EshaFlex System

Quick Links

Reinforced Bitumen Membrane EshaFlex_logo SBS modified Reinforced Bitumen Membranes for use as partially bonded, fully bonded or mechanically fixed roof waterproofing on zero falls, flat or pitched roofs. Suitable for refurbishment, new build and green roof applications. EshaFlex membranes are BBA Certified for ‘in excess of 30 years’ and can achieve a BRE Green Guide to Specification A+ ratings. EshaFlex membranes feature Groove Technology®, a patented underside finish that ensures the heat acts only where it is needed, reducing warming of the membrane, increasing melting of the PE foil. In application this means that EshaFlex membranes require up to 45 grams per m² (25%) less gas, reduce CO2 production by up to 168 g/m² reducing installation times by up to 30%.

EshaFlex Overlay System

EshaFlex Overlay Systems provide a cost effective way to upgrade an existing bituminous or asphalt roof with limited disruption or alteration. They are installed over a suitably prepared existing roof surface, a Radmat Total Care survey is required to assess condition and suitability.

Click on the tabs below to see the options for Overlay Systems.

Partially Bonded Single Layer System

APPLICATION

Use when overlaying existing bituminous or asphalt waterproofing systems that have suffered failures or are likely to contain water or water vapour.

WATERPROOFING

Apply Esha Primer to all existing surfaces followed by EshaFlex TK60 black Mineral reinforced bitumen membrane torch bonded. All upstands will require a primary layer of EshaFlex 370 Plain base layer and EshaFlex 370 Black Mineral as the Cap Sheet.
