Preparation | |
Horizontal work | ParaFlex Universal Primer and Kiln-Dried Sand.ParaFlex PM Primer and Kiln-Dried Sand.Red Primer.EshaPrimer.BlackOut Roofing Surface Conditioner.Manufacturer guidanceSuitable for many roof types including flat, sloping roof and complex roof shapes such as cupolas and barrel roofs. |
Skirtings and vertical work | Guidance for specification option: With the correct primers, ParaFlex FD adheres to almost any substrate and the attachments are made permanently waterproof. Substrates to which the system is to be applied must be properly prepared as adhesion to substrates will depend on the condition and cleanliness of the substrate. Substrates must be visibly dry, sound and free from loose materials or contamination (eg moss, algae). High pressure sand-blasting or water-jetting may be used to remove loose or flaking materials, but the substrate must be visibly dry before application of the system. Damaged areas of the substrate (e.g. broken fibre-cement sheets, blistered bitumen, roofing felt) must be removed, replaced or repaired. Deck surfaces should be free from sharp projections, such as protruding fixing bolts and concrete nibs. Gutters and outlets should be checked to ensure that they are, and remain, clear of all debris. The substrate should be primed with ParaFlex Primer prior to application of the system at a coverage rate of 300 g/m² to 500 g/m². Kiln-dried quartz sand, with a grain size of 0.3–0.8 mm, is broadcast into the wet primer. Ensure generous amounts of primer are applied to all vertical surfaces. Manufacturer guidanceSuitable for junctions and roof openings such as ventilation and pipe openings, supports and structures, lighting domes and chimneys, balcony doors and windows, and for a variety of applications which are very costly to seal by conventional sealing methods or cannot be sealed at all. |
