TORCHING
GUIDELINES
The
underside of the membrane should be torched just enough to
superficially melt the bitumen. Excessive heating may damage the
reinforcement. Overlaps should be re-heated from the top and
resealed with a trowel to ensure seam integrity.
For
details of installation methods and flashing requirements, consult
the relevant BITUMAT Design and Installation Manual.
FINISHES
GLASFLAME is available in two basic finishes:
- Black finish with polyethylene surfaces for covered
applications.
- Granule surfacing for exposed applications.
- Aluminum faced finish (3 mm only)
