Laribit Gilly Torch

Characteristics
GILLY is a prefabricated membrane made of bitumen distillate modified with elastomeric and plastomeric polymers. GILLY P is reinforced with spunbond non-woven polyester filaments stabilized with fibreglass, while GILLY V with reinforced glass fibre. The waterproofing compound obtained through the complete homogenization of bitumen distillate with elastomeric and plastomeric polymers is added with special additives, and offers:

• resistance to U.V. radiation
• resistance to temperature change
• resistance to O3
• resistance to chemical corrosion (acids and salts)
• waterproof seal
• good adhesion when heated to all supports

Methods of application

• The membrane is usually applied by heating the bituminous blend using a gas burner or hot air guns in special cases.
• Always use the individual protection devices specified by law.
• Never use these systems on heat-sensitive supports or insulation.
• Scrupulously respect the recommendations and warnings for use provided on the product’s technical data sheet.
• The waterproofing system and the products recommended can be modified as required by the roof’s constructive type and size (please consult our Technical Assistance Service).
• Conduct regular maintenance on the roof in order to remove detritus, mud, grass, etc., and to keep the operation of the waterproofing system and accessories (drains, TV antennas, air-conditioning systems, etc.) under control.
• Whenever there is reason to believe that the element to be waterproofed has traces of residual humidity (e.g. during renovations of existing roof coverings, applications after abundant rainfall), vents should be positioned in such way as to permit its elimination.
