Flat roof waterproofing made of bitumen has proven itself for many decades and has been continuously further developed. Flat roofs are exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations (up to 100 °C over the course of the year), as are various types of moisture (building moisture, rainwater, temporarily standing water, moisture used by use) and mechanical stresses from the subsoil or from above, e.g. due to walking/driving, greening or hailstorm.

System: The compatibility and compatibility of the various component layers with each other must be checked. However, most manufacturers also offer tested systems for entire roof structures for the different requirements, so that there is certainty of layer compatibility for their planning.
Construction: In order to find the appropriate waterproofing structure and the suitable products for the respective project, an analysis of the framework conditions is first necessary, taking into account the applicable regulations. Examples: What use is planned for the roof surfaces? What is the substructure? Which application class is applicable? What roof pitch is planned? Is root penetration protection necessary? Which connection details and roof structures must be taken into account?
