Torch-on bitumen membrane
Two-layer bitumen waterproofing for flat roofs — base sheet and cap sheet torched down.
- When to consider it
- A new covering, replacing old bitumen roofing, or a roof with a substrate prepared for a bitumen system — concrete, trapezoidal metal decking or an insulation board with a suitable facing.
- What needs checking
- The condition and moisture of the substrate, whether the old bitumen roofing can stay, and planning the laps, corners and upstands at parapet walls before any torching starts.
- What determines the result
- An even bead of bitumen at the laps, staggered seams between layers, and watertight upstands at parapet walls, outlets and penetrations.
