1. Roll out the Sopravap’r over a clean, dry
deck. 2. Once the membrane is in place, while
holding the membrane tight, peel off the
silicone release film by pulling diagonally. 3. Install subsequent rolls of membrane in
the same way, taking care to overlap the
longitudinal joints by 3 inches.
4. On steel decks, at the end of a roll, install
a metal plate (6 in. by 42 in.) to support the
membrane end lap between the metal flutes
ensuring a complete end lap seal. End laps
must overlap by 6 inches. 5. The membrane’s superior strength offers
extra protection from heavy foot traffic during
installation. The slip-resistant surface allows
for safe movement across the roof. 6. Once installation is complete, the
Sopravap’r membrane temporarily protects
against inclement weather. If not immediately
covered, follow extra steps per 3a and 3b in
the instructions above.
