The purpose of a flat roof waterproofing system is to ensure the long-term integrity of the building asset. There are various design considerations to take into account, appropriate materials to select, and different components to install. Moreover, to ensure a long lifespan for your flat roof, regular roof maintenance is required. Our waterproofing experts are happy to help with your flat roof deck, from giving advice on the design and build-up to providing technical support and on-site visits. Note that our products should always be installed by approved contractors.
Various flat roof covering types
The type of roof covering that your project requires – synthetic, structural, bituminous or liquid waterproofing – depends on the circumstances. In a refurbishment scenario, with a property that is still inhabited, a cold works solution might be preferred over torch-on applications or hot works. At SOPREMA, we make sure to specify a system that meets your specific needs and requirements.
In addition, we have an extensive range of BROOF(t4) compliant systems, and we can help you make sure that the system installed complies with BROOF(t4) and other relevant standards. Our Technical Sales Managers carry out a detailed survey to determine the condition of the existing roof. Our specifications cover every aspect of the project requirements, resulting in a project-specific solution that meets all the latest standards and ensuring that the roofing system best suits your client’s needs.
Hybrid systems and flat roof decks
Are you interested in our hybrid waterproofing systems? Under the same warranty, we can provide, for instance, a warm roof bituminous system alongside ALSAN PMMA for the details. We manufacture both at SOPREMA, ensuring all can be done in the same installation while covered under one umbrella.
Flat roofs: our premium products
In addition, we can help you speed up the concrete curing that may be a part of the surface preparation works. SOPRADVANCE CONCRETE COMPOUND, for example, is a fast‐curing concrete conditioning product you can use on damp concrete substrates. It enables the application of primers and other SOPREMA waterproofing systems to be installed in as little as seven days after pouring the concrete, by creating an effective sealer between the concrete substrate and the waterproofing system.
Always at your service
If you need technical support, whether that is a site visit or a specification, or if a change to the design is in order at any point in your project: our experts are always on hand. Do not hesitate to get in touch with them.
