Roofing Membranes Underlay Membranes Torch Flex Ultra Vent
Torch Flex Ultra Vent is a high performance torch underlay, ultilsing adhesive strips on the underside, which allow for trapped vapour to disperse throughout the roof system.
Torch Flex Ultra Vent has been developed to combine modern polymer technology with proven roof design for torch applications.
Torch Flex Ultra Vent is a high performance torch base sheet, which utilises elastoplastomeric low melting adhesive stripes on the underside that when bonded to the top of the insulation boards, allow any trapped water vapour to evenly disperse evenly throughout the ultra vent underlay membrane, therefore eliminating the build up of pressure within the system ultimately creating a blister.
The unique adhesive qualities of the thermo plastic bitumen strips also ensure bonding qualities equal to that of a traditional roofing system using conventional venting underlay.
The underside of the membrane is coated with a light burn off backer, which identifies the correct application temperature to the installer; therefore leaving the areas between the thermo plastic areas clear of any bitumen or bleed out, allowing the sheet to ‘breath’. By using Garlands Torch Flex Ultra Bond metal lined Vapour barrier in conjunction with Torch Flex Ultra Vent and StressPly® membranes we are able to create a roof system that has a reduced installation cost but does not compromise the quality and life expectancy of the completed system. Torch Flex Ultra Vent is reinforced with a high strength Polyester scrim, which adds strength to the completed system.
With The Garland Company’s total commitment to providing, innovative products technical design and workmanship to the highest standard it is natural that all systems and applications are backed up by long standing, credible guarantees.
In the knowledge that the correct installation of systems is a critical step in ensuring long term performance, Garland will only recommend contracting companies whose attitudes towards site performance and customer care are in line with the same high principles as their own.
In order to fully understand your project, your Garland Regional Technical Manager will thoroughly inspect your existing roof. Examining the construction and condition of the insitu system as well as identifying any associated construction problems.
