INTRODUCTION
In order to meet the technical requirements for their use, flat roofs are classified according to their load-bearing elements and areas of application.
What's more, they must be technically capable of withstanding all thermal hazards and the various stresses of different substrates.
The installation of waterproofing materials must be adapted to the different substrates on which they are to be used. To do so, it must have special characteristics to withstand technical and thermal stresses, and to fulfill its waterproofing function.
