1.11 PRODUCTS

SopraGum Garden 4C, Soprasun 3.0 S, Sopradhere Primer, Sopradrain 10G, Aquamat Jardin, Microfab and Sopramastic

1.12 PRODUCTS DESCRIPTION

1.12.1 Soprasun 3.0 S is an APP modified thermo fusible waterproof membrane. 1.12.2 Sopragum Garden 4C is an APP modified thermo fusible waterproof membrane with a root

inhibitor incorporated. 1.12.3 Sopradhere is a quick dry APP membrane primer. 1.12.4 Sopramastic is a solvent based mastic containing SBS modified bitumen, fibres and mineral

fillers. 1.12.5 Sopradrain 10G is a high-strength drainage panel consisting of a polypropylene core with a

factory-laminated geo-textile for installation over waterproof membranes to provide drainage. 1.12.6 Aquamat Jardin is a capillary mat specially designed for green roof irrigation and water

retention in green roof assemblies. 1.12.7 Microfab is a non-chemical anti-root barrier.

1.13 SYSTEM

1.13.1 One layer of Sopragum Garden 4C cap sheet on one layer of Soprasun 3S base sheet. 1.13.2 In areas where the waterproofing membrane is exposed to UV apply one layer of Soprasun 4.0 F. 1.13.3 Sopradrain 10G is placed over waterproofing membrane and covered with Aquamat Jardin and

Microfab. 1.13.4 Growing medium is placed over system after reticulation is connected.

1.14 SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

1.14.1 GENERAL All surfaces should be sound, dry and free from but not limited to, dirt, dust, oil, grease, wax, tar, asphalt, mildew, mold, paint, foreign sealers, coatings, curing agents, loose particles, laitance or any other foreign matter that may impede with the bonding of the primer or membrane.

1.14.2 PRIMING The substrate is to be primed using Sopradhere primer at a rate of 4 to 6 m² per litre.

1.15 MEMBRANE APPLICATION

1.15.1 Horizontal Waterproofing – A layer of Soprasun 3.0S is to be fully bonded to the blinding slab with 100mm side laps and 150mm end laps fully sealed together with propane torch fusion. This is followed by a layer of Sopragum Garden 4C with 100mm side laps and 150mm end laps laid in a staggered pattern to the first layer and fully bonded with propane torch fusion to the base layer. This is the followed by a layer of Sopradrain 10G drainage cell, Aquamat Jardin, Microfab and selected soils.

1.15.2 Vertical Waterproofing – A layer of Soprasun 3.0S is to be fully bonded to the walls with 100mm side laps and 150mm end laps fully sealed together with propane torch fusion. This is followed by

a layer of Sopragum Garden 4C with 100mm side laps and 150mm end laps laid in a staggered pattern to the first layer and fully bonded with propane torch fusion to the base layer. This is the followed by a layer of Sopradrain 10G drainage cell and fibre cement board and selected soils.

The above installation technique is presented by Allduro a as a ‘general suggestion” for the installation of the Sopragum waterproof membrane system.

It remains the responsibility of the architect, engineer, builder and installation contractor to establish the correct method for any given application. The

installation and detailing of the membrane in its entirety should all be carried out in strict accordance with the manufacturers written instructions.
