Reasons to select Cefil membranes
1. UV RESISTANCE
Cefil membranes are integrated with UV resistors at source during the
manufacturing process. Exposed membranes therefore provide superior UV
degradation resistance.
2. FIRE RESISTANCE
Cefil membranes are fire resistant and self-extinguishing. In addition, they
cannot be ignited by flying sparks. Cefil membranes have passed some of the most
stringent European regulations including BS476: part 3. The use of Cefil
membranes is therefore unrestricted under the current building regulations.
3. WATERTIGHT
Cefil membranes, when correctly heat welded, homogenise together to become one
at molecular level. Therefore the join is at least as strong as the membrane
itself with no weak points. The membrane has been rigorously tested for moisture
resistance, behaviour under hydrostatic pressure and impact strength, and
classed as leakproof. Under the European standard peel test, the Cefil membrane
broke outside of the seam without any sign of weld failure.
4. FLEXIBILITY
Cefil membranes have all been produced to comply with the needs of today's
buildings with regard to structural and building movement. They are
dimensionally stable and will repeatedly accommodate normal structural movement
without fatigue. Low temperature flexibility has been tested down to -35 degrees
C.
5. SUSTAINABILITY
Cefil membranes have been rigorously tested by many European testing
establishments and have a proven successful history of providing long term
waterproofing to a variety of building designs. The product life expectancy is
documented as ‘in excess of 25 years’ and laboratory accelerated weathering
tests have shown this to be even greater. Cefil materials are installed
Worldwide in a variety of climatic extremes and show superior performance and
durability - a crucial element of environmental sustainability.
6. APPROVED INSTALLER NETWORK
Contractors have to be trained and approved to install Cefil roof systems. Our
policy is to supply Licensed Contractors who have met specific standards and
criteria. Our mission for every project is to provide our clients with a list of
registered contractors who have the experience and knowledge to deliver a
successful installation to compliment our high quality materials. The Cefil Roof
Assured warranties are only issued after a project has been inspected and passed
by one of our field technicians or an appointed agent.
7. GUARANTEE
Extensive roof assured warranty schemes are available that a client can trust
for up to 20 years. For most projects, these cover materials, workmanship,
design, product liability and consequential loss, complete with independent
insurance backing.
8. QUALITY
Cefil membranes are produced strictly in accordance with ISO9001 quality
standards. The thermoplastic extrusion process is computerised to ensure
consistent quality and all raw materials randomly tested prior to integration
and development.
