Installation Guidelines

This product should be installed in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and all relevant national standards and codes of practice, including BS 8217:2005 – the code of practice for reinforced bitumen membranes for roofing.

Mineral Surface Protection

The upper surface of the membrane is protected using mineral granules, which are sourced from natural quarrying. The colours of the minerals therefore can sometimes vary depending on seam depths and extraction positions within the quarry. However, after the effects of the weathering and ageing, any variations will become less visible.

Maintenance and Repair

Routine inspection, cleaning and maintenance of the roof membranes should be based on the recommendation in BS 8217:2005. Should it be damaged either during construction or at later date, then the repairs should be made using the same materials so that the performance of the built-up membranes is retained.

Standards

Manufactured in accordance with BS EN 13707:2004+A2:2009 – Flexible sheets for waterproofing. Reinforced bitumen sheets for roof waterproofing.

Handling and Storage
