WHAT IS TORCH-ON MEMBRANE? Torch-on membrane waterproofing is a type of building waterproofing solution composed of bitumen and a variety of modified polymers. When applied to the surface of a structure, it prevents moisture and liquid from seeping through — which when ignored, can negatively impact the integrity of a building over time. This type of waterproofing...

In projects where the risk of fire is high, torch-on membrane is not always the best option, but, until now, there hasn’t been a viable alternative. This year, an innovative solution is now available that negates the risk of fire. Here’s how to specify it.   One of the most commonly specified types of torch-on...

Modern techniques for waterproofing buildings have resulted in less leaky structures. One of the major advances in waterproofing has been the invention of torch-on membrane. This is mainly used on waterproofing flat roofs, works by using a substance such as polyurethane or bitumen, and heat-fusing (welding) different pieces of this substance together to form one continuous...

When it comes to small problems in the home that can rapidly escalate into major seepage, water damage like seepage or water leakage is a common and oft-ignored one. While it’s easy to think an innocuous leakage in the roof or bathroom tiles isn’t such a big deal, the reality is, over time a small...
