shocks. Our experience in chemical formulation and
commitment to only using superior polymers and blending
techniques gives this product cold-bending flexibility at less
than - 30˚C without losing elasticity.
n The high tensile strength of over 1100N is achieved by
incorporating a high quality polyester reinforcement
within the membrane to resist tears and punctures to ensure
durability.
n Tested and approved for green roof landscaping by the FLL.
n The PVC formulation ensures it is resistant to chemicals and
micro-organism attack, which is vital to the membrane’s
success in ballasted or green roof situations.
n Guaranteed system.

Bauder Thermofol is a PVC membrane with a formulation of
high grade virgin polymer and superior fire retardants ensuring
optimum membrane characteristics to deliver high performance
and a life expectancy in excess of 30 years.

PROFILED OVERLAY SYSTEM

The Bauder Profiled Insulation Overlay System incorporates a
bespoke expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation board that is
manufactured to match profiled sheet metal and roof structures,
typically comprised of steel, composite panels or aluminium.

Key Features

n The EPS insulation has a generic Green Guide A+ rating
(Element no. 815320024).
n Tested with Bauder Spray Contact Adhesive.
n Suitable for use with Thermofol (PVC) & Thermoplan (FPO)
systems.
n Single source supply.
n One point guarantee.
n No building interruption.
n More cost effective than re-cladding.

When to Specify

The EPS overlay system is primarily intended for refurbishing
profiled sheet metal roofs or increasing the thermal performance
of existing insulated cladding systems, bringing the construction
up to current building regulation requirements.

The profiled insulation boards are manufactured to order and
samples are produced to ensure that the profiles match the
existing roof sheets. U-values are calculated using the average
thickness of the profiled insulation board.

Measuring Service

Our measuring service will ensure that the boards are
manufactured to match the profile of the metal roof to
be overlayed.

and robust. which can be undertaken with either hot air or seam solvent welding.

Rooflights

Bauder Euroglaze and BauderDOME are the most advanced
rooflight designs available. With high standards of illumination,
insulation and ventilation, Bauder offers rooflights for all flat
roofed buildings. All these glazing products are fully compatible
with our roof waterproofing systems and the standard products
all hold BBA certification. They are installed with a comprehensive
guarantee to give total confidence and complete peace of mind.

Profile strips are available for the standard colours of the Thermofol
system and are 2 m long. The spacing of the profiles is dependant
on the client’s requirement for the aesthetic appearance of the
finished roof but are generally spaced at 750 mm wide centre.
This spacing enables one strip to be installed over the welded
seam of the membrane to mask the joint and the next strip to act
as a batten to reduce the movement of the membrane along the
centre of the sheet.

Installation Accessories

To ensure that our commitment to quality and problem free
installation remains firm, Bauder has developed a wide range of
PVC coated or compatible accessories for use with the Thermofol
membranes. These accessories range from the pre-coated metal
used in the formation of standard details through to a complete
range of outlets suitable for inclusion into the system.

The pre-coating of many of these accessory components with a
compatible PVC compound ensure that continued integrity can
be maintained when joining the membrane to any accessory item.

Along with the pre-coated components are a range of specialist
adhesives, solvents and cleaners to ensure that a complete
waterproofing package is available.

Walkways and Protection

Thermofol walkway membrane can be installed over the
waterproofing membrane. This un-reinforced membrane has an
embossed anti-slip finish and a contrasting color to provide a
clearly visible, safe area for non-regular foot traffic.

Roof areas which will be subjected to more regular or harsh traffic
can easily be accommodated with the Thermofol system but
specific requirements should be discussed with Bauder prior to
installation.

The Thermofol walkway is installed by loose laying the protective
sheet over the waterproofing membrane and sealing around the
perimeter using either the hot air welding or solvent jointing
techniques.

OUR SERVICE

Your project is important to us and our service is dedicated
to providing a single ply solution that fully understands all the
individual issues of the project and answers the waterproofing
needs of the building.

New Build Construction

Your roof design can be complex, especially if it has countless
elements of equipment sited on the roof; we work with you to
ensure all the roof detailing is robust and accurate. Our technical
managers meet you and from your plans they will produce,
alongside our technical department, a specification package
ready for the tendering process.

Refurbishment Roof Projects

We will survey and fully inspect your current roof with the aid
of taking investigative core samples to produce an honest
condition report which will have examined all aspects of
the roof to identify the problematic areas and propose
the right option to suit the building and, if required, any
thermal upgrade.

Additionally we can use technical diagnostic testing which will
identify through thermographic imaging or moisture mapping
precisely where any water ingress is occurring.

Moisture Mapping

Non-destructive method of testing for trapped water within a flat
roof build up. A moisture gauge is used to pinpoint the presence
of dampness within the roof structure to depths of 200 mm with
the results delivered as a topographical map.

Thermographic Imaging

Non-destructive testing method that identifies defective roof areas
currently allowing water ingress, which could remain undetected
using standard inspection techniques. Thermographic surveys
are conducted using infra-red technology to identify thermal
irregularities, with recordings converted into a clear image of the
roof’s condition.

A typical specification and report package can include the
following:

n Building type and usage.
n Core sample analysis and technical diagnostics.
n Recommended course of action.
n Recommended waterproofing system.
n Full design service for Solar PV including roof surveys,
specifications and yield analysis.
n Detailed specifications.
n Green roof construction and design.
n Thermal analysis and calculations.
n Falls and drainage design.
n Wind uplift and restraint calculations.
n Detailing on all roof penetrations.
n Roof plans and tapered insulation layouts.
n Recommended approved contractors.

Excellent workmanship is crucial to the guarantee that
accompanies Bauder installations and so we have always
operated a policy to train and approve the individual installer, and
not simply the contracting roofing company. Each individual fixer
is required to display their approved operative badge at all times
showing photographic identification, name, badged operative
number and the systems that they are trained to install.

Bauder Site Technicians

Once your roofing works commence, our experienced team of
site technicians will monitor and inspect the workmanship at
key stages to ensure that the standards required to meet our
guarantee are fulfilled, as well as providing you with easy to
understand reports on how the works are progressing.
