EXECUTION
Adverse weather
General: Do not lay membrane at temperatures below 5°C or in wet or damp conditions unless effective temporary cover is provided over working area.
Unfinished areas of roof: Keep dry and protect edges of laid membrane from wind action.
Incomplete work
End of working day: Provide temporary seal to prevent water infiltration.
On resumption of work: Cut away tail of membrane from completed area and remove from roof.
Applying primers
General: Use primer where recommended by membrane manufacturer. Surface coverage: Even and full.
Coats: Fully bonded. Allow volatiles to dry off thoroughly between coats.
Substrates
Surfaces to be covered: Secure, clean, dry, smooth, free from frost, contaminants, voids and protrusions.
Preliminary work: Complete, including grading to correct falls and formation of upstands, kerbs, box gutters, sumps, grooves, chases, expansion joints and fixing of battens, fillets, anchoring plugs/ strips, etc.
Moisture content and stability of substrate: Must not impair integrity of roof.
Renewing existing coverings
Substrate: Do not damage.
Timing: Only remove sufficient coverings as will be renewed and waterproofed on same day.
Laying metal deck overlay
Setting out: Lay boards with staggered joints and long edges at right angles to troughs in deck.
•
Joints: Plywood overlays, allow 1 mm per metre panel size; OSB overlays, allow 2 mm per metre panel size.•
End joints: Centre over crown of deck. Fasteners:•
Type: As fastener manufacturer's recommendationsfor the purpose.•
Fastener heads: Flush with, or below board surface.Laying vapour control layer
Laying: Flat and smooth.

General: Secure membrane at roof edge conditions, changes of plane, curb flashings, upstands to roof lights, etc. with mechanical fasteners.
Perimeter details
Thermoplastic membranes:
Upstands, edge trims, drips, kerbs, etc: Select method compatible with membrane, either:
•
Secure preformed metal sections to roof structure with mechanical fasteners.•
Form flashings from waterproof membrane material.Roof membrane: Select method compatible with membrane, either:
•
Dress over perimeter profile. Overlap beyond fasteners to manufacturer's/ supplier's recommendations.•
Terminate in horizontal plane immediately adjacent to change in direction and secure with mechanical fasteners. Flashings: Dress over perimeter profile. Overlap horizontal roof membrane beyond perimeter securement to manufacturer's/ supplier's recommendations.Sealing: Select method compatible with membrane, either:
•
Weld together.•
Bond with adhesive and weld at overlap.•
