BBA Agrément Certificate
Certificate type
Self-adhesive PVC-P single-ply system using a membrane with foam backing, for inverted ballasted applications.
Self-adhesive PVC-P single-ply system and a foam backing coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, for inverted ballasted and green roof systems.
System includes:
- Filter layer:
A 140 g/m² polypropylene based fleece, grey in colour, suitable for use as an inverted roof filter layer in loose laid ballasted systems. Sarnafil Type VS is UV stabilised and can be left exposed to weather.
- Insulation:
Unfaced extruded polystyrene CFC and HCFC free thermoset cellular plastic insulant, with a rigid closed cell structure. SarnaTherm XPS is manufactured to BS EN 13164 'Thermal Insulation products for buildings - factory made extruded polystyrene foam (XPS)'.
- Waterproof membrane:
Sarnafil G membranes are manufactured using a state of the art extrusion coating process that eliminates shrinkage and plastic memory and produces a dynamically stable membrane.
Performance:
Certified by BBA, in their opinion, to have a "life expectancy in excess of 40 years" for exposed applications, with periodic maintenance as stated below.
"A planned maintenance cycle, including inspections by the Certificate holder at minimum intervals of five years, should be introduced if an extended service life is required. The Certificate holder can advise on methods of extending the service life. This could include the use of thicker membranes, specific maintenance requirements or localised replacement and repair."
Should the maintenance cycle not be followed Sarnafil G/S membranes have been given, by the BBA in their opinion, a life expectancy of "in excess of 35 years".
Installation:
- Filter layer:
Sarnafil Type VS is loose laid, with 300 mm side and end laps.
- Insulation:
The insulation is to be laid loose, with boards lightly butt jointed and level. The specified ballast should be installed as soon as possible, once the filter layer is laid. Until the ballast is laid, the loose laid insulation will be vulnerable to wind uplift forces. If it is necessary to delay ballasting the roof, then temporary ballast, such as bagged gravel or sand, should be strategically placed across the completed roof areas.
Project specific fixing details must be ascertained from the latest Sarnafil project specification.
- Waterproof membrane:
Sarnafil G476-SA is self-adhered directly to approved substrates primed with Sarnafil Primer 600 or Spray Primer 610. Side laps are heat welded using the 80 mm wide salvage edge, end joints are butted together and weathered using Sarnafil G410-EL membrane.
Installation is carried out by Sarnafil trained contractors.
