Preparation

-

Horizontal work

SA-19 Primer.

Guidance for specification option:

Elevate SA-19 Primer is used to prime and prepare exterior concrete, wood, and metal surfaces to enhance the adhesion of Elevate V-Gard vapour control membrane. It's also used to prime seams when required.

Skirtings and vertical work

SA-19 Primer.

Guidance for specification option:

Elevate SA-19 Primer is used to prime and prepare exterior concrete, wood, and metal surfaces to enhance the adhesion of Elevate V-Gard vapour control membrane. It's also used to prime seams when required.

Air and vapour control layer

-

Type

V-Gard Vapor Control layer.

Guidance for specification option:

Elevate V-Gard Vapor Control Membrane is designed to be used as a vapor control layer in Elevate roofing systems. It consists of a reinforced aluminium foil with self-adhesive bituminous backing protected by a release film. The fiberglass reinforcement makes it suitable for applications that involve high mechanical stresses. The Elevate V-Gard membrane can be installed on concrete, wood and steel deck.

Attachment

Self-adhesive bituminous backing.

Insulation

Type

ISOGARD AK PIR Insulation.

Guidance for specification option:

Thermal conductivity: 0.023 W/m.K.

Thickness: 30–160 mm. Insert requirements.


Elevate ISOGARD AK insulation board consists of a closed-cell polyiso (PIR) foam core laminated on both sides to a gastight multi-layered aluminium complex.

ISOGARD MG PIR Insulation.

Guidance for specification option:

Thermal conductivity: 0.025–0.028 W/m.K.

Thickness: 30–160 mm. Insert requirements.


Elevate ISOGARD MG insulation board consists of a closed-cell polyiso (PIR) foam core laminated on both sides to a gasopen mineral glassfibre facer.

RESISTA AK PIR Insulation.

Guidance for specification option:

Thermal conductivity: 0.023 W/m.K.

Thickness: 30–160 mm. Insert requirements.


RESISTA AK PIR insulation board consists of a closed-cell polyiso (PIR) foam core laminated on both sides to a gastight multi-layered aluminium complex.

RESISTA MG PIR Insulation.

Guidance for specification option:

Thermal conductivity: 0.025–0.028 W/m.K.

Thickness: 30–160 mm. Insert requirements.


RESISTA MG PIR insulation board consists of a closed-cell polyiso (PIR) foam core laminated on both sides to a gasopen mineral glassfibre facer.

ISOGARD HD cover board.

Guidance for specification option:

An optional, lightweight, high-density polyiso (PIR) foam cover board of 12.7 mm thickness, with coated fiberglass facers to both sides, which is used to protect the insulation layer beneath and may also be used as a recovery board. It provides an optimum surface for fully adhered Elevate roofing membranes.

Manufacturer guidance

Consult the manufacturer's Technical Services Department for R-Value/U-value calculations as required.

Attachment

I.S.O. Twin Pack Insulation Adhesive.

Guidance for specification option:

Elevate I.S.O. Twin Pack Insulation Adhesive is a two-component low-rise polyurethane adhesive designed for anchoring acceptable roof insulation and cover boards to an acceptable substrate, as well as for adhering multiple layers of insulation. It is a solvent-free insulation adhesive that contains no harmful HCFC or CFC.
