Torch-Applied Bitumen Membrane

Bitumen membranes torched onto the roof deck for durable waterproofing.

Waterproofing & Lining

Overview

KRCC installs torch-applied bitumen membranes — a bituminous waterproofing membrane installed with a propane torch that heats and melts its underside, bonding it to the roof substrate to create a durable, waterproof roofing system.

The membrane is typically a base material such as fibreglass or polyester coated with bitumen, sometimes reinforced with additional layers for strength.

What We Offer

Installation

Installation

The torch heats the bitumen on the underside of the membrane, which softens and bonds to the roof deck.

Advantages
