What is Reinforced Bituminous Membrane?
Reinforced bitumen membrane, often referred to as modified bitumen membrane or RBM is a versatile and popular roofing material that offers a range of benefits and uses in construction projects.
It is a composite material composed of bitumen (a sticky, black, and viscous material derived from crude oil) and a reinforcement layer, typically made from materials like polyester, fiberglass, or a combination of both. This combination results in a roofing material that is highly durable, weather-resistant, and easy to install.
Benefits of Reinforced Bituminous Membrane
Discover the numerous advantages of choosing Reinforced Bitumen for your project.
Reinforced bitumen membranes are known for their excellent durability and longevity. They are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, UV radiation, rain, snow, and hail.
These membranes have a high degree of flexibility, which allows them to adapt to the movement and settling of buildings without cracking or becoming damaged. This is particularly important for structures in earthquake-prone areas.
As the membrane is usually built up in layers, this offers the building increased protection from the elements.
Installation of reinforced bitumen membranes is relatively straightforward. They can be torch-applied, cold-applied, or self-adhered, depending on the specific type of membrane. This simplicity of installation can reduce labour costs and installation time.
Durability and Robustness:
Reinforced bitumen membranes are renowned for their durability and robustness. The combination of bitumen's water-resistant properties and the reinforcement layer's strength makes these membranes capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions, temperature fluctuations, and physical stresses. Properly installed and maintained bitumen membranes can have a of 30 years or more, depending on the quality of the materials and the level of maintenance.
Their versatility and ease of installation make them a popular choice for roofing and waterproofing applications in a wide range of construction projects, from residential homes to commercial buildings and infrastructure. Proper installation and regular maintenance are key to maximizing their lifespan and ensuring their continued performance.
Use Cases:
Flat and Low-Slope Roofs
Reinforced bitumen membranes are commonly used on flat and low-slope roofs in both residential and commercial buildings. Their waterproofing properties and flexibility make them suitable for these applications.
Green Roofs
These membranes can be used as the waterproofing layer under green roofing, providing an effective barrier while allowing for the growth of vegetation on the roof surface.
Terraces and Balconies
Reinforced bitumen membranes are often employed in areas such as terraces and balconies where there is a need for reliable waterproofing.
