CONCRETE ROOFS – TORCH-ON WATERPROOFING
Torch On Waterproofing, also known as the torch-down roof, is one of the common roofing types used on flat or concrete roofs. When installed correctly, it can last from 15 to 20 years. This makes it a cost-effective roof for commercial businesses and the homeowner.
How long does the torch on waterproofing last? If you’re looking to waterproof your flat roof you should consider applying a Torch On water-resistant membrane. It lasts for up to 40 years when installed properly.
Torch On Waterproofing requires a torch to heat fuse asphalt material directly onto the roof. This creates a waterproof barrier. It is often used on flat roofs where rain water can collect and sit for extended periods of time.
4mm Torch-on Bitumen waterproofing systems are trafficable, so you can comfortably and safely walk over the system, once it has been properly laid.
