Derbigum also offers one of the fastest, most economic and simple installation procedures available for any high performance system.
Contractors can choose from five different installation methods, including those that do not require the use of hot bitumen, flame or hot air gun - thereby reducing the risk of fire during installation and increasing site safety.
