Pre-Fabricated System
The fastest installation system
The Protan Pre-Fabricated Sheet system is the best and fastest solution in wind-exposed areas, so it is ideal when the roof has to be covered quickly.

Product Summary
• Ideal for large, simple roof plans that would traditionally be waterproofed using standard rolls of Protan SE membrane.
• Enable large areas of Protan membrane to be installed rapidly by reducing on-site hot-air welding operations by up to 70%.
• Significantly reduces the volume of membrane required, as the number and width of overlaps between adjacent rolls of membrane is minimised.
• No adhesives or solvents are used, that means all materials and components of the system are fully-recyclable.
Pre-Fabricated System
The Protan Pre-Fabricated system is a mechanically fixed roof system that makes use of Protan’s unique, prefabricated rolls of G or SE membrane.
A Protan approved polyethylene vapour control layer is loose-laid over the structural roof deck, followed by Protan-approved insulation and prefabricated Protan G (for protected roof systems) or SE (for exposed roof systems) PVC single-ply membrane.
The prefabricated Protan membrane is mechanically fixed to the structural roof deck by fasteners and telescopic tube washers (the density of which is determined by a wind load calculation completed by Protan’s Technical Services Department) through secret-fix strips factory-welded to the reverse side of the membrane. The rolls of prefabricated Protan membrane overlap each other by a minimum of 40mm and are welded together using hot air to create a homogenous waterproof seal.
As no adhesives or solvents are used, all materials and components of the Protan Pre-Fabricated system are fully recyclable.
Pre-Fabricated Protan PVC single-ply membranes are ideal for large, simple roof plans that would traditionally be waterproofed using standard rolls of Protan SE membrane.
Pre-Fabricated membranes enable large areas of Protan membrane to be installed rapidly by reducing on-site hot-air welding operations by up to 70%.
Pre-Fabricated Protan membranes are manufactured off-site, with secret-fix strips factory-welded to their reverse side by high frequency welding technologies. The secret-fix strips are spaced at regular centres, usually 1.00m to simulate 1.00m-wide rolls installed in a Protan Standard Overlap system, however the spacing can be reduced to account for high wind uplift pressures.
Pre-Fabricated membranes significantly reduce the volume of membrane required, as the number and width of overlaps between adjacent rolls of membrane is minimised.

Standard Overlap System
The Standard Overlap System with mechanical fastening can be installed on all types of substrate, and used on both new build and renovation projects.

Pre-Fabricated System
The Protan Pre-Fabricated Sheet system is the best and fastest solution in wind-exposed areas, so it is ideal when the roof has to be covered quickly.

Green Roof System
The Protan Green Roof system can accommodate biodiverse, extensive and intensive planting schemes and adds an environmentally-friendly aesthetic.

Protected System
The Protected system is designed for installation on roofs that require regular access and roofs that are used as recreational areas, like terraces.

Vacuum System
This unique system uses wind forces present in the environment to hold the Protan membrane in place. Very quick to install, no need for fasteners.

BlueProof System
With this system, water is gradually drained and allowed into the storm drain network, avoiding overloading resulting in floods.

Adhered System
Fully adhered solutions can be appropriate where perforation of the vapour control layer is undesirable or mechanical fastening is difficult or impossible.
