Total Waterproofing Rolls (10m² / roll)

16rolls

Bitumen Primer Drums (18L / drum)

3 drums

Total Gross Area with Overlaps

153.2 m²

Vertical Upstand Surface Area

13.2 m²

Flat Surface Area vs. Upstand Area Breakdown

Flat Slab Surface Area
120 m²(90%)
Vertical Parapet Upstands
13.2 m²(10%)

Ensure mandatory 4-inch (10cm) side laps and 6-inch (15cm) end laps for 100% watertight torch-on applications.

All engineering calculations, structural estimates, and electrical sizing metrics are provided for preliminary estimation only. Always ensure compliance with relevant statutory building codes and occupational safety standards, verified by a certified professional engineer before practical implementation.

Calculation Methodology

Total Area = Flat Roof Area + Vertical Perimeter Upstands (0.3m height). Gross Membrane Area = Total Area * 1.15 Overlap Factor. Rolls = Ceil(Gross Area / 10m²).

Frequently Asked Questions

Due to 10cm side overlaps and 15cm end overlaps, one 10m² roll covers approximately 8.7 to 9.0 net square meters of surface.
