Dear Mr/Mrs______
It is important to note that these suggestions are based on a visual inspections and no core samples were taken. The specification does not constitute a very thorough inspection of non roofing elements.
or
It is important to note that these suggestions are based on a visual inspections and core samples were taken to establish the roof build up.. The specification does not constitute a very thorough inspection of non roofing elements.
The specification is based on Envirotech EVA Single Ply membrane with its high tensile polyester reinforcement which gives it exceptional puncture; tear and wind uplift resistance, combined with the highest level of durability and longevity.
and/or
Envirotech EVA is a unique callendered EVA roofing membrane and its flexibility is achieved by the use of DuPont’s Elvaloy KEE (keystone ethylene ester) ethylene interpolymer. This is a solid phase modifier which is integral to the membrane. Elvaloy cannot migrate over time therefore the membrane maintains its flexibility, durability and reliable performance for many years. Heat welded seams form the strongest possible laps.
and/or
Envirotech EVA membrane offer excellent chemical resistance which has led their use on airports, industrial plants.
and/or
Envirotech is fully compatible with bitumen and Asphalt and has been used extensively on refurbishment and overlay projects
and/or
Envirotech EVA has been manufactured for almost 20 years in some of the toughest climates in the world. The membrane systems are resistant to heavy rain temperature extremes and have outstanding wind resistant properties
and/or
Envirotech EVA contains no volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) which can leach out of some traditional PVC’s making Envirotech EVA more environmentally friendly.
and/or
Seams are welded by hot air which is recognised as the strongest,fastest and most reliable seaming method in the flat roofing industry. The seam when fused together becomes stronger than the membrane itself.
We take this opportunity to enclose a copy of our “suggested maintenance schedule for Envirotech EVA single ply systems”.
Yours sincerely

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
ISSUE DATE xxxxxx
SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FOR
ENVIROTECH EVA WATERPROOFING SYSTEMS
GENERALLY, WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT A FLAT ROOF BE INSPECTED AT A MINIMUM FREQUENCY OF TWICE A YEAR – IDEALLY JUST BEFORE AND JUST AFTER WINTER.
INTERNALLY:
√Check visually for any signs of condensation, presence of moisture or leakage (e.g. wet patches, stains etc.)
EXTERNALLY:
√Check visually for any loosened flashings at perimeters and penetrations.
√Check exposed membrane for any signs of mechanical or chemical damage.
√Remove any unnecessary debris from the roof area (especially objects which could cause damage to the membrane).
√Remove any blockages to outlet gratings/drainage points/gutters (e.g. leaves, litter and sediment).
√Visually check exposed membrane laps for secure ness.
√Inspect rooflights and other penetrations for any damage (e.g. cracks to glazing, missing vent tops), which could result in leakage or condensation.
√Check exposed membrane for any stress damage (e.g. patent glazing, parapet walls etc).
√Keep records of your bi-annual inspections for future reference.
SPILLAGE:
√Envirotech EVA roofing membrane has excellent resistance to a wide range of chemical substances. It is, however, advisable to minimise spillage of even non hazardous chemicals in order to maintain the aesthetics of the roof, and avoid the accumulation of foreign objects/substances. In the event of spillage/contamination of any kind, please consult Interloc Technical Services for instructions/advice.
LOADING:
√Envirotech EVA is designed to withstand the levels of foot traffic associated with regular roof maintenance. If any point loads (such as ladders) are exerted on the roof, they should be spread using a flat protection board. Where loads may exceed these, please contact Interloc Technical Services for specific advice.
If it is found that remedial or maintenance work is thought necessary please contact the roofing contractor and/or Technical Manager for your area. Where the work has been warranted always check with Interloc Building Solutions that the proposed remedial work would not invalidate the warranty.
