These membranes, known for their durability, flexibility, and weather resistance, play a vital role in safeguarding buildings from the elements. Each membrane type offers unique characteristics and applications that cater to different requirements, making the decision-making process complex yet important for the success of any roofing project.​ 

Being flame-free, these roofing systems have become an increasingly important solution to modern flat roofing requirements, significantly mitigating the danger of roof fires. They can be used with traditional torch-on systems to detail areas at a high risk of combustion. There is also increasing demand for their use as a standalone system, completely removing the requirement to use a naked flame during installation. This has proven to be especially popular with the education, healthcare and emergency services sectors, which due to the sensitivities of their sites, often have a strict zero flame policy

By exploring the nuances of these membranes and considering essential tips for selection, one can guarantee a well-informed decision that aligns with long-term roofing goals.
