A torch-on and torch-safe reinforced bituminous membrane waterproofing system.
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.
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.

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. |
