Hot melt monolithic structural waterproofing systems are designed to provide an extremely durable, robust, self healing and very flexible solution to a variety of structures including:

• Paved or ballast roofs and terraces
• Car parks
• Podiums
• Green roofs
• Sub structures

There are major benefits in the specification and performance of a hot melt system, which has resulted in a considerable rise in its use, year on year and converted many mastic asphalt and built up bituminous advocates within the Industry to convert to this monolithic system.

Some of the main benefits include:
Durable – Designed to last the lifetime of the structure, meaning no future replacement costs to a building owner.
Monolithic – Applied as a hot liquid in with a reinforcement scrim, the waterproofing is fully bonded to the structure, thus eliminating any water tracking beneath the system.
Self healing – Product remains ‘live’ through its lifespan, allowing minor penetrations or cuts to self heal under a little pressure.
Zero falls – Impervious to ponding water and can be used as a tanking system, therefore it can be laid with no falls, eliminating the need for screeds to falls.
Fast to Install – When installed by Roofline trained operatives, hot melt is very quick to install and can waterproof large surface areas quickly and effectively and allow almost immediate access for other trades.
Phased construction – As a fully bonded system, no night joints are needed and areas can be phased to suit. Upstands can be installed first, giving incredible flexibility to a clients waterproofing programme.
Guarantee – Extensive warranties with insurance backing are available with these systems.
Economy of scale – Whole life costs of hot melt systems are very low, in particular when compared to alternative more traditional methods and Roofline have almost perfected very high productivity rates, resulting in lower labour costs.
