Specification data - Single layer sheet warm roof covering systems
Preparation | |
Horizontal work | SA-19 Primer.Guidance for specification option: The substrate will be securely fixed, clean, dry, smooth and free of contaminants such as greases, animal fats, coal tar and oil-based products. All sharp edges, nibs and rough surfaces which could damage the membrane will be removed or otherwise isolated. Should the V-Gard MAX air and vapour control layer be used, the substrate will be prepared with Elevate SA-19 Primer. |
Air and vapour control layer | |
Type | Elevate V-Gard MAX Self-Adhesive Air & Vapour Control layer.Guidance for specification option: Use where insulation layer is to be adhered to the AVCL. Self-adhesive to approved substrates (wood, steel). Elevate V-Gard ALU1500 Self-Adhesive Air & Vapour Control layer.Guidance for specification option: Use where insulation layer is to be mechanically attached through the AVCL. Self-adhesive to approved substrates (wood, steel). Elevate V-Gard PE 200 Air & Vapour Control layer.Guidance for specification option: Use where insulation layer is to be mechanically attached through the AVCL (Low Humidity Class Buildings Only). Loose laid over the approved substrate, joints are taped using V-Gard PE Seam Tape. Elevate V-Gard PE 200 E Air & Vapour Control layer.Guidance for specification option: Use where insulation layer is to be mechanically attached through the AVCL (Low Humidity Class Buildings Only). Loose laid over the approved substrate, joints are taped using V-Gard PE Seam Tape. Elevate V-Gard PE 400 Air & Vapour Control layer.Guidance for specification option: Use where insulation layer is to be mechanically attached through the AVCL (Low Humidity Class Buildings Only). Loose laid over the approved substrate, joints are taped using V-Gard PE Seam Tape. |

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 guidanceConsult 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. |
