Thermofol PVC System

Our Thermofol PVC system includes polymers to create a flexible waterproofing membrane that is heat welded.

When to specify...

The Bauder Thermofol System is suited for lightweight and fast track construction projects for new build, refurbishment, and overlay scenarios. PVC Thermofol membranes of ≥1.5mm have been tested for root barrier penetration (EN 13948/FLL) making them suitable for extensive green roofs. The system can also be specified with the BauderSOLAR F and BauderSOLAR G LIGHT PV arrays.

Bauder Thermofol System achieves a CCPI mark which recognises that any claims made about it have been independently assessed across 11 clauses, providing greater clarity by offering improved product information. This gives specifiers confidence in the knowledge that they will have unambiguous information when deciding which of our systems is best for their new build or refurbishment project.

Enhance with:
■ Extensive green roofs ■ Solar PV ■ Biosolar PV
