Description

ShieldFLEX R waterproofing system is a polymer modified roofing grade of mastic asphalt, specifically designed for flat roofs and podiums and has been designed, tested and certified as being durable enough to exceed the design life of any roof in which it may be installed while achieving a fire rating of Broof(t4). The polymer modification allows the product to retain its integrity at lower temperatures, and on areas with more movement than that which conventional roofing grades of Mastic asphalt could withstand. When installed correctly, ShieldFLEX R is an extremely durable waterproofing system and allows for far greater traffic and usage than other waterproofing systems. A variant with an unbroken terrazzo finish is available for internal use.
