What is the Elastomer Membrane?

Elastomeric membranes are roof coatings generally composed of two layers: a base coat for installation, and a top coat covered with fine ceramic granules that add both aesthetic appeal and anti-slip properties. You can choose the color of the granules to customize the appearance of your roof to suit your style and the environment of your home.

Renowned for its exceptional reliability and resistance, the elastomer membrane withstands both summer heat and harsh winters, making it particularly well-suited to Canadian climatic conditions.

How to install the Elastomer Membrane?

There are two main ways to install elastomeric membranes:

  1. Hot fusion: This technique uses a blowtorch to fuse the membrane layers together. Although effective, it carries a risk of fire, so precautions must be taken.
  2. Cold laying: A safer method, using self-adhesive parts between the layers. It is often recommended to minimize risks.
