Membrane Waterproofing
What is a Roof Membrane ?
Production Design
Because they are not too rigid and do not absorb water, bituminous products are ideal for waterproofing roofs on buildings because they move with the structure. Waterproofing membrane systems are created to protect both residential and commercial buildings through a mixture of organic liquids that are highly sticky and viscous and can also be used as a continuous waterproofing membrane for foundations, basements, tunnels, concreate, etc., and it is applied to the surface. Bituminous membranes are composed of several different components. Bitumen combined with sand or another filtering material, such as limestone. To increase rigidity and tear resistance, bitumen is mixed with polymers like SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene), a rubber additive, and APP (Atactic Polypropylene), a plastic additive.
Application of Procedure
- By employing a welding torch, 10 cm of overtopping for joints and 15 cm of overtopping for ends are permitted.
- Before welding the joint together, the surface coated with mineral stone on joints needs to be heated and the minerals need to be buried on the bituminous surface using trowels.
- For the top layer, the first layer's transverse joints should be lowered at an offset position.
- The initial layer's longitudinal and transverse joints need to be cantered.
- From the point where the slope is steepest, roof coverings should be put perpendicular to the slope.
The Benefits of this System
- Identical thickness
- The membrane may be reinforced with polyester to guarantee dimensional stability.
- Excellent stability in applications and services at both high and low temperatures.
- Excellent rip and impact resistance.
- Available for light foot traffic in simple or mineral finish.
Guaranteed Waterproofing
We offer a 10-to-15-year warranty on this system, depending on the material specifications utilized on the job site.
Mineral Face Membrane
High performance polymer modified bituminous waterproof membrane known as “mineral face membrane” has reflecting natural colour slates on its surface to maximize UV protection. The presence of the slates offers both an aesthetically pleasing surface and mechanical protection against modest traffic and sporadic maintenance.
