Use in Service History
Casali Dermabit membrane system has been used in New Zealand for more than 10 years
Product Criteria
Design requirements
Casali Dermabit/Dermafil Roof and Deck Membrane Systems are installed as multi-layer systems with either a mineral chip finish or a sand finished layer with a UV protective paint. Decks are to be protected with a pedestal system. The membranes are cold glued/heat welded to the substrate with heat welded joints.
When the Casali Dermabit/Dermafil Roof and Deck Membrane Systems are used for specifically designed buildings as detailed within Paragraph 2.2 of this Appraisal, only the bond of the membranes to the substrate and the durability of the membranes are within the scope of this Appraisal. All other aspects of the building, including weathertightness detailing of junctions, need to be specifically designed and are outside the scope of this Appraisal.
The effective control of internal moisture must be considered at the design stage due to the impermeability of the membranes. Refer to BRANZ publication Good Practice Guide - MembraneRoofing.
Casali Dermabit/Dermafil Roof and Deck Membrane Systems are for use on roofs, gutters, parapets and decks where an impervious waterproof membrane is required to prevent damage to building elements and adjoining areas. The products can be used on new or existing buildings.
Allco Waterproofing Solutions Ltd should be consulted as to the suitability of any existing substrates prior to using Casali Dermabit/Dermafil Roof and Deck Membrane Systems.
