Specification data - Reinforced bitumen membrane warm roof covering systems
System performance | Guidance for specification option: All Force system assemblies comply with British and European standards and have been approved by the British Board of Agrément under certificate number 15/5222 PS3. Force is classified as unrestricted by the requirements of The Building Regulations Approved Document B: Fire Safety and certified Broof(t4) in accordance with BS EN 13501-5:2005 fire classification of construction products and building elements. Force systems have also proven themselves to meet the performance standards set out in Building Bulletin 93 Acoustic Design of Schools when combined with Hytherm MF non combustible insulation. |
Preparation | |
Horizontal work | Vernis SA Primer.Guidance for specification option: Fast-drying canister primer ideal for use with flame free, self-adhesive reinforced bitumen waterproofing systems. Vernis SA primer provides improved simple and effective adhesion on self-adhesive reinforced bitumen membrane waterproofing systems. |
Air and vapour control layer | |
Type | VAP ALU ADH.Guidance for specification option: VAP-ALU ADH is an air and vapour control layer (AVCL) with sand on the surface and a self adhesive undersurface. An AVCL low permeability membrane used as part of a system to control the movement of air, water vapour and heat leakage from within the building. Can also be used as base or underlayer in a multi-layer waterproofing system. |
Insulation | |
Type | Hytherm ADH.Guidance for specification option: A durable, lightweight PIR insulation for warm roofs (flat board or tapered). Hytherm ADH PIR insulation is a high performance board used in warm roofs under fully adhered reinforced bituminous membranes, mastic asphalt and approved single ply waterproofing systems. Please refer to the datasheet for more details. |
Fixing | Hyrastik EVO. |

Top layer | |
Type | Force ADH Flame Free.Guidance for specification option: FORCE ADH Flame Free is a stabilised polyester reinforced SBS elastomeric modified bitumen waterproofing membrane. Capsheet in FORCE ADH flame free warm roof, adhered (cold bond) multilayer bitumen membrane roof waterproofing system. |
Attachment | ADH Adhesive.Guidance for specification option: ADH Adhesive is a solvent-free adhesive providing a safe, effective and green method of bonding fleece-backed PVC (Ecoflex/Ecoline ADH) and bitumen (Force 4000 S ADH) membranes to insulation boards. Please refer to the datasheet for full product details. |
Detail work | |
Skirtings and upstands | Underlayer: Stickflex ADH. Capsheet: Force 4000 Flame Free. |
Execution | Guidance for specification option: Installation of Force waterproofing systems is carried out by accredited Axtershield Installers whose operatives have successfully attended Axter’s RBM upskilling course. Force systems can be installed in a single or multi layer application on all deck types, and can be fully or partially bonded in a flame free, hot air welded, cold bonded or torch applied application on flat and pitched roof specifications. All system components are specified and installed to ensure compatibility and single source responsibility, and detailing is completed in full compliance with Axter recommendations and the NFRC Safe2Torch guidance. |
System completion | Interim and final roof inspections by AXTER Quality Assurance (QA) personnel. Final roof inspections by AXTER Quality Assurance (QA) personnel are mandatory for guarantee application. |
Certification | BBA approved, accepted by all third party building warranty providers such as LABC and NHBC. Fully compliant with The Building Regulations and all relevant British and harmonized European standards. |
