Testing of roofing membranes
Roofing membranes are used in various areas of the construction industry to ensure the waterproofing of roofs and other structures. Here are some of the most common uses of roofing membranes:
Flat roofs: Roofing membranes are often used on flat roofs to protect them from the penetration of rainwater. The membranes are laid to create a waterproof barrier.
Green roofs: In green roofs, roofing membranes are used as a waterproofing layer under the vegetation. They retain water and prevent roots from penetrating the roof structure.
Structure waterproofing: Roofing membranes can also be used in other structures such as bridges, tunnels and parking decks to provide waterproofing and protection.
Material types: Roofing membranes can be made of various materials, including bitumen, plastic and elastomers such as PVC-P, EVA, FPO, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), EPDM (synthetic rubber) and more. Depending on the project requirements and local conditions, specific types of roofing membranes are selected to ensure optimal sealing and protection.
We provide comprehensive information on various test methods that are relevant for roofing membranes. Membranes play a crucial role in the safety and longevity of roof and building constructions, especially in green roofs. It is therefore important that these membranes undergo rigorous testing to ensure their quality and performance.
We perform the following tests on roofing membranes:
- Root tests (FLL test, DIN EN 13948, DIN CEN/TS 14416)
- Mechanical tests (e.g. DIN EN 12311-1, DIN EN 12311-2, DIN 61551, DIN EN 12730, DIN EN 12691, DIN EN 12310-1, DIN EN 12310-2)
- Resistance tests (e.g. DIN EN 14414, DIN EN 14415, DIN EN 1548, DIN EN 1296, DIN EN 1847, DIN EN 1297)
- Hail impact test (DIN EN 13583)
- Waterproofing (DIN EN 1928)
- Fire behavior (DIN EN ISO 11925-2, DIN EN 13501-1)
- Weld seam tests (DIN EN 12316-2, DIN EN 12317-2)
- Water vapor permeability (DIN EN 1931, DIN EN ISO 12572)
- Folding at low temperatures (DIN EN 495-5)
