How-To Videos: How to Install a Flameless Roofing System?

Flameless solutions eliminate the use of a blowtorch in favour of membranes that are self-adhesive, mechanically fastened or adhesive-bonded, thus offering a simple and safe application method. Increasingly widespread in the construction industry in Canada, they are particularly suitable for continuously occupied buildings, such as hospitals, schools or factories with 24/7 production, where it is essential to avoid the risks associated with flame and VOCs. Explore our how-to videos to discover different methods for installing flameless systems.

Cold-applied, self-adhesive membranes for low-slope roofs offer tangible benefits to contractors, architects and managers of institutional, commercial, and industrial buildings in Canada:

• Increased safety: less risk of fire and more secure working conditions for teams.
• Solutions suitable for occupied buildings: ideal for hospitals, schools and factories that cannot interrupt their operations.
• Simplified application: no need for propane tanks or complex equipment.
• Increased efficiency on construction sites: quick installation and fewer logistical steps.
• Potential savings: reduced insurance costs and optimized construction expenses thanks to simpler implementation.
• Year-round installation: some systems can be installed at low temperatures (down to 14 °F [-10 °C]) when appropriate methods are used.
• Proven performance: products tested according to the CSA A123.21 standard, which measures the wind uplift resistance of roofing systems.

These easy-to-follow videos provide step-by-step instructions on how to apply self adhesive membranes and adhesive-bonded membranes to different areas of a roof.

This video series presents best practices for installing self-adhesive membranes. You will learn how to install the base sheet and cap sheet membranes, both on the main surface and on technical details such as drains, vents and parapets.
