Reliable, Durable and Long-Lasting Roof Solutions
Ballasted roof systems are special roof systems that are stabilized with gravel, concrete slabs or similar weight elements applied on the membrane, without requiring mechanical fixing or adhesion. These systems, which are especially preferred in wide-span flat roofs, provide reliable solutions to the needs of modern buildings by offering high strength and long-lasting performance.
By combining advanced PVC and TPO membrane technologies with ballasted systems, Interflex Plastik offers both superior waterproofing and safe use for many years.
What is a Ballasted Roof System?
In ballasted roof systems, the waterproofing membrane is applied freely to the carrier surface and the system is fixed with gravel or concrete slabs placed on it. This method provides ease of application, especially on large-surface roofs, and also helps protect the membrane from external factors.
The ballast layer not only stabilizes the system; It also provides additional protection for the membrane against UV rays, temperature changes and mechanical effects.
Advantages of Ballasted Roof Systems
High Wind Resistance
Thanks to the ballast layer applied on the system, high resistance to strong wind loads is provided. This feature offers a significant advantage, especially in large industrial buildings and open areas.
Superior Waterproofing
Systems created with Interflex PVC and TPO membranes provide reliable waterproofing performance for many years.
Protection Against Mechanical Impact
Gravel or concrete slabs protect the membrane from external factors, reducing the risk of mechanical damage and extending the life of the system.
Adaptation to Thermal Movements
Thanks to the free-laying principle, building movements and thermal expansions do not create extra stress on the system.
Low Maintenance Cost
Thanks to its durable structure, the need for maintenance remains at a minimum level and operating costs are reduced.
Long Lasting Use
Membranes protected against UV rays and environmental effects offer longer service life than standard systems.
