Information Paper 7/95 Bituminous roofing membranes: performance in use
Publication Year

Abstract
Discusses a laboratory test measuring the cold bending temperature of a wide range of bituminous roofing sheets, and the implications for current site practice. The results suggest that roofing sheets which have a base of rag (organic fibre), glass fibre or 350g/m² non-woven polyester coated with oxidised bitumen may not be the best choice of material when forming details. The paper recommends the use of a lighter-weight polyester base, e.g. 250g/m², and polymer-modified bitumen coatings for the formation of details.
