SELFTENE Terrace is the self-adhesive
membrane onto which floors can be laid
directly without needing a cement screed
in between, subtracting at least 4 cm thickness. SELFTENE Terrace is an elastomeric
(SBS) distilled-polymer bitumen self-adhesive membrane, reinforced with a composite
non-woven polyester fabric stabilised with
fibreglass. It has high mechanical resistance and dimensional stability. Its lower
face is spread for 40% of the surface with
strips based on a special elastomeric mass,
self-adhesive by simply pressing at room

HOW TO WATERPROOF A BALCONY OR
TERRACE, WITH A POLYMER BITUMEN
MEMBRANE, WITHOUT USING A TORCH,
WHERE THE THICKNESS
IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR A SCREED
RENOVATING OLD FLOORS
SOLUTION
In new builds, upon completion it often arises that on balconies and
terraces the thickness isn’t sufficient for laying a screed. The same is
valid for renovations, when trying to avoid the demolition of the old
floor. This is often added to the problem of laying on small surface areas
in situations where using a torch is inconvenient or could damage the
existing floor.
temperature. It is made up of a special select
bitumen mix, tackifying resins and radial and
linear thermoplastic elastomeric polymers
with long-lasting adhesive capacities. The
strips protrude from the membrane surface
and —together with the remaining 60% of
the surface, which is sand-coated and nonadhesive, for a partial adhesion —create a
micro air space that allows water vapour to
circulate and prevent bubbles from forming
when operating on damp surfaces.
The adhesive mass of SELFTENE Terraceconsists of special select bitumens to keep
adhesiveness unaltered for long periods
during the storage phase and high adhesion

ADVANTAGES
• Easy to apply without special tools.
• Quick to apply and rainproof straight

• Waterproofing with low thickness,
screed can be avoided.
• No demolition and no inconvenience.

SELFTENE Terrace is a membrane intended for single-layer under-floor waterproofing
on balconies and terraces where the thickness isn’t sufficient for laying a screed or for
renovations without having to demolish the
existing floor and when it isn’t possible to
use a torch.
SELFTENE Terrace is glued in semi-independence when the laying surface is visually
dry but you are uncertain that the substrate
is completely dry.

2. Primer
INDEVER PRIMER E
METHOD OF USE
The SELFTENE Terrace membranes adhere on the most ordinary
building materials: ceramic floors, stoneware, concrete and metal surfaces. The laying surface must be smooth and flat. Porous surfaces,
such as cement or brick surfaces, or an old bitumen covering must be
prepared with a coat of 150÷400 g/m² ECOVER primer.
During winter and/or when rainy conditions are expected, ECOVER
can be replaced by a coat of INDEVER PRIMER E (250–500 g/m²) or
PRIMER FIX, PRIMER U.
Unroll the membrane on the
laying surface aligning it at the
bottom of one of the walls and
cut to measure. Remove the silicone-coated film half from the
lower face opposite the masonry taking care not to move the
sheet and lose the alignment.
Exert suitable pressure on the
half of the roll where the siliconecoated film has been removed
so that it sticks to the surface.
Then remove the other half of the
silicone-coated film from the lower
face and exert sufficient pressure on the whole sheet. Lay the
second sheet alongside, ensuring it does not overlap the first
sheet, and repeat the operations
described above. It is important
to carry out a general pressing
down SELFTENE Terrace on the
substrate using a roller.
The longitudinal join lines will be
sealed with UNOLASTIC, spreading a first coat in a 15 cm strip, reinforcing with a strip of RINFOTEX
PLUS of the same width across the
joined sheets, and then covering
this with a second coat of UNOLASTIC. Repeat this operation

tic. Subsequently,
when the weather conditions improve, seal all joints as outlined above. On
perimeter walls, the housing for the sheet must be created by making a
channel at least 4 cm deep, smoothed with plaster. The vertical parts must
be spread with a coat of UNOLASTIC reinforced with RINFOTEX PLUS then
covered with a second coat of UNOLASTIC across 10 cm on the horizontal
sheet and vertically beyond the level of the skirting board. Then the vertical
parts must be protected with plaster reinforced with RETINVETRO PER INTONACI. If it is not possible to create the vertical housing in the wall, protect
the end of the waterproof covering with a structural metal weather moulding fixed mechanically to the protruding part along with the membrane and
sealed at the top. The weather moulding must have a metal wing completely
protecting the vertical part of the sheet up to the floor.

polyurethane-bitumen waterproofing product PURLASTIC FLASHING
with the same procedure. In this case the surface will be immediately
out of the rain.

Laying new tiles
Grouting the floor
Ceramic and stoneware floors can be laid straight onto SELFTENE
Terrace and UNOLASTIC (or PURLATIC FLASHING) preferably using
cement adhesives modified with class C2S1/C2S2 resins according
to the type of tiles to be laid.
• PRECAUTIONS
• Store the rolls in a dry place indoors and take them to the laying
location only when about to be applied.
• Polymer bitumen membranes are thermoplastic products and
therefore they soften in the hottest hours of summer days whereas
they harden in cold weather and the product’s adhesive power is
therefore reduced.
• The excellent cold behaviour of SELFTENE Terrace does not justify the laying of the self-adhesive membrane at low temperatures
without precautions. Below +10°C also according to the humidity
conditions of the air and the surface, particular attention must be
paid during laying, if necessary using hot air heating appliances
or a “light flame”. The temperature of +5°C remains the laying
threshold limit.
• The UNOLASTIC (and PURLASTIC FLASHING) package must be
opened immediately before laying.
• The minimum temperature for applying UNOLASTIC and PURLASTIC FLASHING is +5°C.
• For the application warnings for UNOLASTIC and PURLASTIC
FLASHING, consult the relative technical sheet.
• Before laying the tiles, wait until the sealing of the butt joints and
vertical overlaps made with UNOLASTIC (or with PURLASTIC
FLASHING) are dry.

PRODOTTI CHE COMPLETANO IL SISTEMA
UNOLASTIC
It is a creamy paste in a grey, black and burnt
brown ready-to-use aqueous solution obtained
by mixing special elastic synthetic resins, bitumen
and quartz fillers with a high resistance to water.
Ready-to-use, it does not require water or
electricity therefore increasing the speed and ease
of laying. Thus while being laid it is not necessary
to use electric mixers and if you need to stop
the application, just close the pot, to then find
the product perfectly usable at a later stage. The
paste obtained in this manner, once dried, features
high elasticity, optimal adhesion to support and
impermeability.
PURLASTIC
FLASHING
It is a thixotropic single-component polyurethanebitumen waterproofing creamy paste.
The material hardens with moisture in the
atmosphere and produces a strong elastic
membrane with excellent adhesion also to
bituminous layers.
The final film features excellent mechanical and
chemical properties.
RINFOTEX PLUS
It is a reinforcement in 100% stabilised non-woven
polypropylene fabric.
Spread and encapsulate it on the waterproofing
with UNOLASTIC to obtain the best waterproofing
resistance characteristics.
Produced in strips of 15 cm height, it is a practical
and easy-to-use solution for making overlaps on
walls, and for sealing joints and details.
