   Replacing the roofing felt on a Scout hall in Wales. Bituminous waterproofing systems are designed to protect residential and commercial buildings.Bitumen (asphalt or coal-tar pitch) is a material made up of organic liquids that are highly sticky, viscous, and waterproof. [1]

3. Waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproofing

   Many types of waterproof membrane systems are available, including felt paper or tar paper with asphalt or tar to make a built-up roof, other bituminous waterproofing, ethylene propylene diene monomer EPDM rubber, hypalon, polyvinyl chloride, liquid roofing, and more.

4. Bitumen - Wikipedia

   Other materials, such as recycled polymers (e.g., rubber tyres), may be added to the bitumen to modify its properties according to the application for which the bitumen is ultimately intended. A further 10% of global bitumen production is used in roofing applications, where its waterproofing qualities are invaluable.

5. Roof coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_coating

   This means a roof coating actually becomes the top layer of a composite roof membrane and underlying system. As such, the roof coating is the topmost layer of protection for the membrane, receiving the impact of sunlight (both infrared and ultraviolet (UV)), rain, hail and physical damage. Roof Coatings should not be confused with deck coatings.

6. Flat roof - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_roof

   EPDM rubber roof. Ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber most commonly used in single-ply roofing because it is readily available and simple to apply. Seaming and detailing has evolved over the years and is fast, simple and reliable with many membranes including factory applied tape, resulting in a faster installation.

7. Butyl rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyl_rubber

   It is crucial to the integrity of such roofs to avoid using harsh abrasive materials and petroleum-based solvents for their maintenance. Polyester fabric laminated to butyl rubber binder provides a single-sided waterproof tape that can be used on metal, PVC, and cement joints. It is used for repairing and waterproofing metal roofs.
