Derbigum Single Layer Cold-Applied Bituminous Warm Roof When to Specify Derbigum single layer, cold applied, high performance warm roof systems offer the highest levels of thermal insulation, durability and waterproof integrity, combined with the optimum speed of installation, particularly suitable for large projects and fast-track construction.
Key Features Lifespan In the Derbigum BBA Certificate 86/1593C, the BBA say ‘All available evidence suggests that the product will have a life in excess of 30 years.’
Durability Derbigum has a high softening point ensuring stability of the membrane in the hottest weather, high tensile strength and excellent puncture resistance. Derbigum can be installed without any surfacing, regardless of the method of application due to the unique blend of polymers which make Derbigum resistant to UV degradation.
Derbigum Cap Sheet (Black or Mineral) Derbibond Cold Adhesive
Performance Derbigum is a range of dual-reinforced, APP (Atactic Polypropylene) modified bitumen, high performance roofing and waterproofing membranes with a life expectancy of 30-35 years according to independent assessment. Enhanced performance properties include low temperature flexibility, excellent fire ratings, stronger reinforcement and ease of application.

Derbigum Single Layer Cold-Applied Bituminous Warm Roof System Components Application 1. Prime the profiled metal deck with Alumasc Bitumen Primer and allow to fully dry.
n Derbigum Black or Mineral Cap Sheet is a high performance, APP modified bituminous membrane, with dual glass/polyester reinforcement, suitable for application in cold adhesive or by torch.
2. Apply the Nilperm vapour barrier, fully bonded in hot bitumen to the crowns of the deck, providing edge protection to the insulation board at all perimeters, openings and projections, with 100mm side laps and 150mm end laps.
n Hi-Ten Universal is a polyester based underlay, suitable for bonding in hot bitumen (or by torching where appropriate), for use at the details and upstands only.
3. Install Alumasc GTF Polyisocyanurate insulation (flat or tapered) fully bonded in hot bitumen, including upstands where appropriate. Boards must be tightly butt jointed and staggered. Suitable alternative insulations can be utilised where appropriate and compatible.
n Alumasc GTF is a CFC- and HCFC-free polyisocyanurate thermal insulation with plain glass-fibre tissue to both faces and is supplied in 600 by 1200mm boards and a range of thicknesses to suit the required thermal value.
4. Install Derbigum Black or Mineral Cap Sheet, fully bonded in Derbibond cold adhesive, applied evenly by squeegee or spray gun. For maximum speed of installation, use the specialist block bonding pattern.
n Nilperm is a polyester based high performance vapour barrier with an aluminium core, and is completely resistant to the passage of water vapour.
5. Note: Pre-cut the lower corner of the end of each roll at 45º where it will be overlapped by the end lap of the next roll. 6. Seal side laps (100mm) end laps (150mm) with a shoe burner torch. All laps must be pressure rolled with a 15kg long handled roller. A small (approx 5-10mm) continuous bead of compound must always visible at the joint. 7. All detail work to be executed in two layers, the first layer being Hi-Ten Universal, fully bonded in bitumen, followed by the cap sheet of Derbigum, fully bonded by torching. At all upstands install a 100 x 100mm reinforcement strip of Derbigum Black into the angle. The main sheet area must overlap onto the reinforcing strip by the full 100mm. Install a final flashing piece of Derbigum, fully bonded to the upstand and overlapping onto the main horizontal sheet area by a minimum of 100mm. NB: Derbigum waterproofing systems are exclusively installed by a nationwide network of Derbigum Approved Contractors.
n Alumasc Bitumen Primer is a low viscosity, solvent-based bitumen primer intended to maximise the adhesion of bituminous membranes to metal and porous substrates.
