Torch-Free/ Safe to Torch Zone Detailing:

Bauder was the first manufacturer to pledge its support to the Safe2Torch initiative, introduced by the National Federation of Roof Contractors (NRFC) in July 2017. The torch-free detailing designs specifically deliver secure and safe installations in the vicinity of combustible construction materials located on, or connected to, the roof such as timber substrates or upstands; abutments to cladding, roof tiles, slates or thatch; or debris such as dry leaf material that is at risk from ignition.

Torch-free detailing can be integrated into all bituminous waterproofing solutions to give versatile, safe installation techniques for all roof types, site conditions and budgets.

The waterproofing flashing should be turned up by at least 150 mm around features such as rooflights, parapets and service pipes passing through the roof, detail work to upstands, edge details, flashings, etc. The membrane should not be taken up in one piece. Consult Bauder for further information.

 

Features and benefits of Torch-Free/ Safe to Torch Zone Detailing:

  • Complete range of self-adhesive bitumen membranes.
  • Installation follows industry best practice and conforms to BS 8217: 2005.
  • 4.2 mm-thick elastomeric KSO SN, KSO ALP SN and KSO-PSN cap sheets.
  • Hot air welding of membrane laps in the torch-free zone.
  • Complies with Building Regulations Approved Document B – Fire Safety.
  • Manufactured to BS EN 13707: 2004 Reinforced Bitumen Membrane Sheets.
  • Reduces risk of fire caused by installation.
  • Practical solution so that installation programme times are achievable.
  • Robust waterproofing without compromising system longevity.
