Product Excellence Award winner Profiles Pyrobar is only available through Icopal to IMA members.
This waterproofing system features SYNTAN Red vapour dispersion technology that replaces the conventional sanded surface.
When the underlay membrane is bonded to the insulation, resin-free channels disperse vapour pressure over the entire roof area, eliminating blistering and premature failing of the waterproofing.
This innovative new system provides the technology to complete a quality roof system quickly, making big energy savings while keeping the entire roof structure safe from fire.
One major breakthrough is that Pyrobar underlay requires 50% less torching, providing the opportunity for significant improvements in speed of installation.
