A waterproofing membrane is a layer of water-tight material that is laid onto a surface to prevent water leaks or damage. Waterproofing membranes generally consist of liquid applied or pre-formed sheet membranes.
Bitumen, also known as asphalt, is a sticky, black and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. Thanks to its waterproofing qualities, it is widely used in construction. Bituminous membranes are perfect for waterproofing roofs, basements, below-ground structures, bridges and other structures.
- Used directly underneath asphalt
- Durable
- Flexible when cold and hot
- Good weldability
- High mechanical resistance
- High puncture resistance
- High performance: with a reinforcement Glass fleece, the membrane has a perfect dimensional stability
- Dimensional stability at high temperature when pouring the asphalt
- Easy to repair tears or holes in the system
- It comes in rolls, which ease the application and keep costs down
- Manufactured in a factory which means the quality control is good
- It expands and contracts with the movement of the building
- It resists UV light, which reduces cooling costs in the summer and prolongs the life of the roof
- Offers good insulation and energy efficiency (high R-value)
- Requires minimal maintenance
- Can be applied on top of existing roof, eliminating the need for costly tear-off and disposal
