Product Description

Scope of use

The podium system is applied on flat to moderately sloped roofs.

It is suitable in new or existing commercial buildings. It can be laid on a range of substrates but mainly concrete due to the weight loading of the system. 

Due to its durability and seamless nature, Neuchâtel Mastic Asphalt can be laid to minimal falls including Zero and has been applied on many New Zealand buildings. Neuchâtel Mastic Asphalt is laid at 20 mm thickness and is monolithic, therefore it cannot be penetrated by roots and is suitable for potable water.

• Suitable for direct foot traffic · 
• A suitable substrate external pavers, tiles or concrete for pedestrian traffic, and for pavers or tiles on paver supports, for use on terraces, balconies or podium.   
• A car park trafficable surface.           
• Part of a green roof system.         
• Part of an insulated roof system.

The Neuchâtel Mastic Asphalt Roof Waterproofing and Paving System must be installed using the traditional techniques for mastic asphalt described in the relevant Clauses of BS 8218: 1998, and in accordance with the Neuchâtel Technical Manual and Details .

Timber substrate structures may be designed in accordance with NZS3604 as a heavy roof, provided the mastic asphalt membrane does not exceed 22 mm. All plywood sheets must be CCA treated to H3.2. The plywood must be a minimum of 17mm thickness complying with AS/NZS 2269.0

Concrete and other specifically designed substrates must be designed in accordance with verification method B1/VM1 using the structural design actions in AS/NZS1170.

A separation layer is required between the substrate and mastic asphalt topping.

The substrate must be dry, with no sharp projections.

All work must be carried out by Neuchâtel Waterproofing Ltd approved applicators.

Maintenance requirements

• Note the general condition of the waterproofing finishes and report any damaged areas immediately.

• Check waterproofing to roof light kerbs.

• Check roof light domes for signs of damage or deflection.

• Check perimeter details and up stands, ensuring that the metal capping, flashings, edge trims and mortar pointing to chase details are secure.

• Check flashing's to expansion joints and that the all components are secure.

• Check the up stand flashing's to plant support legs/up stands.

• Check the up stands and flashing's to pipe penetrations.
