Built up felt systems
Reinforced bituminous membranes (RBM), commonly referred to as Built-Up Felt, is a tried-and-tested waterproofing solution for all types of flat roofing projects. RBM has gained significant recognition as a trusted method for strengthening roofs against various weather conditions and environmental challenges. This involves the application of multiple layers of bituminous felt, securely bonded to each other. With proper upkeep, a standard three-layer felt system boasts a remarkable durability of 20 years or more.
Felt roofs stand out as a preferred choice due to their affordability and reliability. The versatility of this roofing solution is highlighted through its availability in three distinct installation techniques:
1. Pour and Roll: This method involves carefully rolling the felt membranes into heated bitumen, creating a robust bond.
2. Hot Torch: Utilising professional torches, the back of the membrane's bitumen is melted to create a strong adherence with the substrate.
3. Cold Adhered: This technique involves utilising mechanical fasteners or innovative self-adhesive technology for installing the reinforced bituminous membranes.
The benefits of reinforced bituminous membranes:
- Durable
- A versatile system for both new builds and refurbishments
- Weather resistant
- Multi-layer waterproof protection
- Cost effective
- Energy efficient
