090. Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the recommended uses for the FLW-800 layer?
The use of FLW-800 is recommended on roofs where conventional waterproofing is applied for instance on green roofs that are installed on garage decks. Due to its excellent vapour resistance properties and its high tensile strength qualities, it may also act as a vapour control layer on the warm side of any thermal insulation.
  • Does the root protection layer need to be protected in turn?
Yes, with protection fleece.
  • How can one be sure about the protection a product offers against roots growing through?
The FLL carries out tests after a 2 year, and a 4 year period for root penetration. Certificates are given only after these tests are completed.
