RUBEROID® Torch-Applied Modified Bitumen Membranes
Description
Ruberoid torch-applied membranes are tough, resilient modified bitumen membranes manufactured to stringent GAF Materials Corporation specifications. Their core is a strong, resilient, non-woven polyester mat that is coated with weather resistant, polymer-modified asphalt. "FR"-designated membranes are coated with an inherently fire retardant polymer-modified asphalt. RUBEROID torch-applied membranes are designed for new roofing and reroofing applications as well as construction of flashings. They are also an ideal product for the repair of built-up roofing systems. Advantages include:
· Cost effective-the installed cost of RUBEROID torch-applied membranes is less than most single-ply systems on the market today.
· Resilient-special polyester mat core allows it to resist splits and tears due to its pliability and elongation characteristics.
· Durable-specially formulated APP-modified asphalt gives RUBEROID torch-applied membranes lasting performance.
· Backed by GAF Materials Corporation, a company with over 100 years in the roofing business.
