Preparation | - |
Horizontal work | SA-19 Primer.Firestone SA-19 Primer is used to prime and prepare exterior concrete, wood, and metal surfaces to enhance the adhesion of Firestone V-Gard vapour control membrane. It's also used to prime seams when required. |
Skirtings and vertical work | SA-19 Primer.Firestone SA-19 Primer is used to prime and prepare exterior concrete, wood, and metal surfaces to enhance the adhesion of Firestone 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.Firestone V-Gard Vapor Control Membrane is designed to be used as a vapor control layer in Firestone 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 Firestone V-Gard membrane can be installed on concrete, wood and steel deck. |
Attachment | Self-adhesive bituminous backing. |

TypeConsult the manufacturer's Technical Services Department for R-Value/U-value calculations as required. | ISOGARD AK PIR Insulation.Thermal conductivity: 0.023 W/m.K. Thickness: 30–160 mm. Insert requirements. Firestone 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.Thermal conductivity: 0.025–0.028 W/m.K. Thickness: 30–160 mm. Insert requirements. Firestone 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.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.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.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 Firestone roofing membranes. |
Attachment | I.S.O. Twin Pack Insulation Adhesive.Firestone 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. |
