Description

Rooflogic Ultraflex TPO Membranes are single ply, polyester fabric reinforced, thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO/FTO) fully bonded and mechanically fastened waterproofing sheet membrane for roofs and decks.

Scope

1. Rooflogic Ultraflex TPO Membranes have been appraised as roof and deck waterproofing membranes on buildings within the following scope:

• the scope limitations of NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Paragraph 1.1; or,
• the scope limitations of NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Paragraph 1.1 with regards to building height and floor plan area when subject to specific structural design; and,
• with substrates of plywood, or suspended concrete slab; and,
• with minimum falls for roofs of 1:30 and decks of 1:40; and,
• with deck size limited to 40 m²; and,
• situated in NZS 3604 Wind Zones up to, and including, Extra High.

2. Rooflogic Ultraflex TPO Membranes have also been appraised as roof and deck waterproofing membranes on buildings within the following scope:

• subject to specific structural and weathertightness design and,
• with substrates of plywood, or suspended concrete slab; and,
• situated in specific design wind pressures up to a maximum design differential ultimate limit state (ULS) of 3 kPa; and,
• with the weathertightness design of junctions for each specific structure being the responsibility of the building designer.

3. Roofs and decks waterproofed with Rooflogic Ultraflex TPO Membranes must be designed and constructed in accordance with the following limitations:

• nominally flat roofs and decks and pitched roofs constructed to drain water to gutters and drainage outlets complying with the NZBC; and,
• with no steps within the deck level, no integral roof gardens and no downpipes directly discharging to decks; and,
• with the deck membrane continually protected from physical damage by a pedestal protection.

4. The design and construction of the substrate and movement and control joints is specific to each building, and therefore is the responsibility of the building designer and building contractor and is outside the scope of this Appraisal.

5. The membranes must be installed by Rooflogic Limited approved applicators.
