The system an overview
Rhenofol advantages
Central warehouse of the REWE AG in Stelle, securely waterproofed with Rhenofol.
The roofing membrane with widespread advantages I Particularly efficient and economic application I Resistant to UV radiation and weathering I Proven long-term durability all over the world I Especially designed for the demands of new industrial buildings I Single-ply with reliable sealing of seams I Applied without open flame I Completely recyclable Tailor-made solutions Depending on the requirements of the project and the different roof structures, applying various methods for ensuring secure installation, the roofing membrane system Rhenofol always provides the best possible solution. I For mechanically fastened layer build-ups without ballast: Rhenofol CV, the roofing membrane with polyester fibre reinforcement according to DIN 16734.
I For loosely laid build-ups with ballast (gravel, paving slabs, vegetation): Rhenofol CG, the roofing membrane with glass fleece reinforcement according to DIN 16735.
I Roof Gardens with Rhenofol CG have been tested in a four-year-test (FLL testing) for resistance to root penetration. Thus, the roofing membrane Rhenofol CG has a double function: waterproofing and protection against root penetration.
Rhenofol advantages
Proven quality The application of Rhenofol not only offers the immediate benefit of fast and efficient installation. On the one hand, the quality is regularly tested by in-house material control. On the other hand, neutral and independent institutes carry out tests of our roofing membranes when newly laid. Furthermore, the State Material Testing Institute in Darmstadt, Germany, regularly confirms that even after several years of weather exposure, Rhenofol still shows product qualities that surpass the requirements for synthetic roofing membranes as they leave the production line.
Examples Testing the roof in an Industrial environment. Rhenofol CV 1.2 mm, mechanically fastened, no leaks even after decades.
Warehouse and assembly halls of Pfalzmbel Broeinrichtungsfabrik GmbH in Bad Schnborn. Rhenofol CV 1.2 mm, mechanically fastened, unimpaired performance after twenty years.
Rhenofol advantages PVC and the environment

The raw materials for PVC powder production: petroleum and mineral salt.
Rhenofol is a roofing membrane made of non-rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC-P), because PVC has many advantages: I I I I I I I I I versatile postforming flexible durable economical weather-resistant robust maintenance-free recyclable
I Fire performance PVC products are extremely hard to ignite and are self-extinguishing. The ignition temperature of Rhenofol is 330 400 C and thus almost twice as high as that of timber which catches fire at temperatures as low as 210 270 C. Also the heat build-up of burning PVC is two thirds less than that of timber. I Energy and resource profile analysis PVC uses less energy and resources than other materials used for similar purposes. The air and water consumption for production is also relatively small. In order to preserve landfill sites and resources, old PVC-P roofing membranes are recycled.
PVC stands up even to critical questions: I Production The basic ingredients for the production of PVC powder are mineral salt (57 %) and petroleum (43 %). The producers have committed themselves to using ecological production techniques and technologies. Additives, such as colouring pigments, are part of all PVC recipes. The colouring pigments are inorganic additives, such as titanium dioxide, that are not detrimental to health and are used, amongst others, for cosmetics and food products. I Processing Rhenofol seams can be sealed without the use of open flame, by hot air or solvent-welding agent. Neither during processing nor during subsequent use of the roofing membrane are significant amounts of hazardous substances released.

We must accept our ecological responsibility The building materials industry has learnt this lesson. That is why highly versatile and proven materials like PVC are recycled more than ever. FDT continually assesses the use of PVC as a durable building material. That is why we consider ecological aspects not only with regard to the production and storage of the roofing membranes, but also with regard to their application and disposal.

Recycling a European concern Together with the other leading European producers of PVC roofing membranes, FDT founded the association for PVC roofing membrane recycling (AfDR). They developed a joint concept for the recycling of old roofing membranes, which has been in use since 1994. In the AfDR recycling plant, the old PVC materials are processed and pulverized. The resulting recycling product is then used again for roofing membrane production. It is an ideal raw material for new roofing and waterproofing membranes.

Quality control
Rhenofol under formal quality control Because of their practical experience, installers and designers become ever more demanding with regard to the quality of the roofing membranes. FDT meets these high quality requirements in an exemplary manner, through accurate production methods, permanent production control and monitoring measures in cooperation with official material testing institutes. The following features, amongst others, are tested during production: I I I I I I I No blisters or cracks Thickness, width consistency Flatness Weight per square metre Tensile strength, elongation at break Dimensional stability after storage at + 80 C Bending behaviour at temperatures as low as 20 C
These regular control measures include the production, external storage and the application on building sites. The in-house FDT quality control and the quality control carried out by a neutral testing authority provide the certainty that Rhenofol is a reliable and long-term solution to flat roof problems.
Warranty on materials Warranty certificates are available for all roofing membranes supplied by FDT. FDT offers comprehensive warranty, including warranty on materials and additional agreements in line with NFRC initiatives which deal with the reimbursement of application costs and resulting expenses. A range of options are available to meet the clients requirements.

Safety and functional efficiency, supporting construction
Automated working processes, for example with automatic fastening tools, provide for economical application.
Safety and functional efficiency With mechanical fastening, the waterproofing membrane is independant of the other elements in the roof build-up. Movements of these other components therefore cannot pass on stresses to the membrane, which is significant for the long term effectiveness of the system, especially on lightweight roofs. Every installation has a specific wind uplift calculation.
Application instructions Supporting construction I The supporting deck structure has to meet the requirements with regard to loadbearing capacity, deflection, anchorage and drainage. I Joints that may impede the functional efficiency of the roof sealing due to their width or movements, have to be formed according to constructional requirements. I For compatibility reasons, timber board cladding, chipboards and the like may be treated only with salt-based wood preservatives. Oil or solvent based impregnation agents must not be used. I Rapid intrusion of air underneath the roof sealing at the roof perimeter and at roof penetrations must be prevented. Therefore these areas have to be made windtight, in the case of profiled steel decking, for example, by closing the air drains with filling material. I Roofing membranes Rhenofol CV must not come into contact with bitumen or tar. I National standards and regulations must be observed.
14
Vapour control layer, thermal insulation layer
Vapour control layer As vapour control layers, in the case of nonventilated roofs, we recommend: I For non air-conditioned rooms (e.g. living rooms and offices or similar rooms without suspended ceiling): vapour barrier PE (polyethylene). The vapour barrier PE is applied with a seam overlap of 10 cm, with the seams being sealed with connection or seam tape. The vapour barrier must be taken up and flashed at connections and cappings with connection tape; at roof penetrations it must be flashed. I For rooms with high air condition loads (e.g. swimming pools and air-conditioned rooms): In case of air-conditioned rooms and rooms with high air condition loads, as well as high pressure rooms, there should be no mechanical fastening through the vapour barrier. In these cases please consult the FDT experts to identify the right layer build-up and application method. I National standards and regulations must be observed.
Thermal insulation layer You must bear in mind tread-fastness when designing the thermal insulation layer on steel profile supporting decks. As materials for thermal insulation layers we recommend: I Large-sized insulation boards made of quality assured rigid foam or Polyurethane size 1.20 x 1.20 m or 1.20 x 2.40 m. I Large-sized non-flammable mineral fibre boards. Because of better suitability for mechanical fastening, we recommend boards with a greater resistance to point loads (min. 500 N at 5 mm deformation) and increased compression strength (compressive strain at 10 % compression set min. 0.06 N/mm2). Small-sized insulation boards can be used, provided they can be properly fastened. Insulation boards or board sections that are not sufficiently fixed by linear fastening must be secured in a stable position with additional fasteners (at least 2 fasteners/m2) prior to applying the roofing membrane. Insulation materials that are not dimensionally stable and which buckle or bulge must not be installed. The insulation elements must be laid with pressed joints in bond (with the long side perpendicular to the application direction of the roofing membrane). I National standards and regulations must be observed.
15
Separation layer, Rhenofol CV, mechanically fastened at the overlapped membrane edge
Separation layer When Polystyrene Insulation is used with Rhenofol CV a separation layer is obligatory. On top of inflammable thermal insulation materials for fire protection reasons a glass fleece 120 g/m2 must be installed as a separation layer, preventing interaction (e.g. with rigid polystyrene foam) at the same time. On top of hard substrates with distinctive edges (e.g. timber board cladding, lightweight concrete), the FDT synthetic fleece 300 g/m2 must be installed as a separation and protection layer. For the separation against bituminous layers, e.g. in case of old roof refurbishment, a FDT synthetic fleece 300 g/m2 must be installed, if necessary combined with an underlying polyethylene foil. I National standards and regulations must be observed.
Rhenofol CV mechanically fastened at the overlapped membrane edge Roofing membranes Rhenofol CV are loosely laid and mechanically fastened at the overlapped membrane edge. The seam overlap is 10 cm (100 mm). Depending on the substrate, different fastening elements are used. The membrane seams are securely joined through solvent or hot air welding. On profiled steel deckings and timber board cladding the Rhenofol CV membranes must be arranged perpendicularly to the corrugations or boards to achieve the most regular wind load distribution possible into the supporting deck. Rhenofol CV can be mechanically fastened on roofs with any slope. With roof slopes over 20, we recommend agreeing the application with the FDT experts.

Not for tower-style detached building. Not for exposed positions. The values refer to a design load of 0.4 kN/fastener. With profiled steel deckings with wider corrugation spacing, additional single fasteners in the middle of the membrane may be necessary, if the requires amount of fasteners cannot be placed at the overlapped membrane edge alone.
Note: In-line fastening spacing min. 15 cm, max. 60 cm. Fastener spacing on the same corrugation at profiled steel deckings must not be less than 20 cm. At building heights over 20 m and in special cases (e.g. airplane hangars, buildings near the coast, extreme exposure) you have to define appropriate object-related measures for membrane position stability. On request, computer-based object-related calculations of the necessary amount of fasteners are carried out, which may result in lesser amounts of fasteners than indicated in the table, provided the building has a favourable geometry. I National standards and regulations must be observed.

Rhenofol CV, mechanically fastened with solvent paste system
As an alternative to fastening at the overlapped membrane edge, Rhenofol CV may also be applied with the solvent paste system. Beforehand, Rhenofol CV strips or Rhenofol CV sets (discs with a diameter of 18 cm) are mechanically fastened. Then the roofing membrane Rhenofol CV is laid. The homogenous joint between roofing membrane and strip is achieved with the Rhenofol welding paste SB that has been specially developed for this application method. With supporting profiled steel deckings and timber board cladding, the Rhenofol CV strips are arranged perpendicularly to the installation direction of the steel sheets or timber boards, to achieve a regular wind load distribution into the supporting deck.
Sketch Layer build-up with mechanical fastening of Rhenofol CV with the welding paste system.
Advantages of the welding paste system: I The field fastening principle provides best possible load distribution, so that, compared to seam fastening, higher design loads are possible. This also means less fasteners. I The strip spacing can be continuously adjusted, which means best possible use of the design load. I Uniform membrane width of 2.05 m over the complete roof area, reducing seam welding to a minimum. I The seam overlap is only 5 cm, as no fasteners have to be covered. The welding paste system has proven itself on many roofs since 1993. The strip spacing and the amount of fasteners are, in principle, designed by the FDT experts according to each object. The application with the welding paste system requires special professional knowledge. It should therefore be carried out only by specially trained applicators.

Perimeter fixing Fastening materials
Perimeter fixing For wind safety reasons, roofing membranes Rhenofol CV must be fixed at all perimeters, penetrations and valleys with a deviation of more than 3 from the horizontal, by welding onto Rhenofol coated metal sheets. The fixing is carried out with angles or strips of Rhenofol coated metal sheets that are fixed onto the substrate, against which the roofing membrane Rhenofol CV is flashed in the roof level by welding. The coated metal sheets should be cut to a width of at least 8 cm. If the thermal insulation layers do not allow direct fastening in the substrate, the underlay of the coated metal sheets must be sufficiently pressure-resistant. Suitable underlays are: I Insulation materials with a compression strength of at least 0.15 N/mm2 at max. 10 % compression set. I Timber profiles, at least 3 cm thick, and underlying insulation material with a compression strength of at least 0.1 N/mm2 at max. 10 % compression set. I Single or multi-part timber profiles.
It is permissible under the following conditions to use single fasteners for perimeter fixing, instead of Rhenofol coated metal sheets: no exposed position building height max. 20 m layer build-up thickness above the upper edge of the supporting deck not more than 15 cm. The necessary amount of fastener per meter is identical with the amount of fasteners in the first row along the flashing, but not less than 4 fasteners/m. I National standards and regulations must be observed. Fastening elements and Rhenofol coated metal sheet fixing spacing

Flashings and cappings, application examples
Flashings and cappings All flashings and cappings are also carried out with Rhenofol CV flashing strips. The flashing strips must be sufficiently fixed. If the connecting membrane is bonded, then at flashing heights over 20 cm a full-size adhesive bond is necessary. Valley areas are left unbonded at a width of 20 cm to allow movement compensation. With mechanical fastening of the flashing membrane with Rhenofol coated metal sheets or by clamping with the mounting rail of the roof edge trim the spacing between the in-line fasteners must be not more than 50 cm.
In this case the whole girth length must be taken into consideration. The width of the Rhenofol coated metal sheets for intermediate fixing must be at least 5 cm. You may leave out separation layers in the flashing area, provided the substrate is smooth and even and the edges have a special protection (e.g. with angles made of Rhenofol coated metal sheets or synthetic fleece). With non-compatible materials you must always install suitable separation layers. You will find further examples on this topic in the drawings Technical details.

Safety and functional efficiency, supporting construction, vapour control layer
Safety and functional efficiency The ballast ensures the membrane remains secure against wind uplift forces. The nonshrinking roofing membrane Rhenofol CG with glass fleece reinforcement is loosely laid. Linear perimeter fixing with single elements is only necessary with flashings and cappings. Because of loose laying, the roof sealing is separated from the other layers of the build-up across the complete area. Movements and cracks in the supporting construction are not transferred into the roof sealing. Application instructions Supporting construction I The supporting deck structure has to meet the requirements with regard to loadbearing capacity, deflection, anchorage and drainage. I Clean, dry and even roof surfaces. I Substrates for application must be free of open cracks, rough concrete, sharp projections and stones. I Joints that may impede the functional efficiency of the roof sealing due to their width or movements have to be formed according to constructional requirements. I The roof slope should not exceed 3 to prevent the ballast slipping off.
I For compatibility reasons, timber board cladding, chipboards and the like may be treated only with salt-based wood preservatives. Oil or solvent based impregnation agents must not be used. I Rapid intrusion of air underneath the roof sealing at the roof perimeter and at roof penetrations must be prevented. Therefore these areas have to be made windtight. I Roofing membrane Rhenofol CG must not come into contact with bitumen or tar. I National standards and regulations must be observed. Vapour control layer As vapour control layers, in the case of nonventilated roofs, we recommend: I For non air-conditioned rooms (e.g. living rooms and offices or similar rooms without suspended ceiling): vapour barrier PE (polyethylene). In the case of lightweight concrete supporting decks with correctly calculated thermal insulation, you may leave out a vapour control layer, only if the room temperature stays below 20 C and the relative air humidity inside the room will not exceed 65 %.
36
Vapour control layer, thermal insulation layer, separation layer
The vapour barrier PE can be laid with a different overlap: either 10 cm if sealing the seams with connection tape, or a 20 cm loose overlap (without seam connection in the area) provided you have: a seamless solid deck, a dimensionally stable insulation material, 40, and standard room air conditions. I For rooms with high air condition loads (e.g. swimming pools, air-conditioned rooms): aluminium compound foils vapour control membrane with metal tape reinforcement. In case of doubt, we recommend a calculation of the building physics in order to identify the diffusion characteristics of the roof build-up. With lightweight steel deckings, we also recommend in principle the installation of a separate vapour control layer, which should be formed as an air barrier. The vapour barrier must be taken up and flashed at connections and cappings with connection tape; at roof penetrations it must be flashed with connection or seam tape. I National standards and regulations must be observed. Thermal insulation layer You must bear in mind tread-fastness when designing the thermal insulation layer on steel profile supporting decks.
Quality assured rigid polystyrene foam boards with rebated edge are especially suitable materials for thermal insulation layers, where compressive strength is important. Polyurethene and Hard Rock are also suitable. Insulation materials that are not dimensionally stable and which buckle or bulge must not be installed. The insulation elements must be laid with pressed joints in bond. If designed as inverted roof, the instructions of the insulation material manufacturer must be observed. I National standards and regulations must be observed. Separation layer Between the roofing membrane Rhenofol CG and the substrate, except for building class A fibre insulation material, a separation layer is obligatory. On top of inflammable thermal insulation materials, a glass fleece 120 g/m2 must be installed as a separation layer, preventing interaction (e.g. with rigid polystyrene foam) and serving as a fire retarding layer in weatherexposed flashing areas. On top of hard substrates with distinctive edges (e.g. timber board cladding, lightweight concrete) the FDT synthetic fleece 300 g/m2 must be installed as a separation and protection layer. For the separation against bituminous layers, e.g. in case of old roof refurbishment, a synthetic fleece 300 g/m2 must be installed, if necessary combined with an underlying polyethylene foil. I National standards and regulations must be observed.

Rhenofol CG loosely laid, upper separation layer/perimeter fixing, ballast
Rhenofol CG, loosely laid Roofing membranes Rhepanol CG are loosely laid with a seam overlap of 5 cm. The membrane seams are securely joined through solvent or hot air welding. Upper separation layer/perimeter fixing Between the roofing membrane Rhenofol CG and the gravel ballast, a separation layer of 0.2 mm to 0.25 mm thick, normally inflammable PE foil (e.g. vapour barrier PE) should preferably be installed. You may leave out the PE foil separation layer if the thickness of the membrane is not less than 1.5 mm. In principle, you will need perimeter fixing (at least 4 single fasteners/m or fixing with Rhenofol coated metal sheet) at all flashings and cappings, built-in details etc. Ballast Place ballast immediately onto loosely laid roofing membranes to secure its position against wind uplift. Suitable materials are: I bulk gravel layers, min. 50 mm thick, natural uncrushed stones, fraction 20/40. I paving slabs in a fine gravel bed. If appropriate gravel is not available or the gravel is applied pneumatically, then, as under paving slabs, you will need an additional protection layer (e.g. synthetic fleece 300 g/m2 or protection sheet Rhenofol TS). For compatibility reasons, coarse rubber protective sheets must be laid on a separation layer (e.g. synthetic fleece).

*Not for tower-style detached building. Not for exposed positions.
At building heights over 20 m and for roofs with high wind exposure e.g. tower-style, detached buildings, airplane hangars and buildings near the coast it is necessary to define appropriate object-related measures for membrane position stability. I National standards and regulations must be observed.

Flashings and cappings
Flashings and cappings All flashings and cappings are also carried out with Rhenofol CG flashing strips. The flashing strips must be sufficiently fixed. If the connecting membrane is bonded, then at flashing heights over 20 cm a full-size adhesive bond is necessary. Valley areas are left unbonded at a width of 20 cm to allow movement compensation.
With mechanical fastening of the flashing membrane with Rhenofol coated metal sheets or by clamping with the mounting rail of the roof edge trim the spacing between the in-line fasteners must be not more than 50 cm. In this case the whole girth length must be taken into consideration. The width of the Rhenofol coated metal sheets for intermediate fixing must be at least 5 cm.

Rhenofol CG for decks and trafficked areas: Safety and functional efficiency
Safety and functional efficiency Roofing and waterproofing membrane Rhenofol CG meets all the requirements set up for reliable waterproofing of traffic deck roof areas. Being loosely applied, the roof sealing is separated from the other layers of the buildup across the complete area, ensuring that shrinkage and tension cracks in adjoining layers will not impair the waterproofing. The membrane is loosely laid between two protection layers and thus meets the requirements of a sealing against non-pressurized water. The ballast ensures the membrane remains secure against wind uplift forces. Rhenofol CG is rot-proof and permanently tight even without being compressed. Solutions containing natural chemicals, humic acid and de-icing salts do not impair its long term efficiency. I National standards and regulations must be observed. Application instructions
Parking deck of a housing estate in Frankfurt am Main, waterproofed with Rhenofol CG.
Supporting construction I The supporting deck structure has to meet the requirements with regard to loadbearing capacity, deflection, anchorage and drainage. I Clean, dry and even roof surfaces. I Substrates for application must be free of open cracks, rough concrete, sharp projections and stones. I National standards and regulations must be observed.
47
Rhenofol CG for deck areas: Supporting construction, vapour control layer
Supporting construction I Joints that may impede the functional efficiency of the roof sealing due to their width or movements, have to be formed according to constructional requirements. With precast concrete supporting decks, joints must be completely pointed, open joints must be covered, e.g. with metal strips fixed on one side. I The waterproofing level and the covering surface of parking decks and roof terraces must be sloped. The designed slope should be 10 % or more. Slope layers have to consist of gravel concrete. I For compatibility reasons, timber board cladding and derived timber products may be treated only with salt-based wood preservatives. Oil or solvent based impregnation agents must not be used. I On roof terraces immediately above residential storeys, appropriate footfall sound insulation must be installed. I The waterproofing may only be exposed to pressure forces perpendicular to its surface, not to tensile or shearing forces (e.g. when driving off or braking). If necessary, abutments, anchors or similar must be installed to prevent solid coverings slipping off or buckling. I An intrusion of air underneath the roof sealing at the roof perimeter and at roof penetrations must be prevented. Therefore these areas have to be made windtight. I Rhenofol CG must not come into contact with bitumen or tar. I National standards and regulations must be observed.
Vapour control layer As vapour control layers, in the case of nonventilated roofs, we recommend: I For non air-conditioned rooms (e.g. living rooms and offices or similar rooms without suspended ceiling): vapour barrier PE (polyethylene). I The vapour barrier PE can be laid with different overlap: either 10 cm if sealing the seams with seam tape, or 20 cm loose overlap (without seam connection in the area) provided you have: a seamless solid deck, a dimensionally stable insulation material, 40, and I standard room air conditions. I For rooms with high air condition loads (e.g. swimming pools, air-conditioned rooms): aluminium compound foils vapour control membrane with metal tape reinforcement. In case of doubt, we recommend a calculation of the building physics in order to identify the diffusion characteristics of the roof build-up. The vapour barrier must be taken up and flashed at connections and cappings with connection tape; at roof penetrations it must be flashed with connection or seam tape. I National standards and regulations must be observed.
48
Rhenofol CG for decks and trafficked areas: Thermal insulation layer Lower protection layer Sealing Upper protection layer
Thermal insulation layer The thermal insulation layer is to be designed in accordance with the thermal and humidity protection requirements. In order to avoid deformation damage, you must use insulation materials that will resist the static and dynamic loads. Quality assured rigid polystyrene foam boards are especially suitable materials. The boards must have a rebated edge. Compressive strain or strength reference values at 10 % compression set: min. 0.15 N/mm2 for all decks. As permissible pressure load on insulation layers, we recommend using only 20 % of the indicated measured values. Insulation materials that are not dimensionally stable and which buckle or bulge must not be installed. The insulation elements must be laid with pressed joints in bond. If designed as inverted roof the instructions of the insulation material manufacturer must be observed. I National standards and regulations must be observed. Lower protection layer Under the sealing a FDT synthetic fleece protection 300 g/m2 is applied. The protection layer provides reliable protection of the sealing against mechanical impact originating from the substrate and prevents interaction e.g. with rigid polystyrene foam. I National standards and regulations must be observed. Sealing Waterproofing is carried out with at least 1.5 mm thick, loosely laid roofing membranes Rhenofol CG (PVC-P roofing membrane according to DIN 16735). Note: Place ballast immediately onto loosely laid roofing membranes to secure its position against wind uplift. I National standards and regulations must be observed. Upper protection layer As an upper protection layer, 1.1 mm thick Rhenofol TS membranes (non-rigid PVC with fleece backing) are installed with a seam overlap of 5 cm bonded with Rhenofol paste. At flashings and cappings a separate flashing strip is used, loosely overlapping the protection layer at roof level by 25 cm. Rhenofol TS membranes provide protection against mechanical damage, prevent screed or concrete from sticking and allow for the careful compensation of possible movement in solid wear and protection layers. For compatibility reasons coarse rubber protective sheets must be laid on a separation layer (e.g. synthetic fleece). I National standards and regulations must be observed.
49
Rhenofol CG for decks and trafficked areas: Protective layer/ballast Perimeter fixing Flashings and cappings/built-in details
Protective layer/ballast Vehicular traffic or heavy load roof areas will be equipped with a statically determined reinforced concrete panel, which serves as a protective layer at the same time. In order to prevent damaging the waterproofing by movements and deformations of the solid protective layer, concrete layers must be partitioned by joints. The panel size of open concrete layers should not exceed 2.15 x 2.5 m (= half of the mat width). After inserting backfill material the panel joints are pointed with joint sealant. I National standards and regulations must be observed. Perimeter fixing In principle, you will need linear perimeter fixing (at least 4 single fasteners/m or fixing with Rhenofol coated metal sheet) at all flashings and cappings, built-in details etc. Flashings and cappings/built-in details All flashings and cappings are also carried out with Rhenofol CG flashing strips. The flashing strips must be sufficiently fixed. If the connecting membrane is bonded, then at flashing heights over 20 cm, a full-size adhesive bond with Rhenofol Contact Adhesive is necessary. Valley areas are left unbonded at a width of 20 cm to allow movement compensation. With mechanical fastening of the flashing membrane with Rhenofol coated metal sheets or by clamping with the mounting rail of the roof edge trim the spacing between
the in-line fasteners must be not more than 50 cm. In this case the whole girth length must be taken into consideration. The width of the Rhenofol coated metal sheets for intermediate fixing must be at least 5 cm. See also the sketches on page 38. At all flashings the sealing must be taken up at least 15 cm over the surface of the protective or wear layer, fixed with mounting rails and made rain-proof. When sealing roofs of soil-covered buildings, the waterproofing must be taken down at least by 20 cm under the joint between ceiling and walls. Example: Flashing built-in detail door
At door flashings the sealing is protected against mechanical damage by a flashing.

Safety and functional efficiency
Safety and functional efficiency Roofing membrane Rhenofol CG meets all requirements set up for reliable waterproofing of green roofs. In terms of resistance to root penetration, Rhenofol CG meets the test requirements of the FLL testing method, test cycle of four years. That means that the roofing membrane Rhenofol CG serves as a sealing and as a protection against root penetration at the same time. There is no need for a separate root protection layer. Because of loose laying between the two protection layers, the roof sealing is separated from the other layers of the build-up across the complete area, ensuring that shrinkage and tension cracks in adjoining layers will not impair the sealing. In most cases the ballast in form of a vegetation mat is sufficient for ensuring position stability against wind uplift. The sealing is rot-proof. Solutions containing natural chemicals and humic acid do not impair the functional efficiency.

I Joints that may impede the functional efficiency of the roof sealing due to their width or movements, have to be formed according to constructional requirements. I Green roofs should be designed with a slope. The designed slope should be 2% or more. I With steeper roof slopes (from approx. 7) special shearing protection measures are necessary, which must be agreed with the manufacturer of the green roof system, depending on the object. In this respect, the instruction of the manufacturer of the green roof system must be observed. I For compatibility reasons, timber board cladding or chipboards may be treated only with salt-based wood preservatives. Oil or solvent based impregnation agents must not be used. I An intrusion of air underneath the roof sealing at the roof perimeter and at roof penetrations must be prevented. Therefore these areas have to be made windtight.

The vapour control layer PE is applied with a 10 cm seam overlap. The seams are sealed with seam or connection tape. I For rooms with high air condition loads (e.g. swimming pools, air-conditioned rooms): aluminium compound foils our control membrane with metal tape reinforcement. In case of doubt, we recommend a calculation of the building physics in order to identify the diffusion characteristics of the roof build-up.

58
Thermal insulation layer Lower protection layer Sealing Upper protection layer
Thermal insulation layer You must bear in mind tread-fastness when designing the thermal insulation layer on steel profile supporting decks. As materials for thermal insulation layers we recommend: I Quality assured rigid polystyrene foam thermal insulation boards with rebated edge. I Non-flammable mineral fibre boards. We recommend boards with increased compression strength (compressive strain at 10 % compression set min. 0.06 N/mm2 Insulation materials that are not dimensionally stable and which buckle or bulge must not be installed. The insulation boards must be laid with pressed joints in bond. I National standards and regulations must be observed. Lower protection layer Under the sealing a FDT synthetic fleece protection 300 g/m2 is applied. In case of extensive green roofs and polystyrene thermal insulation layers you may also use FDT glass fleece 120 g/m2. The protection layer provides reliable protection of the sealing against mechanical impact originating from the substrate and prevents interaction e.g. with rigid polystyrene foam. I National standards and regulations must be observed.
Sealing Green roof areas are sealed with loosely laid roofing membranes Rhenofol CG, at least 1.5 mm thick. Place ballast immediately onto loosely laid roofing membranes to secure its position against wind uplift. I National standards and regulations must be observed. Perimeter fixing In principle, you will need perimeter fixing (at least 4 single fasteners/m or fixing with Rhenofol coated metal sheet) at all flashings and cappings, built-in details etc. Upper protection layer As an upper protection layer, 1.1 mm thick Rhenofol TS membranes (non-rigid PVC with fleece backing) are installed with butt-joined seams that are welded over with 10 cm Rhenofol strips. At flashings and cappings a separate flashing strip is used loosely overlapping the protection layer at roof level by 25 cm. With extensive green roof systems instead of Rhenofol TS a min. 0.2 mm thick PE foil can be applied as an upper separation layer, provided that on top of the PE foil a drainage layer is installed serving as upper protection layer at the same time. For compatibility reasons coarse rubber protective sheets must be laid on a separation layer (e.g. synthetic fleece). I National standards and regulations must be observed.

Roof garden system/position stability Flashings and cappings/built-in details
Roof gardens system/position stability Planting of the roof is done with standard roof garden systems. You must use only drained green roof systems, since the described sealing build-ups are not designed for storage irrigation. Note: I As regards green roof layers (drainage, filter and vegetation layer), the instruction of the manufacturer of the green roof system must be observed. The green roof build-up in many cases provides position stability against wind uplift at the same time. The calculated wind loads must be observed. Only the dry weight of the green roof build-up will be taken into consideration. If the green roof system does not provide sufficient ballast, e.g. in case of lightweight extensive green roofs at the perimeter and corner areas of the roof, the roofing membrane must be mechanically fastened in these areas, e.g. at the overlapped membrane edge. Spacing of the mechanical fastening is normally done with respect to the overall wind load. In this case, the weight of the green roof layers should not be taken into consideration. I National standards and regulations must be observed.
