EVALASTIC® waterproofing membranes have a smooth surface to ensure fast drainage of rainwater and washing away of pollutants. If maintenance walkways are necessary on non-used roofs without ballast, they can be carried out by installing EVALASTIC® maintenance walkway tiles (800 x 600 x 9 mm). The textured surface provides a strong grip, even on sloped and wet areas. Moreover, the maintenance walkway tiles also provide for load distribution. Shifting of the maintenance walkway tiles even with increased wind loads is prevented by hot air welding the tiles to the EVALASTIC® waterproofing membranes.

Application:
The maintenance walkway tiles are welded to clean and dry roof areas covered with fleece-backed EVALASTIC® waterproofing membranes by hot air only (e. g. hot-air welding machine). It is recommended to install the tiles with a joint spacing of approx. 50 mm. On older and soiled roof surfaces the welding areas must be cleaned thoroughly with alwitra membrane cleaner. No additional fixing measures required.
