What is elastomeric membrane roofing?
Made up of a base layer of bitumen and a finishing layer of bitumen mixed with SBS polymers, elastomeric membrane roofing is sold in rolls. The base layer is installed across the entire roof surface, while roofers roll out the top layer and heat its underside with a torch. The two layers fuse together to form a single rubber-like membrane that fits into every corner and gap of the roof, ensuring long-lasting watertight performance.
Flat or low-slope roofs require reliable protection against water infiltration, rot and UV damage. In the past, flat roofs were covered with asphalt and gravel, but advances in technology have made elastomeric membrane roofing the top choice. With no seams and superior watertightness thanks to polymer-modified bitumen, it has become the number one option for flat-roof buildings.
Advantages of elastomeric membrane roofing
Elastomeric membranes are thick and durable. They resist harsh weather, tearing, UV rays and rot. They can effectively protect flat roofs for up to 30 years with biannual maintenance. Elastomeric membrane roofing is available in a wide range of colors: red, white, grey, black, green, and more.
Repairs are easy to perform on elastomeric membrane roofing. Localized resurfacing can be done when minor issues arise. Sealing around rooftop equipment should also be redone periodically, and granules can be added as needed.
