Myths About Flameless Roofing Solutions

As flameless roofing systems like self-adhered membranes gain popularity, misconceptions still linger. In this article, we’ll clarify the top myths about these innovative roofing options, providing you with accurate information to make informed decisions.

Self-Adhesive Systems Are Less Reliable Than Torch-Applied Systems

Fact:

Self-adhesive systems are not only reliable but can also surpass the performance of torch-applied systems. They are highly resistant to environmental factors, require no maintenance post-installation, and offer excellent durability.

  • Key Features:
    • High-performance membranes with enhanced dimensional stability.
    • Superior resistance to elongation and puncture.
    • Maintenance-free once installed.

Self-Adhesive Systems Require More Installation Time

Fact:

Contrary to this belief, self-adhesive products can significantly reduce installation time. Technologies like DUO SELVEDGE and SOPRAMATIC enhance sealing quality and speed, eliminating the need for thermofusion.

  • Installation Advantages:
    • Quicker wall flashing setups.
    • No need for thermofusion, simplifying the installation process.

Cold-Applied Systems Lack Adequate Warranty Coverage

Fact:

Flameless roofing solutions come with robust warranty options that ensure long-term protection and satisfaction.

  • Warranty Details:
    • Comprehensive coverage including materials and accessory quality.
    • Protection against water infiltration and other defects.

Inadequate for Protected Membrane Roofs (PMR)

Fact:

Self-adhesive systems are effective even for PMR roofing configurations, thanks to products like the 2-in-1 SOPRASMART ISO HD, which is designed for high efficiency and adaptability on inverted roofs.

  • Benefits for PMR:
    • Enhanced safety with low VOC content and no fumes.
    • Versatility and high performance under extreme weather conditions.
    • Convenient installation that fits various roofing challenges.
