Page 24: Membrane Termination
Depending on the method of installation and the type of termination bar used, the waterproofing membrane may first require mechanical restraint using the Icopal Fixation Bar. The termination bar is mechanically fastened to the wall at regular fixing centers. A suitable mastic sealant is applied behind the lip of the termination bar just prior to the final tightening of the fasteners. -

For confirmation of the appropriate size of washers and fasteners to use, refer to the Icopal Fastener product datasheet. Prior to application of the Monarplan® FM reinforced membrane, a wind uplift calculation must be carried out in accordance with EN 1991-1 to -4 or to the corresponding national regulations to determine the correct fixing centers specific to the project. - Page 26 Monarplan ® Installation manual End Laps 7.4.3 Fastening plan End laps should be a minimum of 50 mm and wherever possible If required, project-related individual calculations will be produced on request, as a service of the fastener manufacturer, including should be staggered to the adjacent sheet. installation instructions, material requirements and fastening plan.

Page 29: Adhered System
In adhered systems the Monarplan® membrane is attached to the substrate using an adhesive. The adjacent sheets of membrane are then welded. Icopal offers four types of adhesives depending on the membrane used, and the type of substrate. The Monarplan® GF Fleeceback membranes are fully adhered using Icopal Single-ply Fleeceback adhesive, 3958 to the pre- secured insulation board. - Page 30 The fleeceback membrane has a fleece-free 7.6.4 Icopal Fleeceback Adhesive Fully Bonded: Terokal TK 3958 selvedge in the overlap area, to enable the side lap to be hot-air welded.
