Material:
The water proofing membrane shall have a non-woven polyester membrane coated
on both side with APP (Atactic polypropylene) modified bitumen. It shall have a Black
finish with a very thin polyethylene foil on both sides It shall be in rolls of 1x10m for
continuous laying on large lengths. When installed, it shall form an impervious,
flexible blanket, which accepts normal structural movement without breaking or
cracking.

Workmanship:
Preparation of surface:

The roof surface (or screed) shall be thoroughly cleaned with a wire brush and all
foreign matter etc. shall be removed. Well-defined cracks on the surfaces shall be cut
to a ‘V’ section, cleaned and filled up flush with a paste of filling compound and
cement in the ratio of 1:2. The finished surface shall be perfectly dry and any
dampness should be allowed to evaporate.

Laying:

The membrane shall be laid on the perfectly dry prepared surface by torching-on
method with a gas torch. All joints shall have an overlap of 75mm which shall be torch
sealed. The overlap shall be done in a manner, which does not hinder water flow
along the roof slope. The membrane shall be finished with bituminous base
aluminium paint. The waterproofing shall be continued up to the parapet/wall for a
minimum of 600mm over the finished roof surface. It shall be continued into rain water
pipes by at least 100mm.

Cement Screed:

Plain cement concrete (1:2:4) of 25mm min. thickness with 24 SWG chicken wire
mesh shall be laid to slope in panels not exceeding 6 m.sq. area per panel over the
roof slab. The joints between panels shall be raked out neatly (after stipulated curing
period) to a min. 6mm x 6mm V-groove and filled up with an approved quality sealant
compound. Drain outlet shall be provided for all spouts/ rain water pipes by suitable
rounding, filling and sloping of PCC. At the junction of the roof and parapet or any
other vertical surface, a fillet of 75mm radius shall be formed in cement mortar (1
cement: 4 coarse sand).

A guarantee of 10 years shall be provided by the manufacturer against the
