must be provided so that the maximum span of the substrate as specified by the substrate manufacturer is met and all sheet edges are fully supported.

Concrete9.2 Concrete substrates must be to a specific engineering design meeting the requirements of the NZBC, such as concrete construction to NZS 3101.

Existing Construction9.3 A thorough inspection of the substrate must be made to ensure it is in fit condition and does not contain any materials that will adversely affect the performance of the membrane.9.4 Repairs must be undertaken, where applicable, to ensure the substrate is sound, the joints are sealed, and the flashings are sound. Plywood substrates must be checked for screw fixings, and if necessary refixed as for new plywood.

DurabilityServiceable Life10.1 Shelterbit Roofing Membranes are expected to have a serviceable life of at least 15 years, provided they are designed, used, installed and maintained in accordance with this Appraisal and the Technical Literature.

Chemical Resistance10.2 Industrial air pollutants and windborne salt deposits should not significantly affect the durability of the membranes. However, the long term properties of the material may be affected by contact with petroleum-based products such as oils, greases and solvents.

Maintenance11.1 The membrane roof system, including any areas with a UV coating applied, must be regularly (at least annually) checked for damage, rubbish, debris or coating breakdown. Damage, such as small punctures and tears must be repaired and coatings reapplied as recommended by Ardex New Zealand Ltd.11.2 Special care must be taken when inspecting the membrane roof systems to ensure the continuing prevention of moisture ingress, and repairs must be undertaken where required.11.3 Drainage outlets must be maintained to operate effectively.

Outbreak of Fire12.1 Separation or protection must be provided to the membranes and plywood substrate from heat sources such as flues and chimneys.12.2 NZBC Acceptable Solution C/AS1 Part 9 and Verification Method C/VM1 provide methods for separation and protection of combustible materials from heat sources.

Spread of Fire13.1 The membranes may be used on roofs of buildings intended for all Purpose Groups, including SC and SD, subject to the requirements of NZBC Acceptable Solution C/AS1 Part 7, Paragraph 7.11.1.13.2 The membranes may be used for cladding fire-rated roof construction, providing the roof construction complies with the requirements of NZBC Acceptable Solution C/AS1 Part 7.

External Moisture14.1 Roofs must be designed and constructed to shed precipitated moisture. They must also take account of snowfalls in snow prone areas. A means of meeting code compliance with NZBC Clause E2.3.1 is given by the Technical Literature which aligns with details in NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1.14.2 When installed in accordance with this Appraisal and the Technical Literature, Shelterbit Roofing Membranes will prevent the penetration of water and will therefore meet code compliance with Clause E2.3.2. The membranes are impervious to water and will give a weathertight roof.14.3 Roof falls must be built into the substrate and not created with mortar screeds applied over the membrane.14.4 The minimum fall to roofs is 1 in 30 and gutters are 1 in 60. All falls must slope to an outlet. Inadequate falls will allow moisture to collect and increase the risk of deterioration of the membrane.14.5 Allowance for deflection and settlement of the substrate must be made in the design of the roof to ensure falls are maintained and no ponding of water can occur.14.6 Shelterbit Roofing Membranes are impermeable; therefore a means of dissipating construction moisture must be provided in the building design and construction to meet code compliance with Clause E2.3.6.14.7 Drainage flanges must be used for any outlet and must be fitted with a grate or cage to reduce potential sources of blockages. An overflow must be provided where the roof does not drain to an external gutter or spouting. 14.8 Penetrations and upstands of the membranes must be raised above the level of any possible flooding caused by the blockage of roof drainage.14.9 The design of details not covered by the Technical Literature is subject to specific weathertightness design and is outside the scope of this Appraisal.

Water Supplies15.1 Shelterbit Roofing Membranes have not been assessed for roofs used for the collection of potable water.

Installation Information

Installation Skill Level Requirement16.1 Installation of the membranes must be completed by Ardex New Zealand Ltd Trained Installers. 16.2 Installation of substrates must be completed by tradespersons with an understanding of roof construction, in accordance with instructions given within the Ardex New Zealand Ltd Technical Literature and this Appraisal.

Preparation of Substrates17.1 Substrates must be dry, clean and stable before installation commences. Surfaces must be smooth and free from nibs, sharp edges, dust, dirt or other materials such as oil, grease or concrete formwork release agents. All surface defects must be filled to achieve an even and uniform surface.17.2 The relative humidity of concrete substrates must be 75% or less before membrane application. The concrete can be checked for dryness by using a hygrometer, as set out in BRANZ Bulletin No. 424. 17.3 The moisture content of the plywood and timber substructure must be a maximum of 20% and the plywood sheets must be dry at time of membrane application. This will generally require plywood sheets to be covered until just before the membrane is laid, to prevent rain wetting.

4

17.4 All substrates must be primed with Shelterbit Primer and left to dry (1 hour) before the membrane is installed.

Membrane Installation18.1 The membranes must be installed in accordance with the Technical Literature. 18.2 All roof and wall junctions must have a 20 mm x 20 mm wooden fillet installed at the junction. Concrete substrate junctions must have a 20 mm x 20 mm cement mortar fillet installed. All external edges must be chamfered to a 5 mm radius to remove sharp edges.18.3 The membrane must be unrolled without tension onto the prepared substrate and allowed to ‘relax’ for at least 30 minutes prior to installation.18.4 The membrane is installed from the lowest point and each layer is installed across the roof fall allowing a 100 mm side overlap and a 200 mm end overlap. The cap sheet layer must be offset against the base sheet layer.

Inspections19.1 Critical areas of inspection for waterproofing systems are:

Construction of substrates, including crack control and installation of bond breakers and movement control joints.Moisture content of the substrate prior to the application of the membrane.Acceptance of the substrate by the membrane installer prior to application of the membrane.Installation of the membrane to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Health and Safety20.1 Safe use and handling procedures for Shelterbit Roofing Membranes are provided in the Technical Literature. The products must be used in conjunction with the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets for each membrane.

Basis of Appraisal The following is a summary of the technical investigations carried out:

Tests21.1 Testing of Phoenix Star and Phoenix Star Mineral (Shelterbit Membranes) have been undertaken by ICITE, which formed the basis of the technical investigations and evaluation undertaken by the British Board of Agrément (BBA) for issue of the current BBA Certificate covering these products. This testing covered: tensile strength, elongation at break, tear strength, dimensional stability, low temperature flexibility, heat resistance, unrolling at low temperatures, sliding resistance, watertightness, static indentation, dynamic indentation, fatigue cycling, peel resistance, softening point, penetration, air pressure of joints, tensile strength of joints and peel strength of joints. Some testing covered heat aged, UV aged and water soaked samples as well as controls. 21.2 The Shelterbit Duo has been tested for tensile, elongation, tear resistance, adhesion of granules, dimensional stability, flow resistance and pliability at low temperature and is a CE marked product.

The above test methods and results have been reviewed by BRANZ and found to be satisfactory.

Other Investigations22.1 A durability opinion has been provided by BRANZ technical experts.22.2 Installation of the membranes has been assessed by BRANZ for practicability of installation and found to be satisfactory.22.3 The Technical Literature has been examined by BRANZ and found to be satisfactory.

Quality23.1 The manufacture of the membranes and primer has not been examined by BRANZ, but details regarding the quality and composition of the materials used were obtained by BRANZ and found to be satisfactory. An examination of the manufacturing practice and quality control procedures employed in the manufacture of the membranes is subject to the ongoing validity of the current BBA Certificate. 23.2 The quality of the supply of products to the New Zealand market is the responsibility of Ardex New Zealand Ltd. 23.3 Quality on site is the responsibility of the Ardex New Zealand Ltd Trained Installers. 23.4 Designers are responsible for the building design, and building contractors are responsible for the quality of construction of substrate systems in accordance with the instructions of Ardex New Zealand Ltd and this Appraisal.23.5 Building owners are responsible for the maintenance of the membrane systems in accordance with the instructions of Ardex New Zealand Ltd and this Appraisal.

17.4 All substrates must be primed with Shelterbit Primer and left to dry (1 hour) before the membrane is installed.

Membrane Installation18.1 The membranes must be installed in accordance with the Technical Literature. 18.2 All roof and wall junctions must have a 20 mm x 20 mm wooden fillet installed at the junction. Concrete substrate junctions must have a 20 mm x 20 mm cement mortar fillet installed. All external edges must be chamfered to a 5 mm radius to remove sharp edges.18.3 The membrane must be unrolled without tension onto the prepared substrate and allowed to ‘relax’ for at least 30 minutes prior to installation.18.4 The membrane is installed from the lowest point and each layer is installed across the roof fall allowing a 100 mm side overlap and a 200 mm end overlap. The cap sheet layer must be offset against the base sheet layer.

Inspections19.1 Critical areas of inspection for waterproofing systems are:

Construction of substrates, including crack control and installation of bond breakers and movement control joints.Moisture content of the substrate prior to the application of the membrane.Acceptance of the substrate by the membrane installer prior to application of the membrane.Installation of the membrane to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Health and Safety20.1 Safe use and handling procedures for Shelterbit Roofing Membranes are provided in the Technical Literature. The products must be used in conjunction with the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets for each membrane.
