ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS

Our Products in PracticeWe are committed to reducing the impact our manufacturing has on the environment as well as how our products can support the environment through the reductionofenergyusage,recyclingandreusing.

InsulationThe BauderPIR insulation has extremely high thermal efficiency and is CFC and HCFC free. It has zeroODPandaGlobalWarmingPotentialof less than5KgCO2 - Eq/Kg. As part of our PIR insulation manufacturingprocess, offcuts and waste are readily recycled and used in theproductionofhandcleansersanddeckingmaterials.

Recycled ContentThereinforcementfleecewithinourbitumenmembranesismade from250g/m2 recycled spunbond polyester for hightensilestrength.

Recycling and Reusing Bitumen MembranesBitumen is the primary raw material used in the production of bituminous waterproofing membranes. It is a by-productofoilrefiningandisessentiallythewastematerialof this petrochemical process and therefore has little additionaldetrimentaleffectontheenvironment.

We utilise a shredder to recycle any offcuts, and waste bituminousmembranesbackintoproduction.Whenroofsare replaced, the bituminous layers can be incinerated for heatingandelectricityproduction.

TECHNICAL CREDENTIALS

CE MarkingAll membranes and insulations carry a CE mark as required bytheConstructionProductsRegulations.

Root Resistance for Green RoofsThe Bauder Total and Bauderflex Green Roof Systemscan each utilise special cap sheets that have been tested and certified under FLL (ForschungsgesellschaftLandschaftsentwicklung Landschaftsbau) guidelines,which is the benchmark test for root resistance in Europe andhasbeenforatleastthelast25years.

Product and Installation TechnologyTEC ProductsThe TEC range of products feature self-adhesive compound on the underside, protected by a peel-off release film. These are the products used in our torch-free detailing, and some also feature heavily in all areas of the roof, particularly in the form of air and vapour control layers over combustible deck substrates, and underlayers duetotheincreasedspeedofapplication.

DUO ProductsOur patented ‘DUO’ range of products was developed to make installation faster, safer, simpler and more secure thanpreviouslypossible.Thetechnologyfeaturescolourcoded side laps.Beneath the red lap is an80mmwidestripofglassfibrefleecetopreventimmediateadhesionand allows the installer to create a secure welded lap byusingflameorhotair, forguaranteedwaterproofingintegrity. These products feature significantly in mostBauderbituminousmembranesystems.

THERM Stripes TechnologyThis family of products feature a low melting point bitumen adhesive, in a striped pattern, which is activated withaminimalamountofheat.

The technology is used in the BTRS system on the uppermost surface of the DS1 DUO air and vapour control layertoprovidetheadhesiveforinstallingtheinsulation.It also features in the BauderTHERM ‘Stripes’ system on the underside of the SL500 cap sheet to enable a quickly installed,partiallybondedwaterproofing.

This refurbishment project needed a waterproofingsolution that would last in excess of 35 years and an insulation upgrade that wouldmeet current standards.Due to the tight timescale and its complexity, it was key that communication was maintained between all of those involved to ensure the project would be completed in timetoahighstandard.

Bauder and the client programmed in advance the disconnection of the plant to ensure any plant disconnectedwouldnotimpactthebusiness.Deadlinesfor re-connecting plant were set and this was monitored daily by the Marshall Construction site manager to ensure all deadlinesweremet. A strategywas put in place toensure operatives installing the system within the 1,000m² of limited head room were not under unduepressure.Thisincludedrestbreaksallowingthebodytostretchandrecovertoavoidanystraininginjuries.

APPLIED PRODUCTS

"Having explored numerous factors including: local market presence and knowledge, ability to produce sufficient material quantities, turnover and financial standing, single-point guarantee, likely serviceable lifespan of the proposed roof system, technical assistance available (including design development), quality monitoring during installation and BBA Certification, we selected Bauder’s Total Roof System for the project.

Throughout the process, the Bauder team were proactive, extremely knowledgeable and engaged; and assisted from conception to completion. The teams’ expertise allowed us to deliver the project within budget and on programme. Support provided during the design and procurement stages was invaluable and included budgetary advice, preparation of standard and bespoke details, product sheets, specifications and input to programme in relation to material deliveries, order times and the likes.

Since completing this project, we have again engaged the Bauder team on two further sizeable flat roof replacement projects and have no hesitation in recommending their services and products to our clients and other consultants.”

BAUDERTHERM ‘STRIPES’ SL500BauderTHERM ‘Stripes’ consists of a single layer membrane with two layers provided at all upstands and details to provide extra reinforcement at these more vulnerable areas and a longer life expectancy for theroof.

The underside of the Bauder SL500 membrane features a highly adhesive thermally activated SBS elastomeric bitumen resin, set in a ‘stripes’ bonding pattern at pre-determinedintervalsacrossthemembranesurface.

This unique bonding pattern ensures an accurate 50%bond to the existingwaterproofing beneath. The areabetweenthestripesiscoatedwithaspecialmicafinishthat remains unbonded, allowing room for any future expansion of moisture vapour that may be present in theoverlaidsystem.Thistechnologyhelpstoreducethelikelihood of interlayer blistering after installation, which iscommonlyassociatedwithtraditionaloverlays.

When a roof covering is reaching the end of its serviceable life, but is still essentially waterproof, overlaying the existing system is a sensible way of considerably enhancing the life expectancy of the roof by at least 15 years; providing that the thermal properties of the roof aresatisfactory.

BauderTHERM ‘Stripes’ can be used over existing asphalt or reinforced bitumen membrane systems; roofs with a traditionalchippingfinishmayalsobesuitableiftheexistingfinish can either be adequately removed by a suitablemechanical scarifying machine, or overlaid with a recovery board.Refurbishmentof roofscontaining insulationarealso suitable, providing they do not suffer from moisture contaminationordegradationproblems.

It ispossible tooverlayexistingwaterproofingwhereasmall amount of entrapped moisture is present, as the stripes finish to the underside of the SL500 cap sheetallows any vapour pressure to dissipate in a controlled fashion, reducing the possibility of surface blistering afterinstallation.

TORCH-FREE DETAILING FOR ALL BITUMEN MEMBRANE SYSTEMSSafe Installation of Bitumen Membrane SystemsIn order to reduce risk when installing torch-applied systems, consideration must be given to avoiding the use ofagas-torchinthevicinityofcombustiblematerials.

Our torch-free detailing is integral within all Bauder bituminous waterproofing solutions, and is designedspecifically to deliver secure and safe application wherenecessary.

A completely torch-free installation option for an entire roofisdeliveredthroughourAirtechsystem.Seepage70.

The foundation for our torch-free detailing is the group ofhotairwelded,self-adhesive,SBSmodifiedbitumenmembranes for the air and vapour control layers, underlayersandcapsheets.Thesemembranesandtheirapplication techniques conform to the recommendations given in the ‘Safe2Torch’ guidance published July 2017 by theNationalFederationofRoofingContractors(NFRC).

Bauder was the first flat roof waterproofingmanufacturer to promote and pledge support to the NFRC’s Safe2Torch campaign, recognising our role as an industry leading supplier to endorse safety best practice through our products and to promote to our approved contractors the safest installation methods possible in everyflatroofprojectweareinvolvedin.

TORCH-FREE DETAILING FOR ALL BITUMEN MEMBRANE SYSTEMSIndustry Best PracticeThe key to industry best practice for the application of bituminousmembranesistheresponsibleidentificationof combustible construction materials on the roof and specifyingthecorrectcombinationofdetailingandfieldareamembranes.Inadditionspecificinstallationmethodsneed to follow the BS 8217:2005 code of practice and NFRCguidelines.

Principally, this installation best practice will impact on refurbishment roof projects, though responsibilities also reside with all parties involved in the design and construction of a new build project under the Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulation 2015 toensure that hazardous details are fully considered or designedout. In some instances, this could impact onsequencing of construction works to ensure that the roof materials are installed prior to other combustible elementsbeingconstructed. Torch-Free Roof ZonesThe roof areas which have details formed with, or are adjacent to, combustible construction materials require anexclusionzonetobeidentifiedinaminimum900mmradiusfromthematerial.Thissanctiondemandsspecificmembranes, particular design, and accurate torch-free installationtechniques.

Our torch-free detailing design utilises our self-adhesive membranes for all three built-up waterproofing layerscomprising the air and vapour control layer, underlayer andcapsheet.Alllapsforthesemembranesaresealedusinghotairwelding.

In a warm roof construction, the insulation is bonded to the air and vapour control layer with Bauder PU Insulation Adhesive.

A completely torch-free installation option is available for an entire roof project with our Bauder Airtech System incorporating the KSO SN cap sheet in natural slate orbrownorKSO-PSNincharcoalgrey.

Safe to Torch Roof ZonesIn certain situations, it is perfectly safe to use torch-bonded bitumen membranes and roof areas involving non-combustiblematerials.

There are two options for safe to torch application and these are dependent on the specific detail and theconstruction materials used:

1. The roof area does not have any combustible materials within its construction and is safe to accept torch-applied membranes,suchasaconcretedeck.

or

2. Full encapsulation of the exposed combustible detail with self-adhesive underlayer, installed using hot air welding so that the detail is now risk-free and a torch-bondedcapsheetissubsequentlysafetoinstall.
