At all end laps of AWAPLAN SA FR, cut and remove the lower corner of the underlying sheet and the upper corner of the
overlapping sheet to provide a tapered transition at the T-joints. Cut on a diagonal angle 5-1/2 in long from the end of the roll
to the outside edge. The width of the cut should be 4 in. - the same width as the side lap. (See illustration below).
6” END LAP APPLY TAM-PRO Q-15 ELASTOMERIC
FLASHING CEMENT TO THE FULL 6”
ENDLAP WIDTH INCLUDING THE
ENDLAP CUT AREA OF THE
UNDERLAYING SHEET.
5 - 1/2”
4” SIDE LAP
4” SIDE LAP
Apply a 1/8 in. thick layer of TAM-PRO Q-15 Elastomeric Flashing Cement in the 6 in. wide lap area including the end lap cut
area of the underlying sheet. Remove the release fi lm and press the top sheet into the mastic. Be sure to apply TAM-PRO Q-15
Elastomeric Flashing Cement in the cut side lap area at each of the T-joints as the succeeding courses are applied. All end laps
and T-joints adhered using TAM-PRO Q-15 Elastomeric Flashing Cement should be lightly rolled to ensure complete contact of
the lap. Care should be taken to avoid too much pressure that might result in displacing the adhesive. All exposed adhesive in
excess of 1/4 in. width should be covered with granules.
An alternative installation method involves unrolling the entire roll and aligning it. Apply the down slope half of the sheet fi rst
by removing the split release fi lm from the entire length of the roll on the down slope side and pressing the membrane into
place. Then remove the release fi lm from the upslope half of the roll and press it into place. Roll the entire sheet with a roller
of adequate size and weight to ensure solid contact with the base sheet. When applying the down slope half of subsequent rolls,
simultaneously remove the clear selvedge release liner and the down slope half of the release fi lm. End laps should be completed
in the manner described above.
FASTENING:
For inclines of ¾ in. per ft. or greater, the AWAPLAN SA FR membrane shall be applied parallel (i.e. strap) to the slope of the
roof and fastened at 6 in. intervals in all end laps. All fastening shall be done through fl at metal caps or with nails with attached
metal caps of a minimum 1 in. diameter.
INSPECTION OF LAPS:
Once the AWAPLAN SA FR membrane has had a chance to bond, check all laps and joints for full adhesion. If the membrane can
be lifted at any area it is not properly adhered. A seam probing tool can be used to check for small voids at the laps. If necessary,
use a hand-held hot air welding tool and seam roller to heat the lap and press into place to ensure proper adherence at the lap.
