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