Applications for polyester fleece in liquid waterproofing systems
Polyester fleece is used as Reinforcement within suitable liquid waterproofing systems used – from flat roofs and terraces to cracks, connections and complex detail areas.
Depending on the application, the requirements for Basis weight, roll width and mechanical load capacity.
In the following practical examples, we show how polyester fleece can be used for various sealing and renovation tasks.
Overview of application areas
Sealing a terrace without removing the tiles
Existing balcony and terrace areas can be converted under suitable conditions with Liquid waterproofing and polyester fleece to be renovated without completely removing the existing tile covering.
Renovating a flat roof without removing the old bitumen waterproofing
If the existing bituminous waterproofing is sound and suitable for the intended system construction, a renovation with Liquid plastic and polyester fleece as reinforcement It might be possible.
Sealing a flat roof under a terrace
On terraces above living spaces, damaged waterproofing can be locally exposed and repaired without dismantling the entire terrace and roof structure.
Seal detailed connections on the flat roof in a targeted manner
Inside and outside corners, parapet connections, roof vents, roof drains and penetrations are among the particularly critical detail areas.
With a perfectly tailored Polyester fleece as reinforcement These areas can be specifically integrated into a liquid waterproofing system.
Sealing balcony without removing tiles
Existing tiles can be retained if the substrate is suitable. This practical example demonstrates renovation using liquid plastic and polyester fleece as reinforcement.
Flat roof sealing with liquid plastic and polyester fleece
Step-by-step construction of a full-surface liquid waterproofing system with polyester fleece as reinforcement – from substrate preparation to complete embedding of the fleece.
Polyester fleece 110 g/m² – typical areas of application
The 110 g/m² polyester fleece It is suitable as a versatile reinforcement for classic sealing and renovation work.
Typical applications include:
- Flat roof sealing and flat roof renovation
- Renovation of existing bituminous waterproofing
- Cracks and minor repair areas
- Inside and outside corners
- Parapet and wall connections
- Roof vents and penetrations
- Roof drains and drainage points
- larger repair areas and extensive reinforcements
Depending on the detail area, roll widths of 15, 25, 35 and 50 cm available.
Polyester fleece 120 g/m² – reinforced version
The Polyester fleece 120 g/m² is a reinforced version for applications where a higher material reserve within the reinforcement is desired.
The material consists of 99% % polyester. micro-perforated and additionally sewn with polyester threads.
Typical areas of application include:
- Balconies and terraces
- accessible or more heavily used roof surfaces
- larger connection and detail areas
- Surfaces with higher mechanical stress
- Full-surface reinforcements with increased material reserve
The mechanical properties were independently tested. According to the SGS test report, the material achieves a tensile strength of up to... 12.6 kN/m according to DIN EN ISO 10319.
Selection aid
110 g/m²
Versatile reinforcement for classic flat roof waterproofing, repairs, cracks and detail areas.
120 g/m² polyester fleece
Reinforced version for heavily used areas, terraces and more demanding detail areas.
Which option is suitable depends on the Sealing system, substrate, area of application and mechanical stress away.
The processing is carried out in accordance with the specifications of the respective system manufacturer.
Practical advice
Not every sealing situation is the same.
Besides the basis weight of the polyester fleece, other factors also play a role. Roll width, detailed geometry, substrate and liquid sealing system used an important role.
