Application

Suitable for profiled metal deck applications and other deck types which provide sufficient anchorage for mechanical attachment.

Description

The RubberGard™ EPDM RMA System is a lightweight, non-penetrating mechanically attached system developed around the QuickSeam™ RMA strip: a strip of reinforced EPDM membrane incorporating two strips of self-adhesive QuickSeam™ Splice Tape laminated along each edge over the length of the strip.


Features and benefits:

  • Non-penetrating.
  • Use of large EPDM sheets.
  • Fewer seams.
  • Fast coverage.
  • Lightweight system.
  • Aesthetics.
  • High wind uplift performance.
  • Safe, flame-free installation.


System components:

  • RubberGard™ EPDM LSFR.
  • QuickSeam™ RMA strip.
  • ISOGARD™ AK PIR Insulation.
  • ISOGARD™ MG PIR Insulation.
  • RESISTA™ AK PIR Insulation.
  • RESISTA™ MG PIR Insulation.
  • Air and vapour control layer.
  • Bonding Adhesive BA-2012 (for vertical membrane application).

Preparation

-

Horizontal work

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.

Air and vapour control layer

-

Type

Elevate V-Gard ALU 1500 self-adhesive air and vapour control layer.

Elevate V-Gard PE 200 air and vapour control layer.

Elevate V-Gard PE 200 E air and vapour control layer.

Elevate V-Gard PE 400 air and vapour control layer.

Manufacturer guidance

V-Gard ALU 1500

Use where insulation layer is to be mechanically attached through the AVCL. Self-adhesive to approved substrates (wood, steel).

V-Gard PE 200, V-Gard PE 200 E, V-Gard PE 400

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.

Attachment

As type.
