Why Self-Adhere?
No roofing contractor will argue the durability benefits of multi-ply (multiple layer) bituminous (asphaltic) roofing – it’s been protecting properties and the assets within for over 100 years. But the traditional methods of application are either laborious, pose higher safety risk or smell – often disturbing building occupants. Self-adhered modified asphalt roofing delivers the benefits of this time-tested roofing material without the challenges. And in addition to being faster to install, which we’ve proven, it’s easier to learn.
Flintlastic SA has been the leading self-adhered solution for almost 20 years. It’s bond strength is unparalleled as is the support we’ve put behind it. Whether roofing a residence or commercial building, learn why more contractors choose Flintlastic SA.
