Asphalt roofing is one of the best waterproofing systems available for your roof. It is often referred to as ‘The King of Waterproofing’ due to its exceptional waterproofing qualities. This 100% recyclable carbon zero rated material has stood the test of time. It is one of the oldest roofing systems in existence and can boast a lifespan of more than 50 years.
As this waterproofing system is applied as a hot molten liquid it is perfect for complex detailing on flat roofs. The reason for this is it can mould perfectly around details such as soil vent pipes, ventilation units and upstands. This results in a 100% waterproof seamless roof.
Asphalt roofing can also be further customised for both heavy use and to prevent slipping. For example, an asphalt flat roof can be strengthened for the heavy traffic which you may find in loading bays or roof gardens by adding a layer of asphalt mixed with paving grit.
What Is Mastic Asphalt?
Mastic asphalt is made up of limestone aggregates bound together with either bitumen or modified bitumen. It may also contain Lake Asphalt from the famous asphalt lake in Trinidad. Mastic Asphalt which contains Lake Asphalt has better handling properties and performs better once applied. Once bounded mastic asphalt is a dense material which contains no voids which makes it perfect for waterproofing. It is not possible to compact mastic asphalt so it can only be spread using a specialist float or spatula.
