Soprema

Soprema is a French manufacturer of waterproofing and roofing materials, with its range supplied to the Australian trade. The focus is bituminous sheet membranes and the liquid applied products that detail them, backed by the primers and sealants that complete a system. What we stock sits mainly around roof, balcony, foundation and retaining wall work rather than internal wet areas.

Both belong to the same Soprasun Plus torch applied membrane family, and the designation identifies the grade. Which grade a job calls for is normally set by the project specification or the system build up rather than by preference, so check the technical data sheet on each product page before ordering. If you are matching an existing roof or balcony build up, confirm the grade with the specifier first.

Bituminous sheet membranes are normally applied over a compatible bitumen primer so the membrane bonds properly to the substrate. Elastocol Stick and AntiRock Primer are the two primers in this range, and the right choice depends on the substrate and the membrane above it. Prime first, let the primer go off, then lay the membrane, following the documentation for that pairing.

Alsan Flashing is the liquid applied detailing resin in this range, stocked in a standard version, a Quadro liquid detailer and a Jardin version. Sopramastic is the cartridge product for joints and terminations. Liquid detailing is usually the cleanest way to close off corners, penetrations and upstands where sheet membrane is hard to dress in, so send the detail through if you are unsure which variant suits.

Yes, Colphene 3000 is the below ground membrane in this range and is used on foundation and retaining wall work. Below ground waterproofing is usually a positive side application, meaning the membrane goes on the wet face before backfilling, and the detailing at penetrations and cold joints does most of the work. Where the same job also takes in external above ground areas such as balconies or roof decks, note those are commonly specified in Australia against standards like AS 4654, so read the specification for each area separately.

Manufacturer warranties on waterproofing are generally tied to a complete system rather than to a single tin or roll, and often depend on an approved applicator installing to the published details. In practice that means the primer, membrane and detailing products need to come from the same system for cover to apply. For terms on a specific project, get in touch and we will point you to the right manufacturer documentation.
