Bituminous products are perfect for the waterproofing of roofs as they move with the structure, they are not too rigid and do not absorb water.

Waterproofing membranes systems are designed to protect both residential and commercial buildings through a mixed substance made up of organic liquids that are highly sticky and viscous. Bitumen is a hydrocarbon and is created naturally from crude oil, it is a useful carbon store and does not generate greenhouse gases.

Torch-on membrane is a bitumen-based waterproofing product which is heat-fused to underlying substrates. It is sold in a variety of thicknesses with single or dual re-enforcement with polyester or fiber glass.

We apply the treatment with a blowtorch, heat-fusing it to the underlying surface. We then reinforce the treatment with a layer of silver aluminum paint to provide UV protection (this extra step isn’t necessary when the torch-on treatment is applied to building foundations where the sun doesn’t reach).
