Our extensive range of torch applied cap sheets allows us to specify bespoke systems to meet any budgetary or performance standard. Garland’s unique StressPly® technology provides critical margins of difference in comparison with generic modified bitumen products. The Garland difference starts with select raw materials. All StressPly® products use a significantly greater proportion of high quality polymer content (up to 22%) for superior low temperature flexibility.
To compliment our extensive StressPly® range Garland offers a choice of torch-applied base sheets to choose from. We believe that one product does not suit every application and it’s this rationale that drives us to design and manufacture what we think could possibly be the most comprehensive choice available today. All Torch Flex base sheets are manufactured to the highest specifications using advanced manufacturing methods.
Garland’s HPR vented base sheet is a heavy duty fibreglass mat, the membrane is then perforated with holes that allow bleed out from the HPR torch base sheet to create a bond to the substrate. This application provides a consistent, uniform spot attachment of the membrane and also provides for venting of pressurised gases (trapped moisture) beneath the roofing membrane that might cause blisters and reduce the life of the roof system.
Designed to solve the problem where insulation boards must be bonded to the vapour barrier. Torch Flex Ultra Bond features thermoplastic adhesive indentations to the top face of the membrane which melt quickly when torched forming a strong bond. No installation time is wasted waiting for cold bond adhesives to set or risk of burns when using traditional molten bitumen along with a significant reduction in waste and pollution.
This 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.
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.
