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 reheated 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.
