Triflex - living LIFE-OUTSIDE
The living LIFE-OUTSIDE concept was introduced to allow the walkway, balcony and terrace environment to become an extension of the internal
living environment.
Colour and design are important to us in our homes and gardens, but are often overlooked when considering walkways, balconies and terraces.
Triflex systems allow the design of open living and access areas to be tailored through our range of finish options and by allowing possibilities for
other coverings.

Rendered visualsWhen looking at a typical dark, dirty or plain surface, it can be difficult to imagine the transformation which can be achieved.
For this reason, Triflex offers a visualisation service for larger projects where digital photographs are taken and expertly rendered to show the result
which can be achieved.
Our clients have found this service an invaluable tool in design and colour selection, and in obtaining approval from tenants.

Triflex - Comparison vs Traditional Materials
Triflex – Cold, liquid applied technology
Whether you are a specifier, architect, property owner, housing association, main contractor or waterproofing and surfacing contractor, Triflex cold,
liquid applied technology offers both insurance and Health and Safety benefits in combination with an unsurpassed track record.
The systems have further significant benefits over traditional materials including:
Aesthetic choice and finish
Tailored design options
Exceptionally rapid cure and installation times
Maximum waterproofing and structural protection
Enhanced durability
Health and safety – both during installation and in service use
Ease of cleaning and maintenance
Our seamless liquid applied systems avoid the need for joints, seams and fixings, eliminating the weak spots and providing the client with a totally
homogenous, waterproofing and surfacing solution to protect their investment. Our range of systems allow accommodation of virtually all
walkway, balcony and terrace constructions, build ups and designs.
Don’t gamble on hot works – don’t gamble on inferior materials – choose Triflex
Not only do these techniques involve a significant Health and Safety risk to operatives, and persons in the vicinity, they pose a real risk of fire to the
structure. The use of hot works can result in materials smouldering and subsequently igniting even after the flame has been extinguished. Many
insurers now require that a fire watch is maintained for a minimum of 1 hour after the cessation of hot works.
Fire can break out on most construction sites, and there are approximately 11 construction fires every day. These fires not only lead to potential
injuries and fatalities, but can be extremely disruptive and costly to the owners and clients.
Issues with hot works are largely to blame for the exponential increase in waterproofing and surfacing contractors’ insurance premiums in recent
years. Many contractors have been forced out of business, or have decided that the future lies in cold, liquid applied materials based on proven
technology.
Cold application – don’t gamble on hot worksAlthough Triflex has been manufacturing liquid applied waterproofing and surfacing
membranes for almost 30 years they can still be considered new technology when
compared with traditional and sheet applied materials.
Traditional and sheet materials often involve:Gas torches
Gas burners for bitumen boilers
Hot air guns
Hot gas guns
The temperatures reached by gas torches can exceed 1,000˚c, and even hot air
welding can exceed 600˚c.
A history in liquid appliedwaterproofing, surfacingand protection

The Triflex philosophy
Our philosophy is to only offer long term
solutions in whichever area of
waterproofing, surfacing and protection
we are involved in. Our many years of
experience have taught us to never
underestimate the demands which can be
placed upon a waterproofing and
surfacing system, we therefore only offer
high technology, heavy duty systems,
based on time proven technology.

System information:
The Triflex BFS cold liquid applied, waterproofing and surfacing system was developed to provide
the optimum combination of aesthetic and functional requirements for walkways, balconies and
terraces which are not over occupied premises, e.g. cantilevered structures. With three system
variants and a wide choice of colours and textures the system can be fully tailored to meet the
requirements of the project.
The system is suitable for both new build and refurbishment projects and the majority of deck
constructions. The systems' exceptionally rapid cure times, totally cold application and substrate
compatibility (including asphalt) make it the first choice for areas where access is restricted and time
on site needs to be minimised.
The heavy duty system uses our unique reinforced waterproofing technology locally to provide the
optimum security for the project.

Triflex BFS System BenefitsFast curing, thick layer, waterproofing and surfacing system for walkways, balconies and terraces - 3 finish options
:: Available with three finish options to suit both functional and aesthetic requirements:
Variant 1 - Heavy duty: Recommended for general access, heavily trafficked walkways, balconies and terraces
Variant 2 - Moderate duty: Recommended for restricted access walkways, balconies and terraces
Variant 3 - Light duty: Recommended for private access walkways, balconies and terraces
:: The wide choice of variants and further choice of finish options allows a unique combination to suit all needs
:: All elements of the system are cold applied, avoiding the risks and insurance costs associated with hot works
:: Avoidance of hot works is becoming increasingly important as many clients and building insurers are specifying “100% cold”works for their properties
:: Adjacent flammable materials and / or structures require no further special protection during the installation of the system
:: Time on site for the contractor is minimised
:: Works on site can commence immediately with no waiting time for the heating of materials
:: The risk of injury to operatives from the use of hot materials is eliminated
:: With its exceptionally rapid cure times, areas are rapidly waterproofed and time on site is reduced
:: Access restrictions are minimised as the system achieves full mechanical properties exceptionally quickly and all layers of thesystem can be trafficked shortly after installation
:: With exceptionally short 'rain proof' times, weather windows can be maximised to ensure the highest levels of productivity
:: The contractor can leave site, confident that areas completed are totally secure
:: The Triflex BFS system features various heavy duty build ups providing both protection to the waterproofing and a choice oftextures and finish options
:: The waterproofing and surfacing layers are designed to be tough and durable to withstand the specific demands of the walkway,balcony and terrace environment
:: The Variant 1: Heavy duty option is designed for high levels of traffic, with either a crystal quartz, coloured quartz or basaltwearing course. The aggregate is tightly bound within the resin matrix and provides both the wearing layer and long termresistance to damage
:: Unlike the more commonly available resins, Triflex resins achieve excellent inter layer adhesion, do not suffer inter layerdelamination and have excellent resistance to the day to day forces imposed on walkway, balcony and terrace systems
:: With a finished thickness in excess of 4mm for the Variant 1 system, the Triflex BFS has exceptional durability, helps mask deckimperfections and provides a more aesthetically pleasing, easier to maintain system
:: The system thickness allows profiled substrates such as brushed concrete and crimped asphalt to be overlaid without the originalprofile reflecting through
:: The Triflex BFS can be used for both refurbishment and new build projects
:: The unique properties of the Triflex BFS allow virtually all common balcony, walkway and terrace substrates to be overlaid,including asphalt
:: The ability to overlay the existing construction decreases disruption to the occupier, and reduces the risk of water ingress duringthe works
:: Without the need to strip the existing coverings, Health and Safety is improved, time on site is minimised, the requirement fortemporary waterproofing avoided, and overall costs reduced
:: Works can be carried out all year round and in the majority of climatic conditions, allowing the project to be completed whenrequired, not when dictated by the temperature
:: The seamless Triflex BFS avoids potential areas of weakness - one weak joint, seam or fixing can compromise the integrity of thewhole area
:: The Triflex BFS system allows the area to be completed section by section with seamless continuity and no increased risk of wateringress during the installation
:: Structural details can be accommodated without the requirement for mechanical fixings and terminations which can be prone tofailure

Triflex BFS System BenefitsFast curing, thick layer, waterproofing and surfacing system for walkways, balconies and terraces - 3 finish options
:: Being fully bonded, underflow of water directly beneath the membrane is prevented
:: The inter layer adhesion of the system is generally greater than the cohesive strength of the substrate, virtually eliminating therisk of debonding or delamination
:: Meaning that all details and identified areas of weakness can be safely incorporated

System information:
The Triflex BTS-P cold liquid applied, fully reinforced waterproofing and surfacing system was
developed to provide the optimum combination of aesthetic and functional requirements for
walkways, balconies and terraces over occupied premises. With three system variants and a wide
choice of colours and textures the system can be fully tailored to meet the requirements of the
project.
The system is suitable for both new build and refurbishment projects and the majority of deck
constructions. The systems' exceptionally rapid cure times, totally cold application and substrate
compatibility (including asphalt) make it the first choice for areas where access is restricted and time
on site needs to be minimised.
The reinforced waterproofing membrane based on Triflex ProTerra® is ETA certified and is a
benchmark for the liquid applied industry.

Triflex BTS-P System BenefitsFast curing, thick layer, waterproofing and surfacing system for walkways, balconies and terraces overoccupied premises - ETA certified fully reinforced waterproofing membrane / 3 finish options
:: Available with three finish options to suit both functional and aesthetic requirements:
Variant 1 - Heavy duty: Recommended for general access, heavily trafficked walkways, balconies and terraces
Variant 2 - Moderate duty: Recommended for restricted access walkways, balconies and terraces
Variant 3 - Light duty: Recommended for private access walkways, balconies and terraces
:: The wide choice of variants and further choice of finish options allows a unique combination to suit all needs
:: All elements of the system are cold applied, avoiding the risks and insurance costs associated with hot works
:: Avoidance of hot works is becoming increasingly important as many clients and building insurers are specifying “100% cold”works for their properties
:: Adjacent flammable materials and / or structures require no further special protection during the installation of the system
:: Time on site for the contractor is minimised
:: Works on site can commence immediately with no waiting time for the heating of materials
:: The risk of injury to operatives from the use of hot materials is eliminated
:: With its exceptionally rapid cure times, areas are rapidly waterproofed and time on site is reduced
:: Access restrictions are minimised as the system achieves full mechanical properties exceptionally quickly and all layers of thesystem can be trafficked shortly after installation
:: With exceptionally short 'rain proof' times, weather windows can be maximised to ensure the highest levels of productivity
:: The contractor can leave site, confident that areas completed are totally secure
:: Meaning that all details and potential areas of weakness can be safely incorporated within the same homogenous waterproofingand surfacing membrane
:: Through incorporation of the Triflex reinforcement with our unique resin technology, the Triflex ProTerra® ETA certified membranewithin the Triflex BTS-P system provides long term waterproofing security for the structure through its exceptional long termresistance to regular and unforeseen movement and flexural fatigue
:: Because the system is applied as a liquid it can be shaped to suit any form, allowing even the most complex of areas to betreated in the minimum time
:: The thixotropic liquid applied Triflex ProDetail® for the interface details allows vertical surfaces to be safely incorporated into theproject
:: The Triflex ProTerra® reinforced membrane is designed to deal with the interfaces between a wide range of substrates withdifferent coefficients of expansion without risk
:: As a fabric, the Triflex reinforcement provides a valuable visible thickness control during the application of the materials
:: Even ancillary materials for highly complex details incorporate our unique reinforced technology
:: The Triflex BTS-P system features various heavy duty wearing layers designed to provide both protection to the underlyingreinforced membrane and a choice of textures and finish options
:: The wearing layers are designed to be tough and durable to withstand the specific demands of the walkway, balcony and terraceenvironment
:: The Variant 1: Heavy duty option is designed for high levels of traffic, with either a crystal quartz, coloured quartz or basaltwearing course. The aggregate is tightly bound within the resin matrix and provides both the wearing layer and long termresistance to damage
:: The Triflex BTS-P can be used for both refurbishment and new build projects
:: The unique properties of the Triflex BTS-P allow virtually all common walkway, balcony and terrace substrates to be overlaid,including asphalt
:: The ability to overlay the existing construction decreases disruption to the occupier, and reduces the risk of water ingress duringthe works
:: Without the need to strip the existing coverings, Health and Safety is improved, time on site is minimised, the requirement fortemporary waterproofing avoided, and overall costs reduced
:: With a finished thickness in excess of 4mm, the Triflex BTS-P has exceptional durability, helps mask deck imperfections andprovides a more aesthetically pleasing, easier to maintain system
:: The system thickness allows profiled substrates such as brushed concrete and crimped asphalt to be overlaid without the originalprofile reflecting through
:: The seamless Triflex BTS-P avoids potential areas of weakness - one weak joint, seam or fixing can compromise the integrity ofthe whole area
:: The Triflex BTS-P system allows the area to be completed section by section with seamless continuity and no increased risk ofwater ingress during the installation
:: Structural details can be accommodated without the requirement for mechanical fixings and terminations which can be prone tofailure

:: The ability to overlay the existing construction decreases disruption to the occupier, and as the area can be completed section bysection with seamless continuity, there is no increased risk of water ingress during the works
:: Without the need to strip the existing coverings, Health and Safety is improved, time on site is minimised, the requirement fortemporary waterproofing avoided, and overall costs reduced
:: The Triflex BWS system has been proven to offer long term waterproofing, surfacing and protection to walkways, balconies andterraces over occupied premises for more than 25 years
:: The Triflex BWS has the longest BBA durability statement for any liquid applied system on the market - 20 years. The BBAcertificate gives specifiers the confidence that the system has been in use since 1981
:: Available with a choice of either large grain crystal quartz with a pigmented seal coat, large grain coloured quartz with a clearseal coat or basalt with a Traffic Grey seal coat, the Triflex BWS system can be used to add colour and design to walkways,balconies and terraces
:: All Triflex resins are UV stable and use UV stable inorganic pigments meaning that colour is retained over time
:: Meaning that all details and potential areas of weakness can be safely incorporated within the same homogenous waterproofingand surfacing membrane
:: Through incorporation of the Triflex reinforcement with our Patented resin technology, the Triflex BWS system provides long termwaterproofing security for the structure through its exceptional long term resistance to regular and unforeseen movement andflexural fatigue
:: Because the system is applied as a liquid it can be shaped to suit any form, allowing even the most complex of areas to betreated in the minimum time
:: The thixotropic liquid applied Triflex ProDetail® for the interface details allows vertical surfaces to be safely incorporated into theproject
:: The Triflex BWS reinforced membrane is designed to deal with the interfaces between a wide range of substrates with differentcoefficients of expansion without risk
:: As a fabric, the Triflex reinforcement provides a valuable visible thickness control during the application of the materials
:: Even ancillary materials for highly complex details incorporate our unique reinforced technology
:: The Triflex BWS system features a heavy duty wearing course fully filled with either crystal quartz, coloured quartz or basaltaggregate
:: The aggregate is tightly bound within the resin matrix and provides both the wearing layer, the anti-skid properties and long termresistance to damage
:: Unlike the more commonly available resins, Triflex resins achieve excellent inter layer adhesion, do not suffer inter layerdelamination and have excellent resistance to the day to day forces imposed on walkway, balcony and terrace systems
:: All elements of the system are cold applied, avoiding the risks and insurance costs associated with hot works
:: Avoidance of hot works is becoming increasingly important as many clients and building insurers are specifying “100% cold”works for their properties
:: Adjacent flammable materials and / or structures require no further special protection during the installation of the system
:: Time on site for the contractor is minimised
:: Works on site can commence immediately with no waiting time for the heating of materials
:: The risk of injury to operatives from the use of hot materials is eliminated
:: With its rapid cure times, areas are rapidly waterproofed and time on site is reduced
:: Access restrictions are minimised as the system achieves full mechanical properties quickly and all layers of the system can betrafficked relatively shortly after installation
:: With short 'rain proof' times, weather windows can be maximised to ensure the highest levels of productivity
:: The contractor can leave site, confident that areas completed are totally secure
:: With a finished thickness in excess of 4mm, the Triflex BWS has exceptional durability, helps mask deck imperfections andprovides a more aesthetically pleasing, easier to maintain system
:: The system thickness allows profiled substrates such as brushed concrete and crimped asphalt to be overlaid without the originalprofile reflecting through

:: Adjacent flammable materials and / or structures require no further special protection during the installation of the system
:: Time on site for the contractor is minimised
:: Works on site can commence immediately with no waiting time for the heating of materials
:: The risk of injury to operatives from the use of hot materials is eliminated
:: With its exceptionally rapid cure times, areas are rapidly waterproofed and time on site is reduced
:: Access restrictions are minimised as the system achieves full mechanical properties exceptionally quickly and all layers of thesystem can be trafficked relatively shortly after installation
:: With exceptionally short 'rain proof' times, weather windows can be maximised to ensure the highest levels of productivity
:: The contractor can leave site, confident that areas completed are totally secure
:: The Triflex ProTerra® waterproofing membrane within the Triflex BTS-T system has been extensively tested to some of the moststringent test methods including ETAG 005 - refer to 'Properties' in the System Data Sheet
:: The Triflex BTS-T can be used for both refurbishment and new build projects
:: The unique properties of the Triflex BTS-T allow virtually all common walkway, balcony and terrace substrates to be overlaid,including asphalt
:: The ability to overlay the existing construction decreases disruption to the occupier, and as the area can be completed section bysection with seamless continuity, there is no increased risk of water ingress during the works
:: Without the need to strip the existing coverings, Health and Safety is improved, time on site is minimised, the requirement fortemporary waterproofing avoided, and overall costs reduced
:: Available with a choice of either large grain crystal quartz with a pigmented seal coat, large grain coloured quartz with a clearseal coat or basalt with a Traffic Grey seal coat, the Triflex BTS-T system can be used to add colour and design to walkways,balconies and terraces
:: All Triflex resins are UV stable and use UV stable inorganic pigments meaning that colour is retained over time
:: Meaning that all details and potential areas of weakness can be safely incorporated within the same homogenous waterproofingand surfacing membrane
:: Through incorporation of the Triflex reinforcement with our unique resin technology, the Triflex ProTerra® ETA certified membranewithin the Triflex BTS-T system provides long term waterproofing security for the structure through its exceptional long termresistance to regular and unforeseen movement and flexural fatigue
:: Because the system is applied as a liquid it can be shaped to suit any form, allowing even the most complex of areas to betreated in the minimum time
:: The thixotropic liquid applied Triflex ProDetail® for the interface details allows vertical surfaces to be safely incorporated into theproject
:: The Triflex ProTerra® reinforced membrane is designed to deal with the interfaces between a wide range of substrates withdifferent coefficients of expansion without risk
:: As a fabric, the Triflex reinforcement provides a valuable visible thickness control during the application of the materials
:: Even ancillary materials for highly complex details incorporate our unique reinforced technology
:: The Triflex BTS-T system features a heavy duty wearing course fully filled with either crystal quartz, coloured quartz or basaltaggregate
:: The aggregate is tightly bound within the resin matrix and provides the wearing layer, the anti-skid properties and long termresistance to damage
:: Unlike the more commonly available resins, Triflex resins achieve excellent inter layer adhesion, do not suffer inter layerdelamination and have excellent resistance to the day to day forces imposed on walkway, balcony and terrace systems
:: With a finished thickness in excess of 4mm, the Triflex BTS-T has exceptional durability, helps mask deck imperfections andprovides a more aesthetically pleasing, easier to maintain system
:: The system thickness allows profiled substrates such as brushed concrete and crimped asphalt to be overlaid without the originalprofile reflecting through
:: The seamless Triflex BTS-T avoids potential areas of weakness - one weak joint, seam or fixing can compromise the integrity ofthe whole area
:: Structural details can be accommodated without the requirement for mechanical fixings and terminations which can be prone tofailure

Triflex BBSFast curing, liquid applied, fully reinforced, buried waterproofing system for walkways, balconies andterraces
System information:
The Triflex BBS cold liquid applied, fully reinforced waterproofing and surfacing system was
developed to allow more choice in the design of balconies, walkways and terraces. The majority
of Triflex systems are designed to be the final aesthetic finish, however the Triflex BBS allows
alternative coverings to be used including:
The system is based on the advanced Triflex ProTerra® ETA certified waterproofing membrane
and is particularly suited to buried applications due to its high levels of impact resistance and
resistance to standing water.
Note - Should balcony or terrace areas need to incorporate green roof areas, all Triflex roofing
systems are certified under the German FLL guidelines which have been the only source of
reliable information for designers of green roofs for the last 15 years. For further information
please refer to our intelligent ROOF-PROTECTION manual for the waterproofing, surfacing
and protection of roofs.

Triflex BBS System BenefitsFast curing, liquid applied, fully reinforced, buried waterproofing system for walkways, balconies andterraces
:: Meaning that all details and potential areas of weakness can be safely incorporated within the same homogenous waterproofingand surfacing membrane
:: Through incorporation of the Triflex reinforcement with our unique resin technology, the Triflex ProTerra® membrane within theTriflex BBS system is ETA certified and provides long term waterproofing security for the structure through its exceptional longterm resistance to regular and unforeseen movement and flexural fatigue
:: Because the system is applied as a liquid it can be shaped to suit any form, allowing even the most complex of areas to betreated in the minimum time
:: The thixotropic liquid applied Triflex ProDetail® for the interface details allows vertical surfaces to be safely incorporated into theproject
:: The Triflex ProTerra® reinforced membrane is designed to deal with the interfaces between a wide range of substrates withdifferent coefficients of expansion without risk
:: As a fabric, the Triflex reinforcement provides a valuable visible thickness control during the application of the materials
:: Even ancillary materials for highly complex details incorporate our unique reinforced technology
:: The seamless Triflex BBS avoids potential areas of weakness - one weak joint, seam or fixing can compromise the integrity of thewhole area
:: The system allows the area to be completed section be section with seamless continuity
:: Structural details can be accommodated without the requirement for mechanical fixings and terminations which can be prone tofailure
:: The system allows the maximum choice of design, by allowing various surfacing techniques including tiles, paving, insulation,
concrete and decking
:: The Triflex BBS fully reinforced waterproofing and surfacing system is tested and proven resistant to both existing and unforeseencracking
:: All elements of the system are cold applied, avoiding the risks and insurance costs associated with hot works
:: Avoidance of hot works is becoming increasingly important as many clients and building insurers are specifying “100% cold”works for their properties
:: Adjacent flammable materials and / or structures require no further special protection during the installation of the system
:: Time on site for the contractor is minimised
:: Works on site can commence immediately with no waiting time for the heating of materials
:: The risk of injury to operatives from the use of hot materials is eliminated
:: With its exceptionally rapid cure times, areas are rapidly waterproofed and time on site is reduced
:: Access restrictions are minimised as the system achieves full mechanical properties exceptionally quickly and all layers of thesystem can be trafficked relatively shortly after installation
:: With exceptionally short 'rain proof' times, weather windows can be maximised to ensure the highest levels of productivity
:: The contractor can leave site, confident that areas completed are totally secure
:: Works can be carried out all year round and in the majority of climatic conditions, allowing the project to be completed whenrequired, not when dictated by the temperature
:: The Triflex ProTerra® membrane has excellent resistance to hydrolysis (ponding water), common and unavoidable in many buriedapplications
:: The Triflex ProTerra® waterproofing membrane within the Triflex BBS system has been extensively tested to some of the moststringent test methods including ETAG 005 - refer to 'Properties' in the System Data Sheet
:: The Triflex BBS can be used for both refurbishment and new build projects
:: The unique properties of the Triflex BBS allow virtually all common walkway, balcony and terrace substrates to be overlaid,including asphalt
:: The ability to overlay the existing construction decreases disruption to the occupier
:: Without the need to strip the existing coverings, Health and Safety is improved, time on site is minimised, the requirement fortemporary waterproofing avoided, and overall costs reduced

Triflex BBS System BenefitsFast curing, liquid applied, fully reinforced, buried waterproofing system for walkways, balconies andterraces
:: The Triflex BBS system is resistant to both static and dynamic loads
:: Through the use of the optional heavy duty wearing course, the system can be directly overlaid with tiles or structural elements
:: Being fully bonded, underflow of water directly beneath the membrane is prevented
:: The inter layer adhesion of the system is generally greater than the cohesive strength of the substrate, virtually eliminating therisk of debonding or delamination
:: The Triflex BBS system offers high levels of chemical resistance
:: Where exposed, the Triflex BBS is both UV resistant and through the use of UV stable inorganic pigments, retains its' colour overtime
:: With its high levels of durability and alkalinity resistance the Triflex BBS system is particularly suited to cementitious overlay, evenallowing walls and other constructional elements to be built up directly on top of the membrane
:: Triflex walkway, balcony and terrace systems are designed to be low maintenance, minimising in service costs
:: Should additions need to be made, these can be incorporated quickly and easily
Environmental benefits:: The Triflex Environmental Policy is certified under DIN ISO 14001

System information:
In certain circumstances, the main requirement may be to provide aesthetic enhancement
with a safe anti-skid surface, rather than ultimate structural protection.
Where budget constraints preclude the use of the higher durability, thicker layer Triflex
BFS system, the Triflex BAS may be an option. The system is typically used on high
quality pre-cast concrete units which may become slippery when wet, or for covered
applications where ingress control rather than full waterproofing is required.

Triflex BAS System BenefitsFast curing, anti-skid, decorative coating system for walkways, balconies and terraces
:: Available with a choice of either small grain crystal quartz with a pigmented seal coat or small grain coloured quartz with a clearseal coat, the Triflex BAS system can be used to add colour and design to walkways, balconies and terraces
:: All Triflex resins are UV stable and use UV stable inorganic pigments meaning that colour is retained over time
:: Where skid resistance is an issue, the Triflex BAS system can reduce the potential for accidents and provides a defensiblestandard against claims
:: The system is particularly suited to smooth pre-cast and power floated concrete which can become slippery when wet
:: All elements of the system are cold applied, avoiding the risks and insurance costs associated with hot works
:: Avoidance of hot works is becoming increasingly important as many clients and building insurers are specifying “100% cold”works for their properties
:: Adjacent flammable materials and / or structures require no further special protection during the installation of the system
:: Time on site for the contractor is minimised
:: Works on site can commence immediately with no waiting time for the heating of materials
:: The risk of injury to operatives from the use of hot materials is eliminated
:: With its exceptionally rapid cure times, areas are rapidly coated and time on site is reduced
:: Access restrictions are minimised as the system achieves full mechanical properties exceptionally quickly and all layers of thesystem can be trafficked relatively shortly after installation
:: With exceptionally short 'rain proof' times, weather windows can be maximised to ensure the highest levels of productivity
:: The contractor can leave site, confident that areas completed are totally secure
:: The Triflex BAS system is designed to be tough and durable, and is able to withstand normal pedestrian traffic
:: Unlike the more commonly available resins, Triflex resins achieve excellent inter layer adhesion, do not suffer inter layerdelamination and have excellent resistance to the day to day forces imposed on walkway, balcony and terrace systems
:: The Triflex BBS system is resistant to both static and dynamic loads
:: Works can be carried out all year round and in the majority of climatic conditions, allowing the project to be completed whenrequired, not when dictated by the temperature
:: Being fully bonded, underflow of water directly beneath the membrane is prevented
:: The inter layer adhesion of the system is generally greater than the cohesive strength of the substrate, virtually eliminating therisk of debonding or delamination
:: The Triflex BAS system offers high levels of chemical resistance
:: Triflex walkway, balcony and terrace systems are designed to be low maintenance, minimising in service costs
:: The system can be simply cleaned - refer to 'Maintenance and Care'
:: Should additions need to be made, these can be incorporated quickly and easily
Environmental benefits:: The Triflex Environmental Policy is certified under DIN ISO 14001
:: The Triflex BAS system is solvent, isocyanate and halogen free, minimising its environmental impact
Quality benefits:: As all materials are manufactured to ISO9001 quality assurance standards you can be assured of consistently high quality
:: The Triflex Technical Team can assist in all areas of the design and specification process and provide ongoing support through todelivery of the project
:: Triflex walkway, balcony and terrace systems are only installed by our contracting partners who have been specially selected fortheir ability to provide the highest level of service to the client

Triflex TSSFast curing, thick layer, heavy duty waterproofing and surfacing system for stairs and stairwells
System information:
The Triflex TSS cold liquid applied, waterproofing and surfacing system for stairs and
stairwells was developed to provide a secure solution to areas which are often left
unprotected or are treated with low quality, paint type coatings.
The system combines the performance benefits of the heavy duty Triflex BFS waterproofing
and surfacing system on the treads and stairwells with proprietary edge nosings to provide a
long term solution. The anti-skid properties of the system greatly reduce the potential for
accidents and claims.
The system is suitable for both new build and refurbishment projects, and with its
exceptionally rapid cure times and totally cold application, it is the first choice for stairs and
stairwells where access is restricted and time on site needs to be minimised.
Note - For full waterproofing of stairs and stairwells to include the risers contact Triflex (UK)
Limited.

Triflex Insulated SystemsInsulated Waterproofing and Surfacing Systems for Walkways, Balconies and Terraces
For applications where insulation is a specific requirement or would be beneficial, there are a number of possibilities for incorporating insulation
with Triflex walkway, balcony and terrace systems:
Insulated decks with structural concrete topping
Where the client requires the final finish to be a Triflex system, the preferred method of construction is to incorporate a non-compressible, rigid,
extruded polystyrene insulation within the construction.
The typical build up would be:
Structural deck
300mu polyethylene based Damp Proof Membrane (taped joints)
Extruded polystyrene insulation to meet required U-values
300mu polyethylene based Damp Proof Membrane (taped joints)
75mm C35 structural reinforced concrete overlay
Triflex waterproofing, surfacing and protection system
Our seamless systems avoid the need for joints, seams and fixings, eliminating the weak spots and providing the client with a totally homogenous,
waterproofing and surfacing solution to protect their investment. Our range of systems allow accommodation of virtually all walkway, balcony and
terrace constructions, build ups and designs.
Timber decks with insulation between the joists
For applications where the deck construction is timber, insulation can be incorporated within the joists and waterproofing and surfacing provided
using either the Triflex BWS - page 59 or the Triflex BTS-T systems - page 73.
The specific requirements for timber decks should be incorporated at the design stage:
Deck must be constructed from minimum 19mm marine ply, with joists at maximum 400mm centres. Deck to be mechanically fixed with
countersunk fixings at 100mm centres along all joists and noggins, with all joints between boards filled with PVA adhesive to create a
homogenous, rigid deck.
Inverted decks
A further alternative is to use the Triflex BBS fast curing, liquid applied, fully reinforced, buried waterproofing system for walkways, balconies and
terraces - page 87.
The system is designed for buried applications and the insulation can therefore be placed on top of the membrane with a suitable wearing course
of pavers or structural concrete.
The typical build up would be:
Structural deck
Triflex BBS waterproofing system
300g/m2 non-woven polyester fleece slip layer
Extruded polystyrene insulation to meet required U-values
300g/m2 non-woven polyester fleece filtration layer
Paving on supports or structural concrete

Back to Index Section start Previous page Next page Next section
Triflex -Walkway, balcony and terrace systems
Maintenance and CareGeneral
Triflex walkway, balcony and terrace waterproofing, surfacing and protection
systems are designed to avoid the requirement for regular maintenance as far as
possible. As a matter of good housekeeping, it is recommended that the Triflex
systems are inspected annually - ideally just before winter.
General maintenance
• Remove any debris from the deck area, and all items which could potentially
cause damage to the System.
• Check and clean outlets, drainage points, gutters, downspouts etc. and ensure
that all rainwater goods are working effectively.
• Carefully remove any plant growth.
General inspection
• Check all details visually to ensure a sound bond to substrate.
• Check the installed System for any signs of mechanical or chemical damage.
• Check the soffit where visible for evidence of water ingress, wet patches, water
staining etc.
• Check other building components e.g. ballustrades, surface mounted details,
walls, threshold details etc. for soundness.
Any observations that require attention to the installed Triflex Systems should be
reported to the Triflex Approved Contractor who installed the System.
Repair
Areas of mechanical damage should be repaired by the original installer as soon
as possible after they become evident.
The Triflex approved contractor should consult Triflex (UK) Limited for approved
repair methods.
Additions and removals
Prior to additions or removals taking place which may affect the integrity of the
installed Triflex system, Triflex (UK) Limited to be contacted for approved methods.
General protection
Where Triflex treated areas are likely to suffer damage or contamination from
other trades during subsequent or other works, suitable precautions should be
taken to protect the installed System.
Cleaning
Should the walkway, balcony or terrace require cleaning, we recommend the
following methods.
Manually washing down
Manually brush away any loose particles, dirt, dust etc.
Mop the Triflex treated area with a solution of warm water and approved
detergent. For stubborn areas of dirt, gently brush the surface while it is still wet.
Pressure washing
Manually brush away any loose particles, general dust, dirt etc.
Ensure all outlets, drainage points, gutters and downspouts are clear and free
from any blockage.
Apply a cold or warm water pressure wash with approved detergent in solution.
The head of the water lance should be kept at least 500mm away from the Triflex
surface at all times and the pressure should be restricted to less than 1500psi.
Preferably leave the detergent solution on the surface for approximately
15 minutes.
For stubborn areas of dirt, gently brush or mop the surface after the detergent
has been applied.
Rinse the surface with clean, cold water. The head of the water lance should be
kept at least 500mm away from the Triflex surface at all times and the pressure
should be restricted to less than 1500psi.
Squeegee excess water from the surface to outlets, gullies etc.
Floor scrubbing machines
Subject to prior approval of equipment and methods by Triflex (UK) Limited, floor
scrubbing machines with single large diameter heads may be used to clean the
Triflex systems.
Mechanical scrubber driers
Subject to prior approval of equipment and methods by Triflex (UK) Limited,
mechanical scrubber driers may be used to clean the Triflex systems.
Important notes for all cleaning methods:
Water temperature should not exceed 50°C
Only detergents or degreasants approved by Triflex (UK) Limited should
be used.
Cleaning methods and materials not in accordance with Triflex guidelines may
affect any warranty.
De-icing
Triflex walkway, balcony and terrace waterproofing and surfacing systems are
resistant to common de-icing materials including rock salt, Calcium Chloride
Flakes and Prilled Urea.
Calcium Chloride Flakes and Prilled Urea are recommended as these dissolve and
do not leave an unsightly, dirty residue on the deck.
For approval of other de-icing chemicals please contact Triflex (UK) Limited.
Important note:
De-icing methods and materials not in accordance with Triflex guidelines may
affect any warranty.
