Installation

Manufacturer's standard.

Guidance for specification option:

Install ProTherm RockFace A2 upstand board after completion of the PermaQuik PQ6100 or EshaFlex inverted roofing system.


ProTherm RockFace A2 upstand board is bonded to the waterproofing using an Insta-Stik bead it is also trapped at the base by the horizontal ProTherm insulation board. As long as the ProTherm RockFace A2 upstand boards are well protected no additional attachment method is required unless the ProTherm RockFace A2 upstand board is more than 3 times the height of the horizontal ProTherm insulation board.


Where the ProTherm RockFace A2 is more than 3 times the height of the horizontal ProTherm insulation board, and less than 750 mm in height, the ProTherm RockFace A2 upstand board must be trapped at the base by the horizontal ProTherm insulation board and have continuous retention across the top face of the board.


Where the ProTherm RockFace A2 Board exceeds 750 mm above the roof finishes and is trapped at the base by the horizontal ProTherm insulation board the ProTherm RockFace A2 Board must be either:

  • Bonded with INSTA-STIK Roofing Adhesive applied in 19-25 mm beads at 300 mm centres for the full height of the ProTherm RockFace A2 Board AND have a single DDS fixings (or equal approved) installed through the centre of the ProTherm RockFace A2 Board a minimum of 75 mm from the top of the ProTherm RockFace A2 Board.
  • Mechanically fixed directly to the upstand wall at 600 mm centres using Speedline DDS fixings (or equal approved).

Where it is necessary to cut ProTherm RockFace A2 upstand board to size use a TCT saw (suitable PPE must be used including a face mask to guard against dust).
