Application

  • The SURE-MELT® system is suitable for inverted roofs and buried applications, including green roofs, and it can be used as part of a warm roof build-up.
  • Suitable for new build projects and for high-rise residential developments.
  • Compliant with fire safety requirements for tall buildings.

Description

SURE-MELT® is a triple protection waterproofing system, with two layers of hot melt bituminous membrane, a reinforcement layer and a protection sheet providing unbeatable robustness and durability and is designed to last a lifetime of the building or the structure to which it is applied to.


Features and benefits:

  • Robust waterproofing protection.
  • Ease of application.
  • Versatile system.
  • Cost effective specification.
  • Excellent root resistance.
  • Low maintenance.
  • Robust and resilient with a 6 mm hot melt layer and a 2–4 mm protection sheet.
  • Monolithic for seamless protection with no vulnerable joints.
  • Simple to install with low risk of installation errors.

Waterproof covering

-

First layer

-

Type

SURE-MELT® Bituminous Waterproofing Compound.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Polymer-modified bitumen compound is hot applied in two layers to provide a hardwearing, seamless waterproofing membrane with a thickness of minimum 6 mm and permanent adhesion to the substrate.
  • Available in 14 kg blocks, packaged in dispersible film.

Attachment

Bitumen-based bonding compounds.

Intermediate layer

-

Type

SURE-MELT® Reinforcement Fleece.

Guidance for specification option:

  • High-strength polyester spun bond thermally-bonded fleece with a point-embossed surface.
  • Point-embossed surface helps to provide increased friction between the layers of the membrane.
  • Available in a 1 x 200 m length roll.

Protection layer

SURE-MELT® CPS.

Guidance for specification option:

  • High-performance, polymer modified bitumen, sand-faced protection sheet, available as a 2 kg and 4 kg membrane.
  • The protection sheet is rolled into the SURE-MELT® bituminous liquid membrane enabling it to fully bond to the hot melt layer as the system cures. 

SURE-MELT® CPT.

Guidance for specification option:

  • High-performance, polymer modified bitumen, mineral-faced protection sheet, available in 2 kg and 4 kg membrane, which is installed using a torch over the cured hot melt layers.
  • The underside of this protection sheet has a heat sensitive film which rapidly melts during the torch on installation.
  • The film also prevents the roll from sticking together in storage.  

SURE-MELT® CPM-5.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Root-resistant 5 kg protection sheet containing a chemical root retardant and a polyester reinforcement carrier.
  • Charcoal slate mineral finish that acts as an additional barrier to prevent root ingress.
  • The chemical additive is specifically designed for SURE-MELT® bituminous waterproofing system, making it iSuitable for use under living roofs, podium gardens, and other landscaped areas.
