Four storeys up, a building full of people, a client that wants you
straight in and straight out with minimum disruption and absolutely
no hiccups. This is an all-too-familiar story for the roofing
contractor which is why you want to be working with the safest and
most practical products you can lay your hands on.
Super-smart membranes that will keep that roof watertight for
decades to come are the perfect choice.
Rhepanol fk, SIG Design & Technology’s single-ply membrane, has
proved its worth time and again, with some 90 million sq m of the
membrane installed worldwide over the last 50 years.
Suitable for both over-roofing and new build, Rhepanol’s success is
not just down to its safety credentials but also its ease of
installation.
Its unique self-sealing edge and Gripfix system means installers
follow a simple and safe three-step application: roll out the
membrane, remove the tape to seal the joints and roll over the seam.
There are no naked flames and installation is quick, clean and
simple.
The membrane comes in various roll widths, making them easy to
handle and store on the roof while working. Wider roll options can
make application easier because there are fewer joints while shorter
widths provide options for efficient coverage.
What’s more, SIG Design & Technology’s Pro20 spray or roller-applied
liquid waterproofing, which is compatible with standard grey
Rhepanol, is really useful when roofing those hard to reach areas
and intricate detailing. The Pro20 top coat has been colour matched
to the grey of Rhepanol so they make an excellent visual match.
With three types of Rhepanol membrane available, roofers have even
greater choice to meet customer requirements for sustainable
buildings.
• Rhepanol fk is a versatile single ply membrane that is perfect for
new build and refurbishment, including over-roofing.
• Rhepanol hg has been developed for green roofs. It takes all the
benefits of fk and customizes them for green roofs by making both
the membrane and seams completely root and rhizome resistant. This
prevents damage to the waterproofing under a green roof and no
further protection is required. The membrane has achieved full FLL
certification and can be used for intensive, extensive and
landscaped green roofs.
• Rhepanol fk white has been introduced for solar panelled roofs.
This membrane not only gives outstanding results on sealing, weather
resistance and flexibility, but, because it’s white, it maximises
solar rays back into solar panels. It is permanently resistant to UV
radiation and provides an anti-slip underlay for photovoltaic
systems.
And finally, liquid Rhepanol comes in a choice of copper, green and
other finishes and is a great way to add colour and distinction to
grey roofs. Liquid Rhepanol is painted on and becomes absorbed into
the membrane to ensure the surface won’t flake.
Rhepanol roofs are backed with the SIG plc guarantee, the perfect
solution for peace of mind. Membranes are designed to last for up to
40 years provided they are installed in line with good practice and
receive regular routine maintenance.
All SIG Design & Technology roofing systems can only be installed by
trained and licensed contractors.
