Advanced Flat Roof Waterproofing Systems

How a building is to be used and constructed are key factors in the selection of the correct roof waterproofing system - the options are as varied as the requirements and all must meet current UK Building Regulations Part B for fire protection.

There is a Bauder waterproofing solution for every flat roof situation, whether the membrane coverings are bituminous-based, plastic or resinous. We offer a range of insulations including PIR, XPS, VIP, cellular glass or mineral wool specified in accordance with the requirements of the project. A sustainable rooftop drainage system can be incorporated into some designs and we can add additional sustainable upgrades such as a simple green roof, the most complex recreational facility, or even photovoltaic arrays atop your roof's waterproofing. Browse our range of roof waterproofing systems below, or get in contact with us and your local technical manager will guide you through the best Bauder waterproofing options to meet your needs.

Bitumen Membrane Systems
Our long-established and fully integrated roof systems incorporate SBS modified elastomeric bitumen membranes and highly efficient PIR insulation.
Single Ply Systems
Our single ply systems are ideal for lightweight, fast track and cost effective construction projects. The systems provide solutions that are durable, resistant to the natural elements and able to support extensive green roofs.
Cold Applied Liquid Systems
Our cold applied liquid systems are based on the most advanced PU and PMMA technology. They are simple to install, fast curing and long lasting; making them suitable for use in all kinds of flat roof and surfacing applications.
Hot Melt Structural Waterproofing Systems
Our hot melt roof systems are ideally suited to be utilised as a waterproofing system beneath paved or ballasted surfacing, car parks, podiums, plazas, green roofs and substructures.
Accessories
As a responsible manufacturer and specialist, it is important to us to work with other key manufacturers that produce accompanying rooftop products such as rooflights, outlets and trims, for which their installation may affect the integrity of our waterproofing.
Insulation
Bauder is one of the biggest manufacturers of polyurethane rigid foam, an insulation material with outstanding qualities. We also include vacuum insulation panels, mineral fibre insulation, EPS and XPS insulants for specification within our flat roof, podium, balcony or terrace waterproofing systems.


Industry safe installation guidance

Safe2Torch industry initiative
In line with industry safe practice our bituminous waterproofing systems feature torch-free detailing to give versatile, safe installation techniques for all roof types, site conditions and client's budget. This approach supports the National Federation of Roofing Contractors' initiative entitled 'Safe2Torch' which was launched in July 2017 and for which a guidance document was published recommending best practice to the whole of the construction industry.

Roof survey and diagnostics

Roof surveys are carried out as a part of the refurbishment service to determine the true condition of the existing roof.  This allows us to take the correct remedial action to ensure the best suited waterproofing system is selected for a project.
