CARLISLE, Europe’s leading manufacturer of high performance roofing systems, has broadened the choice the company can offer specifiers and contractors in the UK with the launch of its SURE-MELT bituminous waterproofing system.
A durable hot melt waterproofing system for flat roofs, podium decks and green roofs, SURE-MELT adds to Carlisle Construction Materials Ltd portfolio of roofing systems for the UK market, which includes EPDM, TPO and liquid waterproofing systems.
SURE-MELT is a multi-layer hot melt system developed to provide a cost-effective and durable option for new build construction projects. Ideal for buried applications, including green/blue roofs and warm roofs, the system provides effective protection from water ingress, mitigating the risk of any costly remediation works and delivering an extended, low maintenance service life.
SURE-MELT is a polymer-modified bitumen compound, which is hot-applied in two layers to provide a hardwearing, seamless waterproofing membrane with a minimum thickness of 6mm. Sure-Melt comes with a choice of protection sheets to further enhance the durability and versatility of the system. To further enhance its versatility, there is a root resistant protection sheet for green and blue roofs.
CARLISLE has developed a complete SURE-MELT system, enabling specifiers to tailor a roof build-up for their project using compatible products with market leading guarantee options. The system includes bituminous primer, reinforcement fleece, hot melt compound with a choice of protection sheets.
SURE-MELT system includes choice of protection sheets, which can be torch-on or rolled into warm SURE-MELT membrane. For green roofs the system includes a root resistant protection sheet which has root inhibitors and a charcoal slate mineral finish that acts as an additional barrier to prevent root ingress.
Architects and specifiers now have a powerful new waterproofing solution in Carlisle® SURE-MELT. The system is monolithic and therefore has no vulnerable joints; this results in a robust, hard wearing waterproofing. Specifiers can confidently choose SURE-MELT for a wide range of applications, including inverted roofs, podium decks, terraces and green roofs.
“We’re excited to introduce SURE-MELT in the UK,” says Allen Coldrake, Sales and Technical Director at Carlisle. “This system offers exceptional performance, low whole life costs and outstanding buildability benefits that reduce the risk of installation errors. Thanks to its ease and speed of application and superior robustness, SURE-MELT perfectly complements the quality and performance expected from the Carlisle range.”
