Insulation

-

Type

Hytherm ECO XPS and water flow reducing layer.

Guidance for specification option:

Axter Hytherm ECO XPS is a lightweight, durable, rigid extruded polystyrene XPS insulation board, designed specifically for inverted roof applications and used in conjunction with the Axter water flow reducing layer. It is available in a range of thicknesses to meet the performance requirements of specific applications


Axter Water Flow Reducing Layers are supplied as part of our inverted roof insulation systems to improve thermal performance and to help minimise water flow below the insulation heat loss caused by rainwater cooling.

Hytherm EPS and water flow reducing layer.

Guidance for specification option:

Hytherm EPS ADH is a durable, lightweight, rigid expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation available in both uniform and tapered boards for use in warm flat roofs with limited access and balconies and terraces with regular pedestrian traffic. Axter Hytherm EPS ADH (300) is a tapered expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation board used to create required falls under compatible bituminous or single ply membranes in warm roof applications.

Hytherm HP EPS and water flow reducing layer.

Guidance for specification option:

High performance expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation for inverted roofs, balconies and terraced roofs with pedestrian access. Suitable for zero fall designs in both uniform and tapered board schemes. Hytherm HP EPS is used with the Axter water flow reducing layer and gravel ballast or paving protection.

Hytherm Ultra XPS and water flow reducing layer.

Ballast

Riverstone pebbles/ ballast.

Guidance for specification option:

20-40 mm natural stone pebbles for borders and ballast, suitable for use with all types of Axter waterproofing systems where system ballast is required. Also used to create perimeter sterile borders on Axter living roof installations.

System accessories

Lightning conductor clips.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Axter lightning conductor clips provide resilience and repellent characteristics, keeping them from fading and going brittle in sunlight.
  • Simple to install and are supplied as a one-piece unit.
  • Colour is dark grey.

Rooflights/ access hatches.

Guidance for specification option:

Consult manufacturer for details.

Solar PV Flex.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Flexible thin-film photovoltaic system combining CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) panels bonded to Axter waterproofing membrane Axter SOLAR PVFLEX flexible.
  • Thin-film photovoltaic system is a lightweight integrated solution, where the solar PV module and the waterproofing are combined, and the PV module is secured to the roof system without the need for mechanical restraint and penetration of the waterproofing layer.

Execution

Guidance for specification option:

Force Dalle is installed in a simple process, combining rapid drying synthetic primer with single or multi-layer Force Dalle fully bonded elastomeric membranes and bitumen compounds. Installation of Force Dalle waterproofing systems is carried out by accredited Axtershield Installers whose operatives have successfully attended Axter’s RBM upskilling course. Force Dalle systems can be installed on all deck types, can be fully or partially bonded in a completely flame free, hot air welded or torch applied application on flat roofs, terraces, balconies and podium decks. All system components are specified and installed to ensure compatibility and single source responsibility, and detailing is completed in full compliance with Axter recommendations and the NFRC Safe2Torch guidance.

System completion

Interim and final roof inspections by AXTER Quality Assurance (QA) personnel. Final roof inspections by AXTER Quality Assurance (QA) personnel are mandatory for guarantee application.

Certification
