DerbigumBuilt-Up Torch-Applied Bituminous Warm Roof

Application1. Prime the WBP plywood deck with Alumasc Bitumen Primer and allow to

fully dry.

2. Apply the Nilperm vapour barrier, fully bonded in hot bitumen, providing edge protection to the insulation board at all perimeters, openings and projections, with 100mm side laps and 150mm end laps.

3. Install Alumasc GTF Polyisocyanurate insulation, fully bonded in hot bitumen (including Alumasc BGT Polyisocyanurate at upstands, where appropriate – method of attachment dependent on nature of substrate). Boards must be tightly butt jointed and staggered.

4. Install Type 3G (to BS 8747) perforated layer, loose laid, with mineral surface down, with 50mm side and end laps. Terminate the 3G layer 300-500mm from upstands and penetrations.

5. Install Hi-Ten Universal underlay, fully bonded in hot bitumen, with 100mm side and 150mm end laps.

6. Install Derbigum Black or Mineral Cap Sheet, fully bonded by torching, with 100mm side laps and 150mm end laps. A small (approx 5-10mm) continuous bead of compound must always visible at the joint.

7. Note: Pre-cut the lower corner of the end of each roll at 45º where it will be overlapped by the end lap of the next roll.

8. All detail work to be executed in two layers, the first layer being Hi-Ten Universal, followed by the cap sheet of Derbigum, both fully bonded by torching. At all upstands install a 100 x 100mm reinforcement strip of Derbigum Black into the angle. The main sheet area must overlap onto the reinforcing strip by the full 100mm. Install a final flashing piece of Derbigum, fully bonded to the upstand and overlapping onto the main horizontal sheet area by a minimum of 100mm.

NB: Derbigum waterproofing systems are exclusively installed by a nationwide network of Derbigum Approved Contractors.

System Componentsn Derbigum Black or Mineral Cap Sheet is a high

performance, APP modified bituminous membrane, with dual glass/polyester reinforcement, suitable for application by torch application.

n Hi-Ten Universal is a polyester based underlay, suitable for torch application (or by bonding in hot bitumen where appropriate).

n Type 3G perforated layer is a sanded faced isolating layer with a mineral underside, which facilitates a partial bond of the Hi-Ten Universal to the insulation below.

n Alumasc GTF is a CFC- and HCFC-free polyisocyanurate thermal insulation with plain glass-fibre tissue to both faces and is supplied in 600 by 1200mm boards and a range of thicknesses to suit the required thermal value.

n Nilperm is a polyester based high performance vapour barrier with an aluminium core, and is completely resistant to the passage of water vapour.

n Alumasc Bitumen Primer is a low viscosity, solvent-based bitumen primer intended to maximise the adhesion of bituminous membranes to metal and porous substrates.
