Specification data - Single layer sheet warm roof covering systems

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.
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 guidance Consult 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 guidance 100% 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.
