Flat roof decks: rely on SOPREMA for waterproofing products and design advice

A flat roofing system’s purpose is straightforward: to ensure the long-term integrity of the building asset. Yet the route to that objective can be quite complex. There are various design considerations, the appropriate roof type and materials must be selected, and the different components installed, which all has to be done with great care. Moreover, to prevent costly issues arising, regular roof maintenance is required. Our waterproofing experts are happy to help with your flat roof deck, from giving advice on the appropriate design and build-up to providing technical support and on-site visits.

Flat roof covering types

The type of roof covering that is required for your project – single-ply, structural waterproofing, bitumen or liquid – greatly depends on the circumstances. In the case of a refurbishment scenario involving residential property that is still inhabited, a cold works-oriented solution might be preferred over hot works or torch-on applications. At SOPREMA, we make sure to specify a system that meets your specific needs and requirements.

In addition, we can help you make sure that the system you are installing complies with BROOF(T4) and other relevant standards that have to be met. We have an extensive range of BROOF(T4) compliant systems, counting over 200 variants. Our specifications cover every aspect of the project requirements, resulting in a bespoke project solution every time. Our Technical Sales Managers carry out a detailed survey to determine the condition of the existing roof. A project-specific specification will be produced, which will cover all the latest standards, ensuring that the roofing system best suits your needs.

Flat roof decks & hybrid systems

Are you interested in our hybrid waterproofing systems? Under the same warranty, we can provide, for instance, a warm roof bituminous system alongside ALSAN PMMA for the details – we manufacture both at SOPREMA, ensuring all can be done in the same installation while covered under one umbrella.

Premium products for flat roofs

In addition, we can help you speed up the concrete curing that is often a part of the surface preparation works. SOPRADVANCE CONCRETE COMPOUND, for example, is a fast‐curing concrete conditioning product you can use on damp concrete substrates. It enables the application of primers and other SOPREMA waterproofing systems to be installed as little as seven days after pouring the concrete, by creating an effective sealer between the concrete substrate and waterproofing system.

Our experts are always at your service

Should there be a change to the design at any point in your project, or if you need technical support, whether that is a site visit or product specifications: we are always on hand.
