Bauder Total Roof System PLUS
When to specify...
Bauder Total Roof System PLUS (BTRS PLUS) is suitable for a variety of applications on both new build and refurbishment projects. It can be used in warm, cold, and inverted roof scenarios. There is also the option of using a root resistant cap sheet, making this waterproofing system ideal for green roof and blue roof situations, too.
Our BTRS PLUS system holds fire classification BROOF(t4) for compliance with building regulations under TS 1187 test method 4 for external fire exposure to roofs, stated permutations of build-ups verified by the BBA are listed on our certification. BTRS PLUS is deemed ‘unrestricted’ and suitable for use on any part of a roof.
Key features
■□ Robust and tough.
■□ Capping sheets with glass/polyester composite reinforcement.

Torch-free detailing methods
Our torch-free detail design specifically delivers secure safe application techniques in the vicinity of combustible construction materials located on, or connected to, the roof. This includes timber substrates or upstands; abutments to cladding, roof tiles, slates or thatch; or even debris such as dry leaf material that is at risk of ignition. The application methods meet NFRC Guidance Document 'Safe2Torch'.
