PERFORMANCE CHOOSE THE ADEQUATE SYSTEM

CHOOSE THE ADEQUATE SYSTEM

 

lso referred to as Single-Ply, the system is composed of a top layer of TPO, EPDM or PVC membrane, an intermediate layer of thermoacoustic insulating usually with rigid foam polyisocyanurate (PIR) and lower layer in trapezoidal sheets or on concrete slabs as schemes below:

System composition

 

 

 

It is very important to make the appropriate choice of membrane according their characteristics and projects needs, noting:

- Exposure to UV / Durability
- Exposure to chemicals / Durability
- Temperature - Flexibility / Stability
- Energy Efficiency / LEED
- Environment impact / cost lifecycle
 

Study chamber Xenon Arc - according to ASTM G 155 simulate the aging of the different membranes when exposed to radiation and the results are presented below.
