Bauder Thermoplan represents the next generation of synthetic single ply roofing system, offering enhanced performance characteristics, while also being friendly to the environment.
Cost Effective
- Thermoplan T’s application techniques offer fast track installation on every project it is specified for, creating real value by reducing site labour time. Additionally the rapid installation programme often permits early fit-out below, keeping work to programme and reducing the time to completion and hand-over.
- The lightweight system allows for other building materials and structural steel to be reduced at the building’s conceptual stage.
- Thermoplan T can be installed with bitumen based systems, Thermoplan T is ideal for refurbishment as an overlay system.
Durable
- Thermoplan T uses hot air welding for the seams to provide a strong and reliable bond that is well recognised in the single ply roofing industry. The fused overlapping membrane sheets provide a homogenous layer and total waterproofing security.
- With high tensile strength in excess of 1200N, the closed fibre polyester cross-weave reinforces the membrane and makes it resistant to tears and punctures.
- The membrane has no inherent memory and therefore will not shrink.
- The FPO membrane is chemically resistant.
- Our use of high quality polymers and constituents in the formula ensures the membrane remains flexible at -45 degrees centigrade.
Flame-Free Installation
- With Thermoplan T, the seams are thermally welded with hot air replacing traditional torching methods, bringing its installation in line with the outlook for safety conscious practice.
Resistance To The Natural Elements
- The integrated woven lattice reinforcements within the membrane, together with the high performance fastening system and strong homogenous welded seams combine to eliminate the risk of wind uplift failure.
- The reflective pearl white finish of the membrane reduces solar gain, minimising thermal and structural movement in the construction.
- The FPO formulation ensures full resistance to micro-organism attack which is vital to a membrane’s success in ballasted or green roof situations.
Fire Resistance
- To provide maximum fire resistance, our formulation includes a high performance halogen-free fire retardant which means the membrane carries a FAB fire rating.
- Our choice of fire retardant reduces the volume of product required allowing for a greater percentage of active polymer in the formulation.
Environmentally Friendly
- Thermoplan T contains no heavy metals, halogens or plasticisers.
- Thermoplan T has one of the lowest production embodied energy values.
- The reflectivity of Thermoplan T reduces solar gain and contributes to energy conservation within the building.
Practical Sustainability
- Thermoplan T is 100% recyclable and can be reprocessed at our manufacturing plant.
- Putting an extensive green roof on top of the Thermoplan T system provides an area of natural habitat for plants and small wildlife.
- An extensive green roof will protect the waterproofing membrane from climatic extremes, ultra-violet light and mechanical damage, significantly increasing the life expectancy of the Thermoplan T system.
- With an extensive green roof over the Thermoplan T system all the additional environmental benefits are gained including reduction in rain water run-off which humidifies the air helping to reduce the ‘heat island’ effect.
- An extensive green roof, ballasted or paved finish will considerably reduce sound from both inside and outside the building.
