What’s So Special About High-Tech Pvc Membrane?

Here at High-Tech Membrane we offer the very best in flat roof provision

In the past flat roofing has been plagued with problems. Traditionally flat roofs were constructed with timber decking fixed to the roof joists and covered with mineral felt and often stone chippings. However this method was very susceptible to weather damage and over time could lead to repairs costing hundreds of pounds to put right.

Here at High-Tech Membrane, Basildon’s flat roofing experts, we offer the very best in flat roof provision – single ply roofing. This method has stood the test of time over the last four decades and carries the highest of accreditations amongst experts worldwide.

High-tech PVC membranes will protect against the very worst of British weather. The titanium dioxide top layer provides the optimum UV resistance and is solar reflective. The surface lacquer is also easy-to-clean and won’t attract any moss or algae growth.

And because the installation is unaffected by climate conditions, here at High-Tech Membrane we can install your new roof at any time of the year, making it a perfect solution for these winter months. The membrane is also secured to the roof structure which gives you maximum protection from wind uplift.

All joints and details are welded to those areas of your roof where, in the past, conventional flat roofing methods may have broken down.

To achieve a great flat roof we swear by the following five steps:

Step 1. The waterproof Titanium Dioxide top layer of your flat roof.

Step 2. Securing of the high tech membranes over a separation fleece barrier.

Step 3. Lap joints welded and waterproofing of roofing fixtures.

Step 4. Steel reinforced details, unique seal, waterproof wall joint, and prime-sealed up stands.

Step 5. Metal trims coated in PVC roof membrane for a watertight, storm resistant, leak proof roof.

Once these steps have been carried out we guarantee that the whole of your roof will be 100% watertight, storm resistant and guaranteed never to leak
