Reinforced bituminous membranes, also known as RBM, are the most common type of flat roof waterproofing system used throughout the UK.
This system is seen across all commercial and industrial sectors for buildings such as schools, businesses, etc. This method consists of multiple layers of bitumen roofing sheets, adhered through either hot bitumen or torch on applications. Offering a range of options with varying qualities to accommodate diverse project and construction needs.
The minimum warranty period is 10 years, depending on the manufacturer. But roofing specialists believe that torch-on felt can survive for more than 30 years in many circumstances if the roof is well maintained.
