Usage

  • Vapour control layer (VCL) is applied over most common substrates. Substrates should be smooth, dry and strong enough to support foot traffic.
  • If the substrate surface is rough (e.g. row concrete or sloped topping), install a levelling layer beneath Sarnavap®-500 E or use foam-backed Sarnavap®-3000 M.
  • Sarnavap®-500 E vapour control layer is used for flat roofs (only for PVC roof systems)
 

Advantages

  • Ease and speed of installation.
  • Stays flexible at low temperatures.
  • Non-decaying.
  • Constant vapour diffusion resistance.
  • Recyclable.

Application steps

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

Substrates should be smooth, dry and strong enough to support foot traffic.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

In case of rough substrate surface (e.g. raw concrete or sloped topping) install a levelling layer beneath Sarnavap®-500 E.

APPLICATION

  1. Unroll the Sarnavap®-500 E over the structural deck and temporarily weight in position.
  2. Unroll the next roll of Sarnavap®-500 E positioning so as to ensure a minimum 80 mm overlap.
  3. Fold back the top sheet of Sarnavap®-500 E and apply Sarnavap® Tape F (jointing tape) to the bottom sheet.
  4. Peel off release tape and carefully fold back the top sheet of Sarnavap®-500 E ensuring no wrinkles or creases are formed.
  5. Apply pressure to the top sheet of Sarnavap®-500 E with a welding roller ensuring good adhesion to the Sarnavap® Tape F. On metal decks the lap should be fully supported in order to apply the correct bonding pressure.
  6. At transverse joints an airtight bond is achieved by trimming the edge of the upper sheet at 45°.
  7. At perimeters and penetrations seal the Sarnavap®-500 E by turning up and sealing to a suitable smooth surfaced abutment with Sarnatape®-20. For sealing flashing airtight, porous substrates must first be treated with Primer-130.

Installation works shall be performed only by Sika instructed contractors for roofing.

Installation of some ancillary products, e.g. contact tapes and Primer is limited to temperatures above +5 °C. Please refer to the respective Product Data Sheets.
Special measures may be compulsory for installation below +5 °C ambient temperature due to safety requirements in accordance with national regulations.
