FELT ROOFING
(Reinforced Bitumen Membrane)
Reinforced Bituminous Membrane – which is commonly referred to as Felt remains one of the most widely specified and installed forms of flat roof waterproofing for both new-build and refurbishment projects.
- Traditional flat roofing method
- Life expectancy of >30 years
- Compatible with most types of flat roofing applications
- Resistance to the most extreme weather conditions such as high and low temperatures, rain, snow, ice, and the freeze-thaw process
- Dimensional stability enabling the waterproofing system to accommodate building movement
- Installation is simple and can be achieved through a variety of methods; torch-applied, mechanically fixed or self-adhered, depending on the specification and suitability
- Security and peace of mind for the building owner is achieved through the installation of a robust, multilayer, built up felt modified bituminous waterproofing system
- High resistance to mechanical damage and puncturing in comparison to alternative flat roof coverings
- Excellent adhesion to the substrate
In most cases, when a bituminous flat roof system reaches the end of its service life, a single layer overlay can be installed over the top of the existing system to extend and renew the longevity of the waterproofing system
