Waterproofing membrane for flat roof

Fibertex nonwovens are used as a support material or backing for PVC, TPO or EPDM roofing membranes. 
These materials, which are based on polyester or polypropylene fibers, are available from 60-500 gsm, up to 600 cm wide.

Fibertex nonwovens can be calandered, thermofixed and thermobonded to provide excellent dimensional stability at high temperatures, with an incomparable weight and thickness regularity. 

Apart from our standard roofing range, we also manufacture products with fire retardant characteristics and others which have been coated with a hot-melt glue for the convenience of self-adhesiveness.
