To be effective, a waterproof membrane must be suitable both for the proposed roof design and for the climatic conditions. There is a wide range of products now on the market; this Digest helps the designer to make the right choice. It describes built-up bituminous felts, single-ply membranes formed from polymeric and bituminous sheets; mastic asphalt and liquid-applied types, including those incorporating glass-fibre or polyester mats laid in a resin.

This report is the first in a series of publications on performance criteria for built-up roof membranes. The development of a performance approach to bituminous built-up roof membranes is described and preliminary performance criteria are recommended. A number of test methods have been developed in order to obtain data to evaluate roofing membranes against the recommended criteria. Twenty attributes that effect the performance of roof membranes under service conditions are identified and laboratory tests are described for measuring the engineering properties of the membrane that pertain to many of these attributes. A level of performance is recommended for nine of the identified performance attributes.
