Henkel Polybit Bituboard 1m X 2m X 3.2mm

Bituboard is non-biodegradable, weatherproof, rot-proof, and tough. It offers excellent resistance to chemicals and improved puncture resistance, making it suitable for various waterproofing applications.

Bituboard is available in multiple thicknesses: 3.2mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, and 6mm. The standard size for the 3.2mm board is 0.95m x 2m, while the 4mm board measures the same dimensions.

The application of Bituboard should occur when temperatures are between 5°C and 55°C. It can be fixed on waterproofing membranes using double-sided adhesive tape or by torching for torch-applied membranes, ensuring that supports are used until the adhesive sets.

When stored correctly in a dry, shaded area away from sunlight and heat sources, Bituboard has a shelf life of 12 months. It is crucial to keep it wrapped until ready for application to maintain its quality.

Yes, Bituboard is compatible with most waterproofing systems, particularly those based on bitumen sheet membranes and coatings as per BS 8102 standards.

During handling, Bituboard should be transported using cranes or forklifts to prevent damage. If boards are unloaded individually, they must be stacked on a flat surface or back onto pallets to avoid warping or damage.

Bituboard exhibits excellent chemical resistance, making it suitable for environments where exposure to various chemicals may occur. This property helps protect underlying waterproofing membranes effectively during construction processes.

Henkel Polybit Bituboard is a polymer-modified bitumen roofing board reinforced with fiberglass. It provides waterproofing, thermal insulation, and noise reduction, and is designed for roofing projects across residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. It can be used as a weatherproofing layer or roof underlayment on flat or low-slope roofs.

The board combines polymer-modified bitumen for waterproofing with a reinforced fiberglass net for strength and stability. It is UV resistant and weather-tough, lightweight and flexible for easy handling, and often features self-healing properties to help seal minor damages over time.

Polybit Bituboard typically offers higher tear strength, easier handling and installation, self-healing capabilities, and added insulation and noise reduction compared with traditional bitumen sheets, contributing to improved long-term performance.

Polybit Bituboard is available in a range of thicknesses and sheet sizes to fit different roof designs and climate conditions. To select the appropriate variant, consider roof span, expected loads, insulation needs, and local weather. Check the current product options on Fepy for exact availability.

Common applications include flat or low-slope roofs, commercial and industrial roofing projects, terraces and outdoor decks, and green roof systems. It can be used as a weatherproofing layer or as part of an overall roofing assembly to improve insulation and protection.

Installation generally involves preparing a clean, dry substrate, laying panels with appropriate overlaps, and securing them with mechanical fasteners or bonding adhesives as specified for the substrate. Joints are sealed with a compatible sealant, and once installed, the system is inspected for proper adhesion and weatherproofing. Always refer to the manufacturer’s installation guide for step-by-step instructions and best practices.

Polybit Bituboard is designed for roofing substrates such as metal, concrete, and wood decking. Substrates should be clean, dry, flat, and free of debris. Use primer or bonding agents as recommended and ensure the surface is compatible with the chosen fastening or adhesive method.
