Leak security is the key component of protecting your space from harsh weather conditions. This is why homeowners should never turn a blind eye to roof maintenance. A weatherproof roof ensures safety while extending the roof’s life. Discover different materials for waterproofing that can guarantee the structural integrity of your roof.
Different Types of Sealants available for Waterproofing Roofs
Check out a few options of roof sealants ensuring water-resistant roofs:
-
Bituminous Membranes
These are commonly used for flat roofs. Bituminous membranes are highly durable with good water-resisting properties but require to be heated by a flame prior to installation. This can be a real hazard and often results in unintended fires to the roof.
-
Liquid Waterproofing Membranes
These waterproofing materials include substances such as liquid polyurethanes. Liquid membranes have minimal upkeep but do require a professional roofer to execute the installation. These materials provide effective moisture control for intricate roof shapes and work perfectly with AdhesionXtreme®’s Addhésion® Fleece tapes. For example, these tapes are used to seal the joints of insulation panels prior to pouring the liquid urethane in order to prevent the molten urethane from leaking through the joints.
-
Thermoplastic Membranes TPO & PVC
Thermoplastic polyolefin, including polyvinyl Chloride ( PVC), are flexible membranes ideal for UV resistance. Besides, they are durable enough to ensure weatherproof roofs even in extreme conditions. AdhesionXtreme®’s RoofBond® tapes work perfectly & rapidly to seal the joints of these polymer membranes instead of heat welding that takes significantly more time to install. And besides, RoofBond® Grey is a perfect colour match for these polymer materials.
