Covering the top of the tank’s roof<br />
• For the finishing to apply on the roof of the tank, use sheets of 1 m<br />
in height (corresponding to that of the K-<strong>FLEX</strong> <strong>IC</strong> <strong>CLAD</strong> sheets)<br />
placed to cover the whole surface.<br />
• With careful planning (it is advisable to prepare a diagram to<br />
calcolate the correct dimensions of the project) the elastomeric<br />
sheets can be placed in a functional manner, to allow for gradual<br />
overlaying folded towards the external parts and to help the flow of<br />
water towards the walls of the tank.<br />
• Place the K-<strong>FLEX</strong> elastomeric sheets starting from the external layer<br />
(a) towards the center.The rounded edges of the external sections<br />
should follow the curvature of the tank.<br />
• Place the sheets after having cleaned the surface of the tank of traces<br />
of dirt, oil and grease, so as not to jeopardize adhesion.<br />
• The surface where the sheets come into contact with the tank<br />
should be glued with K 420 adhesive (b).<br />
Glue together the overlapping edges of the adjacent sheets (c).<br />
In the joining edges of the sections, avoid tension and distortions,<br />
to allow for correct adhesion and to add to its aesthetic value.<br />
• To avoid detachments and infiltrations the insulation of the walls of<br />
the tank must be carefully sealed to the perimetrical joint.<br />
The insulation of the roof must overlap the perimetrical insulation (d).<br />
