Specification data - Single layer sheet warm roof covering systems
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 vapour control layer in Elevate roofing systems. It consists of a reinforced aluminium foil with self-adhesive bituminous backing protected by a release film. The fibreglass 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: As per Fully Adhered Warm Roof System spec. Thermal conductivity: 0.023 W/m.K. Thickness: 30–160 mm. Insert requirements. Elevate RESISTA AK 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: As per Fully Adhered Warm Roof System spec. Thermal conductivity: 0.025–0.028 W/m.K. Thickness: 30–160 mm. Insert requirements. Elevate RESISTA MG insulation board consists of a closed-cell polyiso (PIR) foam core laminated on both sides to a gasopen mineral glassfibre facer. Manufacturer guidanceConsult the manufacturer's Technical Services Department for R-Value/U-value calculations as required. |
Attachment | Insulation plates and fasteners.Guidance for specification option: The fastening pattern is chosen in line with the manufacturer's installation guidelines and to accommodate for wind loading. |
Waterproof covering | |
Type | RubberGard™ EPDM LSFR Roofing Membrane 1.1 mm.RubberGard™ EPDM LSFR Roofing Membrane 1.5 mm.Manufacturer guidance100% cured non-reinforced, Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Terpolymer (EPDM) synthetic rubber, manufactured in an ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 registered facility. Minimum unspliced width of 3.05 m. Specification compliance: UL Classified/ FM Approved. ASTM D 4637/ EN 13956 (CE Mark). 7500 hrs of Artificial Ageing as per EN 1297. |
Attachment | QuickSeam RMA strip.Guidance for specification option: Secured to the steel deck using approved plates/batten bars and fasteners. Spacing of the plates and/or fasteners differs to accommodate for wind loadings and are positioned according to the parameters of the wind load calculation based on local or international standards. |
Joints | Lap splices: 100 mm minimum overlap with 76 mm QuickSeam Splice Tape. |
Surface protection | QuickSeam Walkway Pads.Guidance for specification option: 760 x 760 mm high quality rubber pads with QuickSeam Tape factory laminated to the bottom. They are used for protection of the Elevate RubberGard EPDM membrane in areas of regular roof traffic (periodical maintenance around mechanical equipment, access doors, etc.). |
