Bitumen membranes are a type of building material used in roofing and waterproofing applications. They are composed of a blend of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics, such as polyester or fiberglass, and are typically applied in two or more layers. Bitumen membranes are highly durable and resistant to extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and chemical exposure. They are also relatively lightweight and easy to install, making them a popular choice for many roofing and waterproofing projects. Bitumen membranes are used in a variety of applications, including flat roofs, pitched roofs, balconies, terraces, and foundations. They are also used in the construction of green roofs, which are becoming increasingly popular due to their environmental benefits. Some of the major companies in the bitumen membrane market include Sika, GAF, Johns Manville, Carlisle, Firestone, and IKO. These companies offer a wide range of bitumen membranes, including self-adhesive, torch-on, and cold-applied membranes. Show Less Read more
