Waterproof membrane IKO Stormshield

You may not know that 80% of roofs in North America use bitumen covered with stone for roofing. In recent years, Bitumen roofing sheets have been quite familiar to everyone in the Vietnamese market when participating in many significant works and projects. One of the accessories that come with a bitumen roof is the IKO Stormshield Waterproof Membrane.

Overview of IKO Stormshield

The IKO Stormshield Waterproof Membrane is composed of an elastic, non-woven fiberglass sheet that is permeable and coated with adjustable bitumen to a thickness of approximately 1.05mm. For slipping prevention, the film is coated with a fine mineral substance. And underneath is a silicone film that protects the self-adhesive base and helps you can be handled it easily during use. 

Application of IKO Stormshield waterproof membrane on the roof system

With the IKO Bitumen roofing system, after cleaning the roof surface (concrete, wood, OSB, etc.), the construction worker will apply a layer of water-based Primer 7151 to stabilize the roof shape. Followed by spreading the coating IKO Stormshield waterproofing membrane before the bitumen roofing finished roofing sheet.

Because of the application on the roof system, it will be affected by temperature, humidity, and many other natural factors. Conventional waterproofing membranes will be challenging to match the bitumen roof system. Because when the temperature is high, the normal waterproofing membrane will expand too much, causing deformation of the roof shape or dew when high humidity causes damage to a roof structure. With its reinforced mineral particles, IKO Stormshield will minimize these problems.
