Torch-on felt roofing has come a long way since the traditional ‘pour and roll’ systems. Many of these would dry out with age and sun damage, offering a low life expectancy. As a result, manufacturers have made sure roofing solutions keep up with the times. So, today’s products are easier, safer and more cost effective than using a hot bitumen pot to roll out regular felt.
Torch-on bitumen felt roof system technology includes SBS and APP-modified torch-applied roofing systems. SPS is generally easier to install as it requires less heat. The felts are sold as a roll and applied using a blow torch, which melts the back of the felt onto the surface. Systems are available in a wide choice of colours to best suit a project.
