The bituminous waterproofing membranes are used to waterproof concrete roofs. It comes in rolls of different lengths and thicknesses. As the rolls are installed using blowtorches, one must use fire precautions and all safety measures against fire burns.
Bituminous waterproofing membranes are waterproofing membranes made of bitumen or asphalt that is commonly used for waterproofing walls, columns, concrete, and roofs. Bituminous waterproofing membranes consist of a dense waterproof flexible layer over the surface to be waterproofed. The waterproof layer is often reinforced by scrim fabric or fiberglass mats to ensure that water does not get underneath the membrane. Bituminous waterproofing can be applied similarly to asphalt roof shingles or single-ply roof systems. Commonly the waterproof layer is rolled on which saves time but often requires more adhesive than other methods such as spraying or concrete dipping.
How do we apply a bituminous waterproofing membrane?
The method to apply a bituminous waterproofing membrane is chosen to match the waterproofing membrane manufacturer’s recommendations for installation. A waterproof element, usually a fiberglass mesh known as “battens” or “batten tape”, is cemented along the bottom of waterproofing membrane seams before the waterproofing material is applied over them.
The first step in waterproofing a roof using bituminous waterproof membranes is to remove any existing coatings such as silicone or other waterproofing layers. All old coatings must be removed because the presence of these products can affect the performance and life span of the new waterproof membrane coating and it may void its warranty. This residue must be completely removed from the sub-roof deck surfaces by mechanical means or abrasion.
Torch applied bituminous membrane waterproofing underlayment is typically installed at a temperature of at least 50°F (10°C). Some waterproofing membrane manufacturers tack-coat cure waterproofing roofing underlayment at temperatures as low as 35 °F (2 °C), however, this is typically done only in cold climates.

What are the applications of a bituminous waterproofing membrane?
Bituminous waterproof membranes are used on residential and commercial roofing projects such as flat roofs, low slope roof waterproofing, medium sloped roofs, and steeply sloped roofs.
Self Adhesive Membranes
Bituminous waterproofing membrane also comes as a self-adhesive membrane that does not use the torch apply method. The self-adhesive bituminous membranes are composed of polymers and asphalt. The adhesion is protected with a thin film of paper, which is removed during its installation. As there is no need for torching, it is non-disruptive and required fewer labor complications.
Both types of membranes have commonly 2 to 4mm thicknesses that act as a watertight shield against the rainwater. The membrane properties include UV and chemical resistivity and flexibility.
For professional installation of such membranes call us at 0509115601 or email us at info@ssyedtech.ae. We have over 10 years of experience in the installation of the bituminous waterproofing membrane.
