Elastomeric bitumen membrane roofing
At the heart of our expertise, Les Toitures Martin Lafleur offers a complete range of roofing services, including the installation of elastomeric bitumen membranes. In recent years, this type of coating has seen a significant rise in popularity, particularly for flat or slightly sloped roofs, for its many advantages.
Elastomeric bitumen membrane cladding is distinguished by its unique two-layer structure. On the one hand, the base layer provides robust waterproofing and, on the other, the top layer, studded with colored granules, offers additional protection against the sun's rays, which could otherwise damage the bitumen. This two-layer design contributes to the membrane's exceptional longevity.
One of the greatest advantages of elastomeric bitumen membrane is its low maintenance requirements. Its design has been specifically developed to minimize the need for maintenance, making life easier for homeowners and saving maintenance costs in the long term.
