What is Hot Melt?
With a proven track record, hot melt waterproofing systems have stood the test of time. With up to 45% recycled content, hot melt waterproofing is a sustainable, cost effective and robust roofing system for commercial and industrial flat roofing applications. Typical applications include podium decks, terraces, green/sustainable roofs and paved/ballasted roofs.
Hot melt waterproofing refers to its application method whereby a specially formulated bituminous compound block or keg, modified and enhanced with various rubbers and additives is melted down in purpose built plant/machinery before being applied to the required substrate.
Hot melt system components vary between manufacturers but generally consist of a polyester fibre reinforcement layer, sandwiched between two layers of hot melt waterproofing membrane, topped with a felt protection layer. This comprises a full build up of waterproofing.
