Areas of application
Roofs with a pitch from 3° to 45°.

VM ZINC®, the choices
Only "PLUS" type VM ZINC® with a specially protected underside:
Natural VM ZINC® PLUS, QUARTZ-ZINC® PLUS or ANTHRA-ZINC® PLUS: 0.7 mm thick.

Characteristics of this technique
This warm roof system allows the installation of VM ZINC® PLUS standing seam on cellular glass insulation without penetrating fastenings.
Structure
Cellular glass glued to its structure.
The cellular glass is then covered with a coating of bitumen
Galvanised steel plates, which the insulation manufacturer has to supply, are glued to the bitumen coated cellular glass. The plates must be positioned in collaboration with the VM ZINC® installer.
A reinforced heat-sealable membrane is then sealed by torching to the entire surface of the insulation without overlapping. This membrane also covers the plates.
In order to avoid any contact between the VM ZINC® PLUS and the bituminous membrane, a transparent polyethylene separation membrane is fixed with an overlap of + 150 mm.
The VM ZINC® PLUS panels are fixed to this structure with special clips screwed into the galvanised steel plates

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