Measure and design service |
Many contractors will not be aware of the need to adequately prepare in advance the details of door steps, window sills, box gutter details and edge finishing. |
Laminated galvanised steel profiles for cappings, edges, flashings, sills and steps |
A series of p.v.c. laminated profiles is mechanically fixed prior to the membrane being next welded to the profiles. The heat welded membrane then provides permanent protection to the fixings. |
| Heat welded seams | All laps, joints, junctions are heat welded, resulting in a hormogeneous unit. |
Fabricated column sleeves |
Turned-up boots around column bases are individually fabricated and terminated above the paving level. |
| Bonded or loose laid applications | In the rare applications where bonding is called for, the membrane installation can be fully bonded to the substrate. |
T shaped profiles |
A T shaped profile can be installed at the balcony edge to reduce the flow of water born silica salts from staining exterior finishes. |
| Always waterproof your balcony before you install the door/window frames. |
| Weep holes in brick courses should be created in a position so as they are one course above the highest turned-up point of membrane. (Minimum 150mm) |
| Closely supervise the installation of adequate over flashings through the brickwork where required. |
| Guttering should be installed before waterproofing to allow the membrane to be lapped in to the gutter. |
| Have the membrane installed before any cladding. (Roof flashing principles) |
| Provide adequate large diameter drainage outlets in the required positions. |
