Classification of membranes
Class 1 (low extensibility) <60% Elongation at break (AS1145, all parts) Type 2 specimen including reinforcement if part of system
Class 2 (medium extensibility) 60-299% Elongation at break (AS1145, all parts) Type 2 specimen including reinforcement if part of system
Class 3 (high extensibility) <300% Elongation at break (AS1145, all parts) Type 2 specimen including reinforcement if part of system
Note: The introduction of reinforcement may alter the classification of the membrane.
4.3.1 Leak control flanges
For a membrane to drainage connection, the following shall apply.
(a) The waterproofing membrane shall be bonded into the the leak control flange. The membrane shall be terminated horizontally or both horizontally and vertically.
(b) Leak control flanges shall be recessed into the substrate and not protrude above it. Leak control flanges shall be sealed to the riser and be secured to the substrate to prevent movement. The diameter of the leak control flange (DN) shall match the diameter of the riser pipe (DN). The transition from leak seal control flange to substrate shall have a fillet sealant applied.
(c) Where a shower tray is used, provision shall be made to drain the tile bed and provide a waterproof connection to the drain.
(d) The leak control flange shall not be installed in a location that interferes with bond breakers or wall floor junctions.
4.11 Junctions, transitions, and terminations
4.11.1 Types of junctions, transitions, and terminations
The following list specifies the minimum requirements for the treatment for various junctions.
Junctions may be either wall to floor or wall to wall. Either the floor or wall may be waterproof, water resistant or have no treatment specified.
The types of junctions that shall be used are as follows.
(a) Type 1 --- Where waterproof to waterproof surfaces meet, the waterproofing shall be continuous across the junctions and shall be deemed to be a waterproof junction.
(b) Type 2 --- Where waterproof to water-resistant surfaces meet, a bead of sealant shall be deemed to be a waterproof junction.
(c) Type 3 ---Where water-resistant or non-waterproof surfaces meet, a bead of sealant shall be deemed to be a water-resistant junction.
(d) Type 4 ---Where non-water-resistant to water-resistant surfaces meet water-resistant surfaces, a bead of sealant shall be deemed to be a water-resistant junction.
3.6 Fastening for substrate sheet linings
Sheet fastening spacings shall be compatible with the waterproofing system.
Sheet fastening spacings shall not compromise the waterproofing system.
Requirements for sheet fastening systems are as follows:
(a) Water resistant plasterboard sheets --- Systems for fixing water resistant plasterboard shall be compatible with the sheet to be fastened.
(b) Fibre cement sheets --- Screws for fixing fibre reinforced cement sheets shall be compatible with the sheet to be fastened.
