Hot Melt Roofing

Hot melt waterproofing systems have been synonymous with reliability and performance in the UK for over four decades. Today, many distinguished buildings in Ireland also benefit from hot melt roofing systems, enjoying their numerous advantages, including exceptionally high performance, excellent life expectancy, and competitive installation costs.
The term “Hot Melt” refers to a liquid membrane that is hot-applied directly to a prepared structural surface. This process creates a fully bonded, seamless, monolithic layer that adapts to the building’s shape, providing an effective and long-lasting waterproofing solution.
