1 Air and Vapour Control

The RCABC does not list air or vapour barriers in the Accepted Materials section of this Manual, as their performance is not guaranteed by the RoofStar Guarantee Program. For more about air and vapour barriers and specific requirements for the RoofStar Guarantee Program, select any of the Low Slope Membrane Roof Systems. This cross-reference is listed for information only.

6 Liquid Membrane Flashing

Note to Reader
Liquid membrane flashing systems are manufactured from various bituminous and non-bituminous materials. These manufactured proprietary flashing systems are specifically designed for use to flash unusual roof penetration shapes or roof details that are difficult to flash with traditional membranes.
Liquid membrane flashings are available as one or two part component systems that require reinforcement scrims for strength. To ensure quality installation, manufacturers’ proprietary application instructions must be strictly followed.
2-Part Component Systems
For use with fabric reinforcement only (refer to product Technical Data Sheet for proprietary reinforcement materials). These systems may be used on or within 200 mm (8") of the water plane.

Single-component Systems
(NOTE: these flashing systems have limited application within the RoofStar Guarantee Program, and may be used on upstand angles, support junctions and joints that are typically more than 200 mm (8") above water plane. These materials may also be used as a coating on galvanized flashings and other strip-in flashings requiring a coating (see RoofStar Guarantee Standards for SBS-modified Bitumen Roof Assemblies, 12.4 Strip-in Flashings)

7 Filter Mats & Ballast

Click on the heading above to find filter mat and ballast requirements when designing or constructing a Protected or Modified Protected Membrane Roof.

8 Accessories

An Accessory is a material that joins Primary or Secondary Materials together, or is connected to/with a Primary or Secondary material, but does not by its nature (apart from its installation) directly affect the waterproofing or water-shedding capabilities of the system.

Accessories are not currently part of the Accepted Material program, but are listed here for reference to specifiers, designers and installers.

These membranes are not Accepted for use in the primary waterproofing system, but may be use as for an ancillary function - for example, as protective membranes (a 'sacrificial' cap membrane).

Coatings are not a waterproofing product, but rather enhance solar reflectivity or other properties of a membrane. The inclusion of these materials, although acceptable under the RoofStar Guarantee Program, is not part of the Guarantee.
