Characteristics of this technique
With this warm roof system VM ZINC® PLUS standing seam can be installed on mineral wool or PIR insulation without ventilating the underside of the VM ZINC® PLUS.
Penetrating fixing elements can be used with the help of plates, joists or special fixing clips supplied by Umicore.

 

Structure

A choice of:
  • Steel deck.
  • Timber deck.

This structure is successively covered by:
  • A vapour control layer with a high water vapour resistance installed with cold or hot glued joints.
  • Insulation: either mineral wool or some types of PIR. all insulation materials have to resist a compression strenght of minimum 50kPa (0.5kg/cm²), at a maximum 10% deformation.
    The insulation must have the necessary approvals for use in warm roof applications.
  • Between the VM ZINC® PLUS and the insulation, a breather membrane is fixed with an overlap of + 150 mm.

N.B.  The information relating to the installation of insulation and membranes is simply an indication.
The choice and installation of these products will be according to the recommendations of the insulation and membrane manufacturers.
