Description
IKO APP Torch‑On Capsheet
The IKO APP Torch‑On Capsheet is a glass-fibre reinforced, APP-modified bitumen membrane designed for torch-on installation. Applied as the top layer over a suitable underlay (e.g., TGX), it forms a waterproof, UV-resistant roofing surface for flat, inverted, nailable, or cold build systems. Available in various colour-granule finishes and fully compliant with CE and UKCA regulations.
Features
- Glass-fibre carrier provides excellent dimensional stability and tensile strength.
- APP-modified bitumen ensures high softening point, flexibility in temperature extremes, and marks resistance.
- Mineral granule surface in colours (green, black, brown, etc.) offers UV protection and aesthetic choice.
- Thermofusible film underside and selvedge (typically 75–90 mm) allows fast, reliable full bond torching.
- Roll size: typically 8 m long × 1 m wide (≈ 32 kg, ~4 mm thick).
- Material guarantee: 10–20 years when installed within a full IKO system (varies by product variant).
Applications
- Top-cap waterproofing layer on torch-applied built-up roofing systems
- Suitable for new-builds, refurbishments, or overlays on sound existing bitumen/asphalt membranes
- Usable on flat, low-pitched, sloped, and vertical sections of roofing
- Ideal for domestic, commercial, or refurbishment projects needing robust, long-lasting protection
Standards & Compliance
- CE & UKCA marked – compliant with European and UK construction product regulations
- APP-modified, mineral-surfaced, glass-reinforced cap sheet—meeting typical SBS system criteria
- High softening point (> temperature at which footmarking occurs), UV-resistant design
- Manufacturer guarantee: 10–20 years (depending on variant: standard APP 10 yrs; TGX 10 yrs; Defender/Turbo Torch up to 15–20 yrs).
