Flame free systems are perfectly suited to projects where bitumen boilers or gas torches are impractical. There are a variety of cold applied systems with traditional felt finishes, single ply and seamless liquid applied, all with their own characteristics, providing different roofing methods to suit any type of base.
Single Ply – Self Adhesive; Mechanically Fixed; Adhered
Single ply membrane systems are especially suitable as an overlay material for existing built-up felt and asphalt roofing. PVC single ply membranes are vapour permeable ensuring that moisture in the existing roofing will gradually disperse and consequently assist to dry out the existing roofing.
Liquid Applied
Generally speaking these systems applied using brush, spray or roller and offer a comprehensive range of specifications providing a wide variety of finishes, life expectancy and performance characteristics.
Liquid waterproofing systems are suitable for use on balconies and external walkways – as they provide a slip and wear resistant barrier to protect the structure.
Liquid systems can be used on the most complex of details, which are often found, for example, around handrail supports, thresholds, rainwater outlets and downspouts. These hard wearing, textured systems may be fleece or structurally reinforced.
