Durability in Exposed Environments
Excellent resistance to weathering across external roof and deck surfaces.
Torch-On Bitumen Membranes
A proven waterproofing solution for exposed and high-traffic environments where durability and long-term performance are critical.
Installed using controlled heat application, the membrane bonds directly to the primed substrate to form a fully adhered, seamless waterproof barrier. Engineered to withstand UV exposure, thermal movement, and mechanical wear, torch-on systems are suitable for demanding commercial and residential projects, with manufacturer-backed warranties of up to 20 years when installed to specification.
Built For Performance In Harsh Conditions
Torch-on systems are engineered as a robust dual-layer membrane assembly, typically comprising a fully bonded base sheet and UV-stable cap sheet. This configuration provides long-term protection for structures exposed to weathering, foot traffic, and daily thermal cycles.
Every installation is aligned to manufacturer requirements to ensure compliance, performance, and eligibility for long-term warranty cover.
Key Benefits
Why torch-on systems remain a leading choice for high-demand waterproofing projects.

Installation Process
Methodical, manufacturer-aligned installation for long-term membrane performance.
-
1
Substrate Preparation and Priming
Surfaces are cleaned, dried, and prepared with a compatible primer to optimise adhesion.
-
2
Detailing at Penetrations
Drains, outlets, upturns, terminations, and penetrations are reinforced and sealed.
-
3
Base Layer Installation
The base sheet is torch-applied with controlled heat for full bond and a continuous waterproof layer.
-
4
Cap Sheet Application
A UV-resistant cap sheet is heat-welded over the base layer to form a robust dual-layer system.
-
5
Optional Top Finish / Traffic Coating
Where required, systems can include screeds, tiling, pedestal pavers, or anti-slip coatings.
