FIX-R Classic Torch on Felt

The FIX-R Classic Torch On Roofing System is intended as a torch-applied built up roofing system for flat and pitched roofs. FIX-R Classic membranes are ideal for new and the repair of existing felt and asphalt roofs. Coming with a 10 year guarantee, it’s a reliable and excellent value product.

FIX-R Classic Torch on Felt consists of reinforced bitumen membranes using tough polyester rot proof reinforcements with exceptional dimensional stability.

FIX-R Classic Capsheets consist of a polyester carrier coated with APP modified bitumen. The upper surface is finished with a factory applied choice of green, blue-grey, brown or black mineral granules and the lower surface has a sacrificial film which rapidly melts during the torching operation. A 90mm sacrificial film selvedge facilitates bonding of side laps.
