Ruviplan FG PLUS
Ruviplan FG Plus is the principal waterproofing material for exposed roof applications
known as ‘Mechanically Attached Systems’. Ruvitex mechanically attached systems are
ideal for new and renovation of, flat, pitched and curved roof configurations.

Colour
Ruviplan FG PLUS as standard comes dark grey colour. Closest RAL to dark grey is RAL 7012 and slight colours variation may occur between batches.
Light grey is also available on special order.
Note light grey is not a stock item so please allow longer lead times for delivery. Please email info@ruvitex.co.uk to enquire about light grey.
Material
Ruviplan FG PLUS membranes are manufactured from pliable PVC with a reinforcement of woven polyester. The PVC contains stabilisers that makes the membrane resistant to high and low temperatures, UV-resistant and self extinguishing in the event of fire.

Resistance to wind forces.
Ruviplan FG PLUS has exceptional tensile and tear strength and is designed to resist the forces of wind and weather during many years of service. During the manufacturing process, the PVC and polyester reinforcement are fused together to produce one homoge-
nous sheet.
Low temperature flexibility
Ruviplan FG PLUS is manufactured to withstand the low temperatures during winter. The membrane remains flexible during installation and when in use without fracturing. Ruviplan FG PLUS 2 remains flexible at –25° C.
Water vapour permeability
Ruviplan FG PLUS membranes are vapour permeable. When used in a mechanically attached system, the membrane provides an ideal solution for roof constructions with limited risks of interstitial condensation.
Puncture Resistance
Ruviplan FG PLUS membranes are resistant, without damage, to the limited foot traffic and light concentrated loads associated with the installation and maintenance work. On areas of frequent foot traffic i.e. roof access points and routes to roof-top plant etc. a suitable protection layer should be used. Ruviplan walkway membrane, paving slabs on supports or other preparatory walkway should be used.
Solar reflection
Ruviplan FG PLUS light grey membrane can help to reduce the surface temperature during warm weather and heat gain within the interior of the building.
Life Expectancy
Ruviplan FG PLUS has been subjected to accelerated weather tests that have indicated a minimum life expectancy of over 30 years. PVC single ply roofing membranes were first used in Europe in the 1960’s and many continue to provide service after 40 years.
Application
Ruviplan FG PLUS membranes are suitable for use with foil faced ridged foam insulation and mineral wool insulation boards. On cold roof and refurbishment a suitable isolation layer should be used under the Ruviplan FG PLUS membrane.
Installation
Ruviplan FG PLUS membranes must be installed by applicators/contractors who have the necessary experience and equipment and have undergone the required training. Inspection of overlap, seams and general installation must be carried out during and on completion of each installation.
