Proteus Pro-Felt® Endura AIRdhesive System - Roof Waterproofing
Verified by manufacturer 1 month ago
A bituminous roof waterproofing system.
Application
Proteus Pro-Felt® Endura AIRdhesive is satisfactory for use as a fully bonded roof waterproofing and AVCL in a warm roof waterproofing system on flat and pitched roofs with limited access. Where traffic over this is envisaged, such as pedestrian access roofs, additional protection must be provided.
Description
Proteus Pro-Felt® Endura AIRdhesive is a roof waterproofing system using a self-adhesive air and vapour control layer (AVCL) which can be safely and securely bonded to any roof deck without the use of a torch. Thermal insulation is then bonded to the AVCL, followed by a polymer-modified, self-adhesive underlay and a cap sheet.
AIRdhesive membrane is a single layer flame free reinforced bitumen membrane that can either be mechanically fixed, or adhered in adhesive.
System components:
- Proteus Pro-Felt Endura SA AVCL Sanded or Proteus Pro-Felt Endura AVCL Sanded.
- Proteus Pro-Prime SA or Proteus Pro-Prime Bitumen.
- Proteus Pro-Therm insulation.
- Proteus Pro-Felt Endura SA Underlay Sanded.
- Proteus Pro-Felt Endura SA Mineral.
- AIRdhesive Membrane.
Features and benefits:
- BROOF(t4) can be achieved for certain roof buildups for slopes below 10° - see BBA certificate for details.
- Under normal service conditions, the system will provide a durable waterproof covering with a service life of at least 35 years.

Manufacturer guidanceThe membranes and AVCLs can accept, without damage, the foot traffic and light concentrated loads associated with installation and maintenance. Where traffic over this is envisaged, such as for maintenance of lift equipment, a walkway must be provided (for example, using concrete slabs supported on bearing pads, or an additional sacrificial layer of capsheet). Reasonable care should be taken to avoid puncture by sharp objects or concentrated loads. |
Ancillary items | Manufacturer guidanceRefer to manufacturers guidelines for mechanical fixing detail and vertical work higher than 300 mm, and insert requirements. |
Surface protection | Manufacturer guidanceThe membranes and AVCLs can accept, without damage, the foot traffic and light concentrated loads associated with installation and maintenance. Where traffic over this is envisaged, such as for maintenance of lift equipment, a walkway must be provided (for example, using concrete slabs supported on bearing pads). Reasonable care should be taken to avoid puncture by sharp objects or concentrated loads. |
System accessories | Not required.Membrane walkways.Roof membrane perimeter trims.Termination bars.Angle fillets.Outlets.Rooflights.Manufacturer guidanceConsult manufacturer for further details. |
Execution | Manufacturer guidanceConsult manufacturer for execution requirements. |
System completion | Manufacturer guidanceThe NHBC requires that the waterproofing membranes, once installed, are inspected in accordance with NHBC Standards 2022, Chapter 7.1, Clause 7.1.12, and undergo an appropriate integrity test, where required. Any damage to the membrane is repaired in accordance with section 16 of BBA certificate 22/6033 and reinspected. |
