Application

Proteus Pro-Felt® Endura-Flex system is ideal for use as a fully bonded roof waterproofing system on warm or cold 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-Flex is a roof system including self-adhesive and torch-on air and vapour control layers (AVCL) which can be safely and securely bonded to any roof deck. Thermal insulation is then bonded to the AVCL, followed by a polymer-modified self-adhesive or torch-on underlay and a torch-on cap sheet.

System components:

  • Proteus Pro-Prime® SA.
  • Proteus Pro-Prime® Bitumen.
  • Proteus Pro-Vapour/Carrier Membrane SA.
  • Proteus Pro-Therm insulation.
  • Proteus Pro-Felt® Endura-Flex TO Sanded Underlay.
  • Proteus Pro-Felt® Endura-Flex SA Sanded Underlay.
  • Proteus Pro-Felt® Endura-Flex SA Mineral Capsheet.
  • Proteus Pro-Felt® Endura-Flex TO Mineral Capsheet.
  • Proteus Pro-Felt® Endura-Flex Plus TO Mineral Capsheet.

Manufacturer guidance

The 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 guidance

Refer to manufacturers guidelines for mechanical fixing detail and vertical work higher than 300 mm, and insert requirements.
