SOPREMA Mechanically Attached Application

SOPREMA’s SOPRAFIX System is a heavy duty, two ply SBS Modified Bitumen membrane system with the base sheet mechanically fastened to the deck using heavy duty fasteners with the cap ply fully bonded to the base sheet. The SOPRAFIX System can be designed to meet very high wind uplift requirements in areas prone to hurricane strikes such as the Atlantic Coast, Florida and the Gulf Coast.

Mechanically attached base ply membranes include SOPRAFIX S, our standard mechanically attached base ply and SOPRAFIX X for very high wind prone applications.

The cap sheet can be any self adhered, cold applied or heat welded membrane. COLPHENE FIX is an ideal solution in many cases. COLPHENE FIX is a self adhered cap sheet with a granular surface. The end result is a “nature friendly” SBS Modified Bitumen membrane system that is cosmetically appealing with no asphalt run out of the seams.

TRI-FIX is an innovative fastener system designed to improve the overall holding power (withdrawal resistance) into nailable substrates, particularly lightweight insulating concretes.

UNILAY is a mechanically attached single ply SBS Modified Bitumen membrane with a polyester reinforcement and a plastic burn-off underside and granulated topside. It is an economical, labor saving product that has a longer life expectancy when compared with a torched APP membrane with coating.
