Bonding insulation boards on a flat roof requires the right products, correct application, and strict adherence to processing conditions. A proper bond not only ensures secure attachment of the insulation but also supports the overall performance of the roofing system.
Choose the Right Adhesive for Your Application
For bonding IKO enertherm insulation boards, IKO offers dedicated adhesive solutions that are fully compatible with our roofing systems:
IKOpro PU Glue: a one-component polyurethane adhesive that expands automatically and provides long-lasting adhesion to various substrates such as concrete, vapor barriers, or timber structures.
IKOpro Fix-Gun: a high-adhesion one-component PU foam adhesive, ideal for bonding IKO enertherm boards up to 120 x 120 cm.
Application Guidelines and Conditions
Always follow the specific application guidelines for the adhesive in use. Refer to the technical data sheet of the chosen product for detailed information about:
- Recommended consumption per m²
- Compatible substrates
- Application temperature range
- Open time and curing time
The actual adhesive consumption is determined by the pattern applied, and must be adjusted based on the substrate type and local wind load requirements.
Attention: Proper bonding is only possible when weather conditions allow. Always consider:
- Minimum and maximum ambient temperature
- Temperature of the substrate
- Temperature of the adhesive product
For optimal results, store adhesives at room temperature and protect them from excessive cold or heat.
