Torch Down Membrane – Smooth Surface

Smooth surface: an APP Modified Bitumen torch down membrane; is designed for use as a roofing membrane over various types of substrates for both new construction and reroofing installations. It is suitable for most low sloped roof decks and may be used for roof system flashings including wall treatments, based flashings and field flashings.

The membrane is installed over a modified fiberglass base sheet that is fastened to the roof deck with mechanical fasteners.

After installation, this smooth surface membrane should weather for approximately 30–60 days prior to application of a manufacturer approved roof coating. The most common coating is a fibered aluminum coating. This coating is normally applied with a roller. This coating meets the UV and fire rating required by the roof membrane manufacturer for it’s materials warranty. It should be inspected yearly and re-coated approximately every 5-6 years, depending on condition.

Torch Down Membrane – Granulated Surface

Same modified bitumen torch down membrane as the smooth surface, however a mineral granule surface is applied during the manufacturing process. This granulated surface replaces the need for the repeated coating of the smooth surface membrane, and meets the UV and fire rating required for the manufacturer’s material warranty. Approximately nine colors are available to choose from and is often a more aesthetic option than the reflective coating on the smooth surface membrane. This option of torch down membrane does not need reapplication as with the coating for the smooth surface membrane.
