Bituminous Membrane - Sika
Bitumen, also known as asphalt, is a sticky, black and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. Thanks to its waterproofing qualities, it is widely used in construction. Bituminous membranes are perfect for waterproofing roofs, basements, below-ground structures, bridges and other structures.
Modified Bitumen Membranes
Modified bitumen is made by adding polymers to the asphalt and combining that with a fiberglass or polyester reinforcement. The result is an impermeable roof membrane. Primarily used on flat or low-slope roofs, modified bitumen can either be installed as a two-layer system (base and cap layers) or as part of a multi-layered system.
