What is the Self-Adhesive
Roofing Technology?
Self-Adhered Roofing Membrane Technology is a modern roofing solution designed for quick, clean, and secure roofing installations. It is transforming the way we do roofings in the US.
These membranes feature an adhesive layer pre-applied to the underside, eliminating the need for external adhesives or heat torches.
The peel-and-stick approach not only streamlines the installation process but also ensures a strong, durable bond that stands up to diverse weather conditions.
Ideal for both new construction and refurbishments, self-adhered membranes offer a clean, safe, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional roofing methods.
