Advantages

Everybody knows Velcro tape. Its tried and tested in many areas. A new area is the use as a mechanical fastening for bitumen membranes used in roofing.

The principle is quite simple: hook tape strips are rolled out parallelly and mounted to the surface using roofing screws. Afterwards, the sealing membrane easyklett^® is rolled and pressed onto the tape. Finally the overlays are simply closed using a hot air device.

The strongest argument for using easyklett^® is the flame-free application, in contrast to traditional sealing membranes. The flame-free technology eliminates the danger of fire. This opens new fields of application especially in sensitive areas, where open flames are prohibited, like in the chemical or the car industry.
The special felt at the underside, combined with high-quality polymer modified bitumen allows quick sealing and ensures safe and homogenous joints.

Cutting out and the bigger number of joints of conventional single-ply bitumen systems is very time-consuming. Time you win employing easyklett^®, thanks to fewer working steps.

The variable arrangement and the quicker fixing of hook tape in contrast to fastening at the border of a strip saves application time.

easyklett^® can be employed no matter what kind of construction is below. Unlike other single-ply sealings you do not need any cuttings if the distance between the lines has to be reduced due to calculated wind loads. Thus less material will be needed and wasted and there are significantly fewer joints and overlaps. Due to the fastening with hook tape the normally required wider overlap at the borders is unnecessary, too.

With easyklett^® retrofit of new parts like ventilations or light domes is easy. The detachable connection between felt and hook tape even allows sandwich constructions – another bonus of a well thought-out, safe sealing system.
And: the option to create a conventional connection to the bituminous cap layer using a welding strip remains for decades, thanks to the high quality compounds.
