Usage	Products
Deck	Concrete, laid to achieve a smooth deck finish, to the correct falls and be dry before commencing installation of the waterproofing layers. An alternative is to lay the concrete flat and achieve falls with tapered insulation.
Primer	Prime deck/screed with Axter's VERNIS ANTAC (see brochure) quick drying primer and allow to dry.
Vapour Control Layer	High humidity building - Fully bond to the concrete deck Axter's VAP AL aluminium cored SBS modified bitumen vapour control layer. Low humidity building - Fully bond to the concrete deck Axter's HYRANGER SPOT S3 V, an SBS modified bitumen auto-adhesive vapour control layer.
Thermal insulation	Fully adhere Axter's HYTHERM ADH CFC-free surfaced insulation. Thickness will be determined by "U"-value requirements. Axter can advise on required thickness and means of adhesion.
Under layer	Fully bond to the insulation Axter's HYRANGER SPOT ADH, an SBS modified bitumen auto-adhesive base layer. Care must be taken to ensure sealing of side and end laps by torching the top surface.
Top layer	Fully bond by torching to the top of the under layer Axter's ALPAFLORE PY AR self finished capping sheet.
Details	Both layers should be taken up the upstand and should finish at least 150 mm above finished soil level.
Rainwater outlets	Rainwater outlet flanges should be encapsulated between the under layer and the top layer. It is advisable to install a paving slab or come other inspection method above all outlets so that they can be checked and regularly cleaned of detritus.
Drainage board	Loose lay AXTER DRAIN closely butted to ensure adequate support for the soil.
Filter layer	Loose lay Axter's rot proof FILTER LAYER. If the membrane installer is not installing the growing medium and plants it is advised that the landscape gardener or horticultural specialist installs the AXTER DRAIN and FILTER LAYER.
Growing medium and plants	These will be designed and specified by the landscape gardener or horticultural specialist to meet the needs of the construction. The thickness of the growing medium will be dictated by the type of plants to be used but in general is likely to be > 30 cm. Axter can give advice upon request.
