Shelterbit Torch applied waterproofing membrane
The Shelterbit range of waterproofing incorporates bituminous sheet membranes for a wide variety of roofing and tanking situations. The range comprises both APP and SBS torch applied products.
Shelterbit Vented Base Sheet
A 60gram/m2 fibreglass reinforced polymer APP modified bituminous membrane perforated with 40mm diameter holes. The sheet is covered with heat sensitive polythene film on both sides and is used as a base layer to allow dispersion of vapour in exposed bitumen sheet waterproofing systems.
Shelterbit Fibrebacked Base Sheet
A 150gram/m2 polyester backed and 50gram/m2 fibreglass reinforced modified bituminous membrane normally installed as a base layer in a multi layer Shelterbit torchon system.Designed for application to heat and flame sensitive substrates such as T&G sarking or thermal insulation, it is also suited for use as a base layer on rough or uneven surfaces, or over sound existing membranes such as rubber, PVC, bitumen, acrylic and polyurethane. It can be loose laid, mechanically fastened, adhered with adhesives or laid in hot melt bitumen using the pour and roll method.
Shelterbit Fibrepol 120
A 2.5mm thick 120gram/m2 combined reinforced (polyester and fibreglass) APP modified bituminous torchon membrane. It is used as a base layer or mid layer in a multilayer fully bonded or semi bonded bituminous membrane system.
Shelterbit Fibrepol 180
A 3.5mm thick 180gram/m2 combined reinforced (polyester and fibreglass) APP modified bituminous torchon membrane. It is used as a single layer tanking membrane for horizontal and vertical applications and may be also used in multilayer membrane systems as a base sheet or as a plain finished cap sheet.
Shelterbit Mineral
A 4mm thick 180gram/m2 combined reinforced (polyester and fibreglass) APP modified bituminous torchon membrane with a mineral slate finish. Designed as a cap layer in exposed membrane systems. Available in Charcoal, Grey, Green, Red and off -White.
Shelterbit Garden Membrane
A 3.5mm thick 180gram/m2 combined reinforced (polyester and fibreglass) APP modified bituminous torchon membrane with root inhibitors to prevent damage from plant roots. Shelterbit Garden has been designed for waterproofing rooftop garden landscapes and planter box areas and can be used in single or multilayer systems.
Shelterbit HD Bridge Membrane
A heavy duty 5 mm thick 300gram/m2 non woven polyester reinforced APP modified bituminous torchon membrane designed for waterproofing bridges and carpark decks. The heavy duty reinforcement allows hot road asphalt to be applied directly to the installed membrane.
Shelterbit SBS Membrane
A 3.5mm thick 180gram/m2 combined reinforced (polyester and fibreglass) SBS modified bituminous torchon membrane. Used in single or multilayer systems in horizontal and vertical tanking applications. Shelterbit SBS is ideal for use in winter application or in colder climates, but must not be used as an exposed cap sheet without protection.
Shelterbit Membranes are marketed in NZ by Ardex.
