Elevate V-Force is a self-adhered vapor barrier membrane combining SBS modified bitumen adhesive with a tri-laminate woven, high-density polyethylene top surface, protected by a polymeric release liner.

Key Features:
- Temporary roofing: Offers temporary UV protection and can be left exposed up to 30 days.
- Temporary waterproofing: Can serve as temporary waterproofing when overlaps shed water and are primed with Elevate SA Primer.
- Foot-traffic resistant: Engineered composition provides high resistance to static loading and dynamic impact.
- Steel-deck direct: High tensile strength and elongation allow application directly to steel deck.
- Non-slip surface: Light-colored, non-slippery polyethylene film improves job-site safety.
- Multi-substrate adhesion: Installs on concrete, wood, gypsum board and steel deck.

Coverage & How Much You Need:
One 45 in. x 133 ft roll provides about 498 sq ft of material; net coverage is less after side and end laps. Compute rolls by deck area plus lap allowances, and treat the membrane as a temporary roof for no more than 30 days of exposure.
Fit and Compatibility:
Designed as a vapor control layer within Elevate roofing systems, with adhesion enhanced by Elevate SA Water Based Primer. Application over existing membranes requires an appropriate separation layer or Elevate ISOGARD HD cover board. Deck selection and system design are the specifier's responsibility.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: What is included?
A: One roll of self-adhered membrane, 45 in. x 133 ft, in black, with polymeric release liner.
Q: How much does one roll cover?
A: About 498 sq ft of material; net coverage is reduced by side and end laps.
Q: How long can it stay exposed?
A: Up to 30 days; the polyethylene top facer provides temporary UV protection.
Q: Can it go directly on steel deck?
A: Yes — its high tensile strength and elongation make it suitable for direct application to steel deck.
Q: What primer should I use?
A: Prime overlaps with Elevate SA Primer when using the membrane as temporary waterproofing; use Elevate SA Water Based Primer on porous decks.
Q: Can it be installed over an existing membrane?
A: Only with an appropriate separation layer or an Elevate ISOGARD HD cover board.
Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
V-Force earns its place when you need a vapor barrier that can also ride out a weather delay as temporary roofing — just respect the 30-day exposure limit and keep overlaps shedding water with primed laps. Roll it firmly onto steel deck the same day you uncrate the deck work, and walk it to bed the laps. Do not place it over an old membrane without a separation layer or ISOGARD HD board.
The surface is designed to be non-slippery, but cut edges and the release liner create slip and trip hazards — keep the work area clear and wear gloves when handling the liner.
Order Elevate V-Force Vapor Barrier Membrane, 45 in. x 133 ft, for reliable vapor control and temporary roofing.
