SOPREMA is an international manufacturer, offering innovative and cost effective waterproofing, insulation and soundproofing solutions and services both directly and through our network of distribution partners – enabling our customers to Build Better Buildings

WATERPROOFING PRODUCTS:

SOPREMA has over a century of experience manufacturing and developing highly efficient and reliable waterproofing systems in line with the ever-changing demands of the construction industry. One of the leading innovators in our field, we offer waterproofing solutions that range from bituminous waterproofing and liquid waterproofing to PVC waterproofing and TPO waterproofing (synthetic waterproofing). Our DUOFLEX Hot Melt structural waterproofing system is characterised by low lifecycle costs, self-healing properties and unrivalled waterproofing performance for inverted flat roof and podium deck applications.

BITUMINOUS WATERPROOFING

Protection against the elements. Our modified bitumen APP or SBS reinforced membranes have a high resistance and long service life.

SYNTHETIC WATERPROOFING

Synthetic TPO and PVC for innovative roofing structures, underground works, flat, inverted, cool and ballasted roofing applications.

LIQUID WATERPROOFING

A popular solution for roofing and sealing of roof details, terraces, balconies and parking garages.  Aesthetic finishing options available.

STRUCTURAL WATERPROOFING

A bituminous hot melt system, designed for longevity and low life cycle costs. Applications include inverted roofs, ballasted and green roofs etc.

INSULATION PRODUCTS:

SOPREMA is not only recognised as a global leader in waterproofing, but also in insulation. Insulating buildings with durable, efficient and high-quality products and systems becomes increasingly important to help the current housing stock become futureproof, making it more energy-efficient and sustainable, and to adapt it to the changing climate. SOPREMA manufactures both thermal and acoustic insulation systems. We offer a wide range of XPS roof insulation boards of varying thickness, as well as PIR insulation. In addition, we lead the way in natural insulation with PAVATEX, a range of wood fibre insulation products with excellent thermal and acoustic performance.

PIR INSULATION

A wide range of PIR Insulation Solutions for all types of construction.

SOPRA XPS INSULATION

An extensive range of XPS Insulation Boards in a variety of thickness and specification.

ACOUSTIC INSULATION

Our range of Acoustic Insulation provides excellent sound absorbing as well as thermal qualities.

PAVATEX WOOD FIBRE INSULATION

A wide range of wood fibre insulation products with excellent thermal and acoustic performance.

MINERAL INSULATION

A range of natural products avaialble as loose fill and additives.

SOLUTIONS FOR WATERPROOFING BASEMENTS:

From ready-to-use emulsion primers and cold applied bituminous primers like AQUADERE STICK and ELASTOCOL 600 to waterproofing membranes such as COLPHENE: SOPREMA provides high-quality and easy-to-apply solutions for waterproofing basement walls and floors. The COLPHENE waterproofing range offers premium performance and durability for any below-ground waterproofing project. The bitumen membranes in our range for waterproofing basements are renowned for their innovation. COLPHENE BSW H and COLPHENE BSW V membranes, for instance, feature a unique SOPREMA technology called DUO SELVEDGE that guarantees safer installation. COLPHENE®1500, in turn, is an anti-root waterproofing membrane with excellent mechanical resistance and ditto adherence to an exceptionally wide range of substrates.

GREEN ROOF SYSTEMS:

Extensive green roofs (or sedum roofs) and intensive green roofs offer plenty of advantages. Turning mineral surfaces into green oases and creating new ecosystems, they reduce the urban heat island effect, increase biodiversity, improve water retention and filtration, and have excellent soundproofing and thermal insulation qualities. We provide regular green roof solutions that can easily be installed on all SOPREMA roofing and waterproofing systems, as well as inverted green roof systems with standard insulation or eco insulation. SOPREMA’s solutions for green roofs are specially designed with light weight, low maintenance, and ease of design and installation in mind. 

SOLUTIONS FOR SOLAR ENERGY MANAGEMENT:

From photovoltaic mounting systems to coatings and primers for cool roofs: SOPREMA has you covered when it comes to solar energy management on flat roofs. Our cool roofing products include ALSAN REFLECTROOF PRIMER, a white pigmented, fast‐curing PMMA-based primer, and ALSAN REFLECTROOF COATING, a stable, abrasion- and UV-resistant, pigmented methyl methacrylate-based resin formulation that is fast-curing, solvent-free and helps increase the reflectivity of bitumen and asphalt substrates. For solar panel roofing or solar roofs, our SOPRASOLAR FIX attachment system (with its rail protectors, support clips and speed clips) helps create a solar roof system of rigid photovoltaic panels directly on top of a waterproofing membrane.

WATERPROOFING CIVIL ENGINEERING STRUCTURES:

SOPREMA’s synthetic waterproofing (FLAGON) and bituminous waterproofing (ANTIROCK) product lines are suited to any type of civil engineering project, no matter its size or complexity. When it comes to synthetic waterproofing, we offer both TPO and PVC membranes that are bound to meet your project requirements, such as high resistance to wearing, tearing and puncture. Looking for solutions for waterproofing road bridges, rail bridges, basins, parking decks, dams, tunnels or other civil engineering structures? SOPREMA has got you covered with a product offer ranging from engineering membranes to primers and sealers, and even installation equipment. In the latter category, we have the MACADEN, a fully automatic machine with two hot air nozzles for installing thermofusible bituminous rolls on bridges and carparks, and the MINI-MACADEN, a smaller, self-propelled and self-guided machine for laying bituminous membranes.

Soprema - The Key to Car Park Structural Protection and Surface Longevity

October 2024

Liquid waterproofing is a durable solution for car parks, but the longevity of finish depends on proper preparation. If the substrate is not assessed and prepared correctly, issues may arise later, with potential liabilities down the line. Here, we guide on pre and post-installation care to ensure a high-quality finish that meets warranty requirements.
What is liquid waterproofing?

Liquid waterproofing is a dual-component resin composed of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) that’s flame-free, cold-applied and versatile. In the Soprema range it’s known as ALSAN PMMA and is not solely for waterproofing purposes but also a trafficable surface sealer and finish coat.
When to use liquid waterproofing systems?

The ALSAN system is ideal for sites where flame-based methods are prohibited, weight limitations prevent additional layers or space for equipment is restricted. Its quick application allows areas to be used directly without requiring additional slabs or paving, making it suitable for the refurbishment of car parks that have to remain open.

A full liquid waterproofing system, like ALSAN 700 and ALSAN 870 RS, quartz sand and a finish coat, would generally only be required for top decks or rooftop areas and not necessarily on the intermediate decks. Unless there is a requirement to integrate car washing valet services, in which case it would prevent water damage.

It can also be specified depending on performance requirements, such as slip resistance, structural protection and aesthetics like line markings. It is often used alongside bituminous systems. We offer guidance on the system build-up for a surfacing project.
Avoiding car park surfacing mistakes

This is especially the case in car park resurfacing projects. A recent Soprema survey of a council-owned car park highlighted some issues on the top deck where the asphalt had rippled due to heat and heavy traffic.

The client suggested applying a new product over the existing surface, but this is not recommended. Any underlying damage must be addressed first. Soprema advised the removal of the damaged asphalt and repair of structural issues in a thorough report.
Test to achieve a consistent finish

With the right specification and scope of work in place, contractors must ensure surface consistency during application. Technical data sheets outline important parameters like substrate and ambient temperature. Ignoring these can result in improper curing – either too fast or too slow. To achieve a proper bond, pull-off bond tests must be performed on the deck before installation.

Additionally, the consumption rate for the application of the product also needs to be consistent as it varies depending on the substrate.
Carefully considered installation

Weather plays a crucial role in the application process too. In summer, contractors should work during cooler hours to avoid heat-related curing issues. Similarly, rainy conditions must be avoided for proper adhesion.

Flexibility in scheduling helps to ensure applications proceed smoothly. PMMA is easy to apply across a range of temperatures and humidity. And, with the benefit of no critical overcoating time, it can be applied systematically to suit the schedule with minimum downtime and rapid turnaround.
How to ensure longevity

Once the work is complete and a warranty awarded, ongoing care is essential. Car parks are high-traffic environments, and damage is inevitable. Regular inspections and maintenance help to identify issues early. Collaboration between the client, contractor and manufacturer is key to ensuring warranties remain valid and car park surfaces last for years to come.

Soprema - From EPS Waste to XPS Insulation: Our Process Explained

September 2024

At SOPREMA, we take great care to optimise performance while reducing environmental impact. Our systems approach and industrial excellence are key factors that have established us as one of the UK’s leaders in the insulation solutions. A prime example of this dedication is our XPS insulation range, which represents our unwavering commitment to sustainability without compromising on product excellence.
What is XPS Insulation?

SOPRAXPS insulation stands as a leading choice in high-performance extruded polystyrene insulation boards. Our XPS range is ideal for a range of insulation needs, including inverted and green roofs, zero fall roof designs (paired with SOPREMA zero fall waterproofing systems), floors, walls, and below-ground applications. We pride ourselves in offering a range that excels in ease of installation and exceptional compressive strength. Notably, the XPS 500 and XPS 700 boards offer impressive load-bearing capabilities, making them particularly suited for insulating rooftop car parks, parking garages, and other structures requiring high compressive performance.
Environmentally Friendly Production

Thousands of companies face challenges managing their EPS waste, whether from packaging for food and household appliances like television and washing machines, or from production processes. However, we offer an innovative and eco-friendly solution to tackle this issue.

Our XPS range involves the transformation of EPS waste into high-quality XPS insulation. The process starts by compacting the waste and transporting it to our factory in Tongeren, Belgium. There we rework the EPS material to become a basic raw material to produce XPS. To produce XPS a blowing agent is added to the polystyrene particles to create minuscule cells, ensuring the boards retain their thermal properties.

In addition to our sustainability commitment, our XPS products are designed for recyclability. This feature enables it to be reintegrated into the XPS production cycle at the end of its life, further demonstrating our dedication to sustainability and the circular economy.
Comprehensive Design and Specification Services

For our XPS products and beyond, we collaborate with design teams from the early stages to ensure they receive the optimal solution for their needs. Our comprehensive design and specification service, supported by our technical services department, includes detailed rainwater and U-value calculations and bespoke details, all aimed at delivering robust solutions with industry-leading warranties. This comprehensive support gives our clients complete peace of mind.

As a manufacturer of all system components, SOPREMA guarantees product compatibility, such as the integration of XPS insulation with basement or structural waterproofing systems. Partnering with us for both insulation and waterproofing offers the significant advantage of having a single point of warranty and contact, streamlining the process, and ensuring consistent quality and reliability.
