7 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).
Manufacturer | Product Name | Description | Application Method | Suitability |
---|---|---|---|---|
Polyglass USA, Inc. | Polyfresko G SA | APP membrane | Self-adhering | Walkways, accessory surfaces |
Polyglass USA, Inc. | Polyfresko G FR | APP membrane (fire resistant) | Heat-welding | Walkways, accessory surfaces |
Polyglass USA, Inc. | Polyfresko G | APP membrane | Heat-welding, hot asphalt, cold processing | Walkways, accessory surfaces |

Polyglass USA, Inc. | Polyflex G HP | APP membrane | Heat-welding, hot asphalt, cold processing | Walkways, accessory surfaces |
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.
