap sheets.
  • Hot air welding of membrane laps in the torch-free zone.
  • Can comply with Building Regulations Approved Document B – Fire Safety.
  • Manufactured to BS EN 13707: 2004 Reinforced Bitumen Membrane Sheets.
  • Reduces risk of fire caused by installation.
  • Practical solution so that installation programme times are achievable.
  • Robust waterproofing without compromising system longevity.

Attachment

Loose laid (and suitably ballasted).

Guidance for specification option:

  • Setting out: Loose lay insulation directly over the capping sheet to brick pattern with staggered joints. Minimize cutting and avoid small pieces at perimeters and penetrations. Dependent upon the total thickness required, it may be necessary to construct the insulation using two layers of board. The manufacturer/supplier can advise on the available combination options.
  • Joints: Butt together.
  • Loading over inverted insulation (minimum): Ballast (landscaping) should be installed onto the Bauder WFRL Membrane (Water Flow Reducing Layer) to a minimum depth required to achieve a permanent minimum 80 kg/m² and load which prevents wind uplift and flotation of the insulation in high winds and/or heavy rainfall.
  • Additional loading at perimeters: On high buildings in more exposed areas, wind uplift may be a problem and in these instances paving slab ballast must be considered. Paving slabs should be a minimum of 50 mm thick. The slabs should be laid on paving slab supports of minimum 175 mm diameter (or equivalent base area).
  • All final details must to be confirmed with Bauder before proceeding.

Ballast

Required.

Guidance for specification option:

Type, thickness, weight of landscaping should be agreed with manufacturer per bespoke project basis.
